This cultural tour was designed by Khalid exclusively for Airbnb.
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.

This is a really special tour—Khalid is an expert archaeologist but also has an infectious love of history and London. I brought my father who is a classical architect and a tough audience. He found the tour interesting and engaging and really enjoyed Khalid’s fluent knowledge of the British history. Thank you!

Can’t speak more highly of Khalid. What an amazing tour of the City of London. Khalid speaks with an incredible depth of knowledge in terms of archeology as well as history spanning from the ancient Romans across 2000 years. If you are a history buff you can’t miss this tour.
