Excellent

Kate was on time and friendly from the start. She reviewed what we would see and how our time would be used. She achieved two objectives: to humanize Churchill and to overview the losses and challenges of Londoners during WW 2. Couldn’t ask more from a tour guide!! Would recommend her to any of my friends interested in a walking tour.

Excellent. Kate was amazing as a guide. She knew Churchill very well, both his personal life and his achievements. We felt we knew Churchill personally as well after the tour.

Our guide Suzan’s was very friendly and very knowledgeable. The walk (longer than anticipated) was quite interesting as to personal aspects of Churchill. At the end of the walk we arrived at The Churchill Underground War Rooms. They are a fascinating and informative presentation as to how the British waged WWII. The rooms are extensive and require much time to view and absorb all that is there.
