This was excellent and a great way to start getting out and about again. It was quite a revelation about the beginning of my home city.

Lynn (5/5) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"My husband and I booked our Roman Tour with Ian. It was in May of 2024. We still regard this as one of the best experiences we had in London. We wanted to dig deep into the history of the city. Ian’s knowledge of history made it possible to visualize a city within what would appear to be an old brick wall. His knowledge and ability to convey visual imagery made Londinium come alive."
