About
As the arteries, alleyways and alleys of the historic center of London reveal their well-kept secrets, you will learn how this ancient city has evolved.
Who would have thought that this Roman colony, founded at the beginning of our era, would become a capital on a European scale and a platform for international finance?
Through this visit we will discuss the key moments that shaped the ancient fortified city during its 2000 years of history.
Along the way we'll see London's smallest sculpture, one of Charles Dickens favorite restaurants, and even a famous door that Harry Potter fans will recognize. Will also be mentioned some of the characters who have left their imprint indelibly on the history of the City, as this goose become mascot of a local market or this baker at the origin of a terrible event!

- OYP-London0 contributionsExcellent tour, full of facts and anecdotesVery good value. We organised a tour for 11 people around the East End of London. Our guide Jordi was fabulous, and full of energy, mixing facts, anecdotes and humour with ease. Our 4-hour tour of the East End was varied, full of fun and informative. We will rebook next year for a different area of LondonWritten 25 April 2022

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We 100% recommend tours with Maxime. These visits are fascinating, full of anecdotes, very well documented, they are very lively and he is an excellent storyteller.
The modern and ancient contrast is striking and particularly well highlighted by Maxime.

Have just spent the most magical morning with Maxime and I couldn't recommend this trip highly enough - Maxime is just a joy - passionate, enthusiastic, utterly knowledgeable whilst also being the most delightful person to spend the time with! I've learned more about my home city with Maxime and I will be back to do more tours! It's a morning I'll treasure and never forget !

A general public visit accessible to everyone. Original, educational and interesting course. In short, a professional visit by a guide who is not stingy with his good addresses. 😁Thank you very much!
