A professional guide leads the walk; transport to and from attractions is excluded, and temple access at peak times requires advance booking. 4.98 from 47 reviews at €220 per person for 3h–4h. ## Overview You don't have to go to Rome to see Roman ruins, or even St Albans,  Bath or York.  Though people were all ready living here, it was the Romans who founded the modern city of Londinium that through the millennia has metamorphosed into today what is possibly the greatest city in the world.   This private walking tour will take you to little visited spots in the heart of the City of London where the remains of Roman buildings can still be found, hidden amongst all the skyscrapers of the 21st century. ## Before you book - Hotel pickup: from 642 pickup points - Min. 2 to book: not for solo travellers - Starts 09:30: one departure a day - Children from €78: ages 5 to 14 ## Key facts - Price: from €220 per person - Duration: 3h–4h - Rating: 4.98/5 from 47 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Likely to sell out - Recommended by 100% of travellers (share of four- and five-star reviews) - Operator: Ye Olde England Tours - Minimum booking: 2 travellers at this price ## What's included - Local guide - Private tour - Professional guide ## Not included - Transportation to/from attractions ## Itinerary 1. **St. Paul's Cathedral** (5m) - We start off in the shadow of St Pauls Cathedral.
