Fabulous tour with Nathan! - We had a great walking tour yesterday with our guide Nathan. He was very informative, funny and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend. The tour didn’t require a long walk - but it was alot of standing. Ended in the Churchill War room which had a ton of information and a break if needed!

Must experience tour on Churchill! - Richard was an OUTSTANDING guide. He had so much enthusiasm and knowledge. The tour helped to give context to everything we would see in the Churchill War Room. I would definitely recommend this tour rather than just go to the war room alone. Richard was GREAT! He is such a gentleman and very helpful!

David was excellent, knowledgeable, funny! Would highly recommend this tour - David was an excellent guide, knowledgeable and funny, and a former real life bobby too! With a medal to boot! He gave all the interesting tidbits about Churchill so much so that when I went to the war rooms, I felt I already knew all the stuff I was interested in.

It’s ok - Meeting location terrible. Extremely busy corner. Hard to find guide with a tiny faded flag. Some interesting stories but seemed like some time fillers as well.
