Worth every penny! - Loved this tour. Our guide did a wonderful job on the walking tour. Saw so many things we may have not noticed without tour and was fascinating. War room was outstanding could spend all day in there. Very well done!

David's Churchillian walkabout - We were in good company with David. He was very engaging and knowledgeable, and he clearly loves what he's doing - sharing his knowledge of history. And I appreciated that he was willing to accept the group's input.

Not quite WW2 but got to see war rooms - Our tour guide did not give any info on WW2 - some Churchill - but gave more options in the royals and government. Very disappointing - and a waste of 90 minutes— on the other hand the Churchill War rooms were fantastic and wish we had just booked that instead of the combo

Disappointing - Took my partner for his birthday but the tour guide wasn’t very good. Gave wrong facts and seemed like he forgot things a lot. I gave up listening towards the end. 40 min delay getting in to the war rooms which wasn’t the guides fault but made us late for lunch.
