Overview

Step through the veneer of London's surface and there is a world of hidden temples, forgotten rivers, ancient churches, cobbled stairways that speak of the ruins of a thousand years and stories of lost memories, love, heartache and humour. With your guide and driver you will go where tourists do not - through old alleys in the oldest part of the city. Meet the legends of London - from literature to ghosts, from the forgotten Londoner making ends meet to the doomed aristocratic lovers who were forever lost. Touch an ancient wall, see a lost Roman amphitheatre, a knights temple, the Queen's tea trader and so much more. We do not want to reveal too much for now - what is hidden stays hidden - but on this private tour, you get a once only pass to see what lies behind the looking glass - all is not quite what it seems. Join us.
