The Experience
What your day looks like
The City of London, as it stands, was founded by the Romans and their rule lasted from 43 AD to the fifth century AD when Boudica burnt the city to the ground. You will travel back in time to the Roman settlement of Londinium and witness the Romans marching into London on your London Taxi time machine. If you are a history lover, bring all your questions to the tour because your tour guide is a keen Londoner and a historian. For the rest, you’ll shun your illusions about history being a bore.
