My wife and I just completed one of the most thorough tours on Winston Churchill. I’m so glad we selected this tour and it was everything we had Hope for. Our Tour Guide, Marty, was the most knowledgeable and interesting person. Eager to answer all your questions and certainly had all the answers. So glad we had the time together.

My husband and I had a fantastic tour with Kevin! He was incredibly knowledgeable, funny, and showed us many of the quirky bits of Churchill history (and some Royal history) throughout the tour. It is a fairly long tour, so be prepared with comfortable and supportive shoes. Well worth the money and it was a bonus to go into some shops that have history - definitely something you don't get on larger groups tours!

Stephen was very knowledgeable and interacted well with our teen. He made the tour fun and interesting and we barely noticed the cold rain!

Our guide Stephen provided an interesting story at every point during the tour. He was an encyclopedia of fun facts and trivia about Churchill, WW2, Royalty and London history. We learned so much during our time together we were reluctant for the walking tour to end. However, the Churchill War Rooms did not disappoint ! The audio tour (available with the ticket) provides insights into a critical part of world history.

A war buff historian must see. The war rooms give you an up close idea of what it was like to run the war from underground London. A bit claustrophobic, but efficiently set up to run Britains war machine. Fascinating as compared to today.
