Well worth our time! - Our guide Tanya was fabulous! She had lots of little tidbits and fun facts at all the sites we visited. You can tell she loves her job. She made us feel very welcome in your country.

A great time - A great tour and our guide was spot on for all of the details of our journey. Definitely put on your best walking shoes. I could have spent 3 hours at the Churchill War rooms alone, however my wife and friends were ready for a pub. Overall, we enjoyed the tour and our guide was terrific.

Good guide, good views, good weather=good time - Today was a good day. I was lucky that our guide, Cleo, was the best of all guides. I watched other guides during our journeys. She was very knowledgable , could craft a good story and had a great sense of humor as well. She moved us along at a good pace and had great timing to be in right spots at right times for changing of guard in two areas and had good advice for photo ops. Some other guides were reactive and a step behind us. Certainly the tour was worth the time and expense for a first time Londoner. Highly recommend Cleo.

Book Churchill’s War Room on your own - When you are visiting a foreign country the one thing you want to do is spend your time wisely. We felt like we mostly walked around and didn’t feel like our guide was that knowledgeable. I wish we honestly had taken a hop on hop off bus. We have traveled pretty extensively all over Europe and have had some tremendous tours unfortunately this was not one of them. Churchill’s war room was a completely separate on your own tour and it is awesome so save your time and money for that.

We left the tour early - To be fair, this is partly my fault for misunderstanding the tour description. You DO NOT get access to Westminster Abbey. This tour does NOT get you access to anything. You DO NOT go inside any of the sights. Our tour guide was a kind older gentleman, but he was not a great tour guide. He said the same story over and over and over again. From what we heard, you can learn more from watching The Crown and reading a Rick Steve’s guide book. We ended up leaving the tour early when we were able to get last minute tickets for entry to one of the sights.
