Enjoyable Walk Learning about Winston Churchill - Enjoyed our tour with Beth. A nice small group of us had a wander round a very busy Westminster but we managed to find quiter spots to have an interesting talk and learnt some interesting stories about Winston Churchill. Not too much walking and well worth doing!

Winston Churchill - Great tour to learn more about Winston Churchill, World War II & London history. Our guide, Beth was brilliant. She kept my 11 & 13 year old engaged the whole time.

Excellent Churchill and WW2 tour - Excellent tour . Really enjoyed the way the guide asked before we started how many of us were fans of Churchill , and shaped the tour accordingly . The quote “ No more champagne “ should be more widely used .

Great Experience! - The tour was very informative, and we are very glad we booked it! We learned a lot. Also, if you are interesting in going to the War Rooms, I would recommend booking it about a week in advance. If not, you would have to wait about an hour to see if you could go in.

Enjoyable and informative - Rosie led the tour and was fantastic, very knowledgeable with the right level of humour. She's an absolute gem! I didn't know what to expect the tour but it was very informative and gave a great insight. I could have wandered around London with Rosie giving me historical details all day. I highly recommend this tour.

Not as expected ! - Pleasant guide (accompanied by her assumed partner), the tour was more general in nature than was expected. Not a great deal of captivating facts, and was a bit disappointed by the lack of focus on the man himself (Churchill). If you have high expectations (as I did) then they need to be tempered.
