A fun 3 hour walk with Benedict - We met Benedict at the Ritz Hotel and he took the dozen or so of us on a rollicking tour around Westminster. We stopped at all the highlights you’d expect in this area from parks to rivers to Buckingham Palace and the Mall, Trafalgar Square, the British Parliament and Big Ben, ending by Westminster Abbey. Half our group peeled off to tour the Churchill War Rooms while the rest continued on with Benedict.
What a great guide. Very knowledgeable with lots of historical facts but laced with lots of humour. We had so much fun on this tour and I would do it all over again!

Great tour of Westminster! - This was an excellent opportunity to walk through Westminster and see the main attractions. Kim was an excellent guide with vast knowledge of the area. It was a good jumping off point to see which sites you might want to go back and take more time to explore. Kim was friendly and the smaller group size was perfect. The Churchill war room tour was also phenomenal for history buff such as myself. Highly recommend this tour!

This walking tour and Nick were the best Walking Tour we have been on - Even in the rain this tour was worth every penny. Nick, our guide, was amazing. Full of information and wonderful stories. He knew the history and made it fun. I would do this tour again. Pace was perfect.

Sometimes, with the right guide, the rain just adds to the atmosphere - Jason was amazing!!! Kept the group moving even though the weather was very wet that day (ah well, it IS London after all). We had a wonderful time, he knew his stuff, and answered all the questions we had for him. He even had his eyes/ears ready for the Guard to appear as it was the anniversary of the King's coronation. I was able to get some good photos, but if Jason wasn't on the look out for us, we'd have missed the event entirely!

Excellent tour - and saw the Royals! - Excellent tour… and we saw King Charles and Queen Camilla - twice! While that was just luck, our tour guide Mark was a wealth of information knowing when to go where and navigating based on the days events.

Excellent experience, but prepare - This was a great little walking tour, and Christopher was an excellent; deep knowledge, very good sense of humor, and thought ahead to give us much better photos than would have been possible without him. Our group had 20 tourists, and it was no problem to hear him or keep up.
Not a complaint, but an observation… I understood it to be a 3 hour tour including the Churchill War Rooms, but the tour was a 3hour tour followed by a ticket to the War Rooms. Prepare yourself for no time for lunch.

Westminster 3 Hour Walking Tour - In February, my friends and I enjoyed a memorable Westminster 3 Hour Walking Tour and visited the Churchill War Rooms. Despite the cold, our guide's captivating stories about Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, and more kept us engaged. The highlight was exploring the detailed Churchill War Rooms, offering a profound glimpse into World War II history. A warmer day would have enhanced the experience, and a mid-tour break would be beneficial. Overall, a must-do for history enthusiasts, especially Churchill fans. Highly recommended!

Disappointed at the end. - The guide was terrific! He shared great stories with us and showed off the sights of that area very well.
Sadly your company screwed up the tickets to the Churchill War rooms- the whole reason we booked the trip. We had to pay full price at the door. Very disappointing.

Disappointed - Walking tour was informative but digital ticket we were given to get into War Room was not accepted and we had to purchase 2 tickets again. Kim the guide did not escort us to entrance to troubleshoot. In process of asking for refund of tickets for War Room but Trip Advisor has not confirmed yet.
