Fantastic introduction to London’s response to World War 2 - Brendan was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. He left us with an insight into who Churchill was, his work as a World War 2 Leader and his legacy. Highly recommend both the tour and War Rooms.

London - We had a great time on the Tour. Our guide Paul was awesome. He did a great job of not providing too much or too little info and constantly asked for feedback as we went. Really good job of catering to us. The war rooms were good but didn’t realize that you could spend a long time there with the rooms and the museum. So probably need to go back to finish! Thanks Paul!
