Your Itinerary

London Bridge

Find the remains of the original medieval stone London Bridge and a piece of the ancient roman wharf nestled in the grounds of a 17th century church.

The Monument to the Great Fire of London

Check out the imposing Monument to the 1666 fire designed by two of our greatest architects, Christopher Wren and Robert Hooke. Then discover the exact location where this most devastating event in London's history started.

St. Dunstan in the East

Enter this extraordinary garden which sits inside the shell of a church destroyed in the Blitz of WW2. Certainly one of the most incredible locations in London.

30 St Mary Axe (The Gherkin)

Stand among the forest of iconic skyscrapers in the heart of the financial district. Dwarfing the 16th century church in their midst, the view of the Gherkin, Cheesegrater, Walkie Talkie, Scalpel and Lloyds Building is simply breathtaking.

Leadenhall Market

This 19th century architectural masterpiece is simply wonderful. Adorned with dragons and shields of St George, it has been the location of a market place for nearly two thousand years! Not surprisingly it was used by film makers for the first Harry Potter movie...

Jess was a fantastic guide and we loved all the hidden gems that he shared with us! Especially loved the coffee house stories. The ending spot in the garden of the St. Dunstan Church was absolutely perfect.

Very interesting tour of older London sites and curiosities off the beaten track. The guide was very interesting and engaging with lots of facts and anecdotes about the area.

Great tour! If you want to see the parts of the city that many people, including Londoners, don't know, take this tour! Lots of great historical information with fun trivia. The guide is friendly, knowledgeable, and gives a great tour. We all really enjoyed it

Matt is an excellent guide. From meeting up outside Canon Street tube station on a Sunday afternoon, to saying goodbye at St Dunstans he was knowledgeable, informative and fun. A lovely mixed group of people, who mixed and chatted as we discovered alleys in het square mile that you may have walked past every day.

Really interesting and well presented by Matt. Found out stuff I never knew about London. Sunday is a good day for the tour as the area is much quieter than midweek.

My son and I really enjoyed Matt's informative and amusing commentary on this tour, which took us to places which we would otherwise never have known existed. There was a good mix of new and old buildings and environments included. Matt clearly loves London and sharing his passion with his guests. Great way to spend an hour and a half. Will almost certainly book another tour in future.

Me and my partner had a lovely afternoon visiting the alleyways and courtyards with Matt. Matt’s passion and live of London shines through making the experience both super interesting and fun. When we had finished the tour we made our way to The Hung Drawn and Quartered pub, and enjoyed a delicious pie. Perfect

Not really accustomed to writing reviews but we did a family trip to London having received a gift token for Christmas in 2019. Matt is clearly a very experienced tour guide and included in his very informative talk a request to give a review along the lines, Matt is the best tour guide ever. Can't argue with that. Thank you Matt. Informative and fun.
