It’s a 1.5 - 2 hour... - It’s a 1.5 - 2 hour walking tour outside before you go into the War Rooms. I didn’t realize that, I may have missed it. But our guide was very knowledgeable and told great stories not only about Churchill but the history of London as well

War rooms are interesting but make sure your guide speaks the same language! - Our guide was very knowledgeable and very friendly but difficult to understand. She had a thick accent (perhaps Chinese?) We requested an English speaking guide and while she did know English but it was broken and hard to comprehend what she was saying.

This is great if you like... - This is great if you like history and a lot of details snd explanations. Too much talking and standing for us. The guide was extremely knowledgeable. Better to buy the war room tickets and visit on your own with an audio guide. The war rooms are not to be missed.

Not cost effective . Book with the museum directly - It’s best to just buy a ticket from the museum directly and get an audio tour. Cheaper and you get all the information. The museum is well organized and you wait in cue like everyone else. This tour is not cost effective
