"A Must-Do Tour for History Lovers!
I recently had the pleasure of joining the Roman London walking tour, and I cannot recommend it highly enough! As a history enthusiast, I found this tour to be an absolute gem and an unforgettable experience.
Our tour guide Ian was a qualified City of London expert, who shared captivating stories and anecdotes about the first Londoners, bringing ancient Londinium to life right before our eyes. The guide's passion and knowledge were apparent throughout the entire 90-minute journey.
From the awe-inspiring remains of the Roman city wall to the hidden Roman Amphitheatre beneath the Guildhall Art Gallery, each site we visited was more fascinating than the last. The locations of the Temple of Mithras and the Roman Forum and Basilica were particular highlights, offering a unique insight into the lives of those who lived in this great city so long ago.
Not only did we explore the well-known landmarks, but our guide also led us to lesser-known corners of Roman London that I never knew existed. This tour truly opened my eyes to the incredible history lying just beneath the surface of the modern city.
The Roman London walking tour was well-organized, engaging, and truly enjoyable. I left with a deeper appreciation for the city's rich history and its transformation over the centuries. If you're a lover of history or just curious about London's past, this tour is an absolute must-do!
I will definitely be recommending this tour to all my friends and family visiting London in the future.
What people have said about our Roman London Walk:
“This was an excellent walk, and Ian was an engaging and incredibly knowledgeable guide. He made everyone feel instantly welcome, and managed to impart a huge amount of information during the course of the walk, in a lively and interesting way so it never felt too much. I learned a lot, especially at Leadenhall Market about the area of the ancient forum and basilica, but I also had a great time. The route and the pace were perfect for me, and everyone else in the group seemed to be fine with it too. I will certainly be listening to your podcast on Roman London, and intend to book another walk with Ian at some point. ” Jane
“Really enjoyed this guided walk; very informative and interesting and well presented. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to gain richer perspectives on London’s early history.” Irini
“Excellent guided tour of Roman London. The guide was very knowledgeable and spoke with clarity, making it a very interesting and worthwhile few hours. Would definitely recommend it.” Pauline
Learn more about this fascinating period in London’s past, keep exploring our blog posts, podcasts and join us for a walking tour of Roman London where we explore the history of Roman London and its impact on modern-day London. We will also take a look at some of the archaeological evidence that has been uncovered in the city.
