Once you’ve ticked off the major tourist attractions in London, and if you’re looking for something different for your days out, join us for a guided tour through history. We will show you sides of London that googling “attractions near me” won’t show you, as we immerse our tour groups in the grim, dark and disgusting sides of history.
More than a ghost tour or a pub crawl
This history tour is truly unique and sets itself apart from any other ghost walking experience or pub tour, by giving our guests a first-hand, interactive experience of life in the middle ages in London, allowing you to come face to face with walking history, as we meet characters from the history we explore on this fully interactive night walk tour. More dramatic than any West End musical, and as funny as the best stand-up comedy London has to offer, this walking tour is a truly unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime experience.
The Cloak and Dagger Tour Experience
On The Cloak and Dagger Tour we don’t just give you the dates and the facts of major historical events. We dive deep into the nitty gritty details of what life was really like for someone in the Middle Ages in London, divulging our knowledge of biology and medicine of the time, earning us a place amongst the best tours in London. As we travel through Southwark, an area of London, today well-known for The Shard, Borough Market and a stunning view of Tower Bridge, we won’t spare you the grim and disgusting details of reality for most people, making you wish you’d brought your anti-anxiety meds(!). Sometimes reality is more dramatic than the imagination, and this can be said to be true for the history we explore on The Cloak and Dagger Tour, which often is more dramatic than many a classical book or Shakespearean theatre.
Key Highlights of the Tou
The Cloak and Dagger Tour begins at the historical pub “The George Inn”, the site of the old Tabard Inn, where England’s literary father, Geoffrey Chaucer, sets the beginning of The Canterbury Tales. This is a great place to fuel up before the tour with a traditional English pub meal and a pint of ale, setting you up for a history tour, exploring Medieval London in the midst of the hustle and bustle of modern London, with trains and aeroplanes passing overhead. We will briefly explore the history of a few other select pubs we pass on the walking tour - burdening you with knowledge which will make you thankful that you won’t have to pass through a gift shop at the end.
