A humorous day in London before you get to the serious war rooms - The walk before we get to the war rooms was wonderful our guide whose name I think is Jo was extremely knowledgeable and funny and I think the word is cheeky.

Jo is the best guide! - Jo was an amazing guide, I wanted 2 more hours with her to explore more of the city! Her knowledge, experience, and ability to pack in history with current culture was phenomenal.

Great walking tour! - There is a fair bit of walking. Bundle up in November. The War Room Museum was an incredible experience. It really gave you a sense of Churchill and what it was like to lead a war effort from an underground bunker.

Brendan was an excellent historian! Made our experience enlightening and informative. Just what we were looking for. - Learn more than you thought you knew. Such a mind for history. Brendan knew a variety of facts on Churchill that the regular history books didn't share.

Churchill Comprehensive. - Short but great walking tour of key sites in westminister area-parliament , abbey, square , then a stroll by downing and to changing of the guard. Very knowledgeable guide -Louise. But the best was the Churchill war rooms tour and Churchill museum--a joint venture . the self audio tour device -comprehensive. -the war rooms fascinating. The Museum extensive -almost too much to take in!
