Overview

You don't have to go to Rome to see Roman ruins, or even St Albans,  Bath or York.  Though people were all ready living here, it was the Romans who founded the modern city of Londinium that through the millennia has metamorphosed into today what is possibly the greatest city in the world.  

This private walking tour will take you to little visited spots in the heart of the City of London where the remains of Roman buildings can still be found, hidden amongst all the skyscrapers of the 21st century.

This tour followed the remains of the old Roman wall around downtown London. Kevin, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable, and had many fascinating surprises, including, revealing the wall of the Roman basilica beneath the hair dressing salon the tour was well paced, and Kevin also offered stories about More recent London history as well as current observations. I highly recommend this experience.

Wonderful tour packed with history from the Romans to the present day and Kevin tells you all about it. Kevin is a captivating storyteller and holds you in suspense. Absolutely worth it.

Steven kept his appointment even though I was the only one who signed up for his tour. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. I saw evidence of several colosseums and the Roman wall along with one special stone that was from Stonehenge. He showed me many Roman ruins off the beaten tourist paths. In addition, he offered to take me to other tourist sites. We walked and talked for four hours. We stopped for a small rest at a small cafe in an historical budling where he treated me to a beverage. I especially appreciated him meeting me at my hotel. If you are interested in history, I recommend Steven.

Stephen, our guide, was the best! He walked us around the City of London’s Roman ruins, those in the guide books and some that were not. He was most knowledgeable not only about the Roman history but London’s in general and shared stories about any interesting spot we pasted Roman, medieval, WWII, or today’s era. He was upbeat, funny, and a pleasure to walk with. We highly recommend a tour with Stephen!
