Richard, our guide, was so informed about the history of the Churchill War Rooms. Our visit was extremely interesting and Richard’s humor added to the experience! I highly recommend visiting this historic site!

Francis was a great guide, we enjoyed the ww2 tour and war rooms! He had lots of great stories and we even saw the changing of the guard.

A wonderful walking tour together with Nathan, our amazing guide. Nathan clearly cares about his work and is always very eager to share more about World War 2, Winston Churchill as well as the surrounding areas in which the tour covers. His wonderful anecdotes, such as his great grandaunt's identical sleeping posture since World War 2 in anticipation of air raids really add colour and life to the information he shared with us. Highly recommend this tour for everyone interested in World War 2.

The tour was really enjoyable, interesting and over all a cool experience. Richard is an excellent guide with a lot of knowledge and he made the tour really interesting.The war rooms, which were also included were interesting as well, but on this day too crowed for us personally.
