About David Mebane and Kairos Tours

My name is David Mebane and I am a lifelong traveler that experienced my first international trip as a 2nd grader, and I haven’t stopped since. I founded Fat Tire Tours in Paris, France in 1999 and love showing people around the City of Light. That passion has grown to include other incredible destinations around the globe, and is the genesis for Kairos Tours. I don't know every destination on the globe, but I do know several well, and I love to take people with me to create experiences and memories that last a lifetime. 

I live in Austin, Texas with my wife Kelly and our son Weston and daughter Caroline. However, we spend as much time as we can elsewhere since there is nothing better than an adventure with family and friends.

London History

London History image

From Ancient Empire to Modern Icon

London's story is an epic journey through time, a magnificent tapestry woven from layers of conquest, innovation, and enduring spirit, set along the winding River Thames. Its origins trace back nearly two millennia to Londinium, a strategic port founded by the Roman Empire in 43 AD. From this humble, yet pivotal, beginning, it rapidly grew into a bustling trading hub, a vital artery of Roman Britain. Even after the Romans departed, London persisted, eventually rising to become the heart of a vast empire, a global center for commerce, culture, and governance that shaped the modern world. Every street, every ancient alleyway, whispers tales of dramatic events, from royal coronations to pivotal scientific discoveries.

Throughout the centuries, London has consistently reinvented itself, absorbing diverse cultures and ideas while maintaining its distinct identity. It navigated devastating fires and plagues, witnessed the grandeur of Tudor monarchs and the intellectual ferment of the Enlightenment, and endured the blitz of wartime resilience. It became a beacon of artistic expression, a powerhouse of literature and theater, home to figures like Shakespeare and Dickens whose words continue to resonate globally. This constant evolution transformed London into a true melting pot, a place where people from every corner of the earth contribute to its vibrant energy and rich cultural landscape, making it a unique crossroads of history and humanity.

Today, London stands as one of the world's truly great cities, a captivating blend of iconic landmarks and cutting-edge modernity. You can walk through the ancient Tower of London, then emerge to see the gleaming skyscrapers of the financial district, or marvel at Westminster Abbey's timeless beauty before stepping into the bustling energy of Trafalgar Square. It remains a leading center for finance, fashion, and the arts, continually drawing millions with its unparalleled array of museums, galleries, and historic sites. London's enduring legacy is a testament to its remarkable capacity for growth, its vibrant diversity, and its unyielding spirit, a city that truly holds a place on the world stage.
