Pay Peter to Pay Paul I will never forget that now - My 23 year old son and I did the walking tour with Andy. He is a great tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and he has the perfect personality for a tour guide. He shared some interesting facts like the story behind the saying “pay Peter to pay Paul.” Now I know where that saying comes from. We loved it! The war room was good. I have been there before but the first time for my son. It was crowded today. More than I remembered. But overall I highly recommend this tour.

london - The World War II archives were amazing although we feel we could have used more time there rather than walking around the city listening to our guide. He was very nice but a little chatty.
