Pouring rain didn’t stop this guide nor the interest and the subject! - Judd was excellent! He knew his history of Winston and of England. He was a storyteller of history, understanding all the little quirks, success, failures of Winston Churchill, He was real and made a big difference in World War III and much more. It was pouring rain, but he made it work so well finding cover while he told stories and making it work I would not have canceled even spite the rain

Susanna is a great guide - Susanna was a fantastic guide! So beneficial to walk the streets and learn about Churchill as a person prior to visiting the War Room. Definitely worth it!

History with Soul - Excellent tour. Our guide Kate was so knowledgeable on Winston Churchill as a person and as a leader. We also learnt a lot of information on WWII and the bombings people endured in London throughput the war but especially in 1940. The War Rooms were fascinating. What an amazing piece of history that has been preserved for future generations.

Worth it! - Amazing man it was great to learn more about him. The museum and war rooms were exceptional. The walking part of the tour could have been better our guide was a big all over the place. The highlight is the museum and the war rooms.

Very interesting tour. - Kate was a great guide and very informative. Through no fault of hers there was a snafu with the tickets at the War Rooms. We waited approximately 40 mins to enter.

Walking Tour Too Long War Rooms Not Enough Time - We did a Walks Tour that started on Bond Street. The walking tour through where Churchill bought his suits and cigars was nice but the meat of the tour should have been the War Rooms and museum. Our tour guide literally dropped us off at the entrance which was a surprise. The Churchill museum is wonderful!! We were rushed through it. This was a highlight for my husband. I wished we had more time. Go to the War Rooms on your own time.

Skip the tour, go straight to the museum - If you are interested in the more personal life if Winston Churchill (where he shopped, his personal finances, etc.), this tour could be of interest. I did enjoy seeing various sculptures and old buildings he frequented. Otherwise, skip this tour and head directly into the war rooms museum, which my daughter and I both really enjoyed (and would have had more energy to stay longer had we not been tired out from this 2.5 hr walking tour).
