Winston Churchill - Great tour to learn more about Winston Churchill, World War II & London history. Our guide, Beth was brilliant. She kept my 11 & 13 year old engaged the whole time.

Excellent Churchill and WW2 tour - Excellent tour . Really enjoyed the way the guide asked before we started how many of us were fans of Churchill , and shaped the tour accordingly . The quote “ No more champagne “ should be more widely used .

Great Experience! - The tour was very informative, and we are very glad we booked it! We learned a lot. Also, if you are interesting in going to the War Rooms, I would recommend booking it about a week in advance. If not, you would have to wait about an hour to see if you could go in.

Enjoyable and informative - Rosie led the tour and was fantastic, very knowledgeable with the right level of humour. She's an absolute gem! I didn't know what to expect the tour but it was very informative and gave a great insight. I could have wandered around London with Rosie giving me historical details all day. I highly recommend this tour.

1st walking tour won’t be the last! - Good value for money. Tour guide Rozie was lovely. Friendly and knowledgeable about the subject. Even as someone who grew up and went to school in this country I learned facts I didn’t know. I’ve looked up other walking tours offered for my next trip to London.

Not as expected ! - Pleasant guide (accompanied by her assumed partner), the tour was more general in nature than was expected. Not a great deal of captivating facts, and was a bit disappointed by the lack of focus on the man himself (Churchill). If you have high expectations (as I did) then they need to be tempered.
