Highly recommend. A very informative tour with a delightful guide, Arjun, who is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic in sharing his insights. Our 16-year-old daughter, who plans to study economics at university, also loved the tour and took away many valuable ideas. Thank you, Arjun, for a wonderful and inspiring afternoon.

This tour is a history tour full of information covering thousands of years of trade, bonds and Bank of England history, mixed in with religious beliefs on money and the power of the money holders, plus Kings & Queens impact. If you enjoy historical fun facts around money, this is for you eg where the expression “the short end of the stick” came from.
