Eye opening! - We learned so much about MORE information about Winston Churchill that we did not know! Made all history so much more cohesive. Especially to our teen kids. Also, saw so many wonderful sites along the way we would have never seen!

Highly Recommend - Richard was a fantastic storyteller and gave us a lot of information that we didn't know about Winston Churchill and a smattering of others along the way. As he greets you, he asks what you are looking to learn and where you are from, and he caters his narrative to your needs/wants. He got us into the War Rooms easily and because he gave us so much information during the walk, we didn't get overwhelmed taking in all the information at the War Rooms. I highly recommend this private experience with him and like others have mentioned, he makes you feel as if you are walking and talking with a friend, rather than just a tour guide.
