About this tour

What to expect
Your guide collects you from your hotel and walks you through a network of tight streets and historic squares. You'll spend time at major monuments—St Paul's and the Tower are exterior views unless you opt for separate entry—but the real experience lies in the lesser-known passages between them. Expect to hear detailed accounts of the Tower's prisoners, the Great Fire of 1666, and how banking and commerce shaped this corner of London. The route covers roughly two miles on relatively flat terrain, though cobblestones and uneven pavements feature throughout.
