Half-Day City of London Tour
Half a day in London’s historic heart and modern financial center
- WITH
- Claudia | about the guide
London is quite literally a ‘super city’ with two cities within its boundaries: the City of London and the City of Westminster. This private walking tour will focus on the City of London and the centuries of history lining its streets, from ancient Roman to its current role as London’s modern financial center. This is where the newest and oldest elements of the city blend together seamlessly. Follow in the sandals of the ancient Romans living in Londinium, a key commercial centre during the Roman empire; lose yourself in the maze of narrow alleyways; and stop by the historic pubs frequented by the likes of Charles Dickens and Samuel Johnson. You can choose whether to visit the Museum of London to find out more about the people, places and events that shaped its destiny; or explore inside St Paul’s Cathedral and learn about its unique history and anecdotes.

I am Italian and I have been living in London for many years. Before moving to England I spent a few years in Japan where I gained important professional and cultural experiences. After moving to London, I quickly set out exploring the many galleries, museums and neighborhoods. I fell in love with the city - there are so many hidden gems at every twist and turn that I want to share this with you! I’ve since qualified as a Blue Badge Guide in English, Spanish and Italian. Using my teaching experience in Japan and my experience creating educational toys in Italy, I will try to make learning as fun as possible. My mission is to show you the major monuments and hidden secrets of London, from the British Museum to the Tower of London, National Gallery, typical pubs, the East End, Hampton Court and much more. My passions? Art, reading, and languages.
