We had an incredible experience listening to Khalid walking us through the history of London. He's patient, hilarious and most important of all, he is an expert at his subject.
His goal was less about taking us to as many places as possible, but rather picking the most important areas and going deep into each of it. Exactly the way I'd have wanted it.
Khalid's tour might be pricier than the other walking tours here on Airbnb, but it's absolutely worth it. Do not think twice before booking :)

We really loved taking this archaeology tour! We learned a ton about the history of London and England as a whole, and the guide had deep knowledge and terrific analysis of historical events. It was a great way to see a slice of the old part of the city!

We loved this tour! Learned so much and the archeological focus gave new light to buildings we walk past without thinking about their history. Khalid is so knowledgable and engaging! The time flew by, wish we could have extended the tour another hour!

Incredible! Khalid is very nice and is a source of knowledge. The group was made up of people who knew about history and others who were completely new (like me), and everyone was able to learn things and have a good time. English is not my mother tongue but I was able to appreciate and understand the experience. If I come back to London with someone, I'll book again!

It was the first time my girlfriend was in London. And I'm super happy that we booked the tour with Khalid. He's funny and knowledgeable. We would definitely recommend!

About me
Professional archaeologist, historian
I'm a professional archaeologist with degrees from UCL and years of fieldwork across the UK, including Roman and medieval sites. I bring deep, first-hand knowledge of London’s history — not just from books, but from the trenches. I’ve worked on major excavations and studied the city’s evolution from Londinium to the present. This tour blends academic insight with engaging storytelling to make 2,000 years of history come to life.
