The Masterpiece... St Paul's Cathedral and the Historic City of London
Your St Paul's Cathedral and City of London highlights private guided walking tour
Let's start with a two hour walking tour of the ancient City of London. Architecture, Wren churches, 17th C coffee house culture, the Livery companies, the Roman amphitheatre, pageantry, the history of banking and finance, even dragons. . . and so much more to see and talk about.
Afterwards, why don't we disappear down an alleyway and visit a historic (rather secret) pub for refreshment before heading to Sir Christopher Wren's masterpiece St Paul's Cathedral for a private guided tour?
As one of the in-house trained guides I can show you this magnificent 300-year old landmark and reveal it's history. Allow an hour and a half to two hours - more if you want to enjoy tea in the crypt and perhaps stay for an early evening service - it's up to you. Kindly note that St Paul's is closed to visitors (except for worship) on Sundays.
My tours are just for you. I want you to enjoy them to the utmost and take home treasured memories to reflect on forever. And of course there will be hundreds of photo moments too.
