This was great - Very knowledgeable group leader. Very interesting but I’m a Churchill fan. The war rooms part was also very interesting, but as I’ve noticed in other British museums and compared to American and German museums, it’s a bit disorganized. You just have to do more work to follow.

Excellent and insightful tour - Great tour of Churchill’s War Rooms! The experience starts with about 90 minutes of walking beforehand. Could be a long walk for some, but it was broken up with plenty of stops and packed with knowledgeable, engaging insight along the way. The commentary added so much context and really brought the history to life. We learned a lot and truly had a great time from start to finish. After the walking tour, you get access to the war room exhibit that you can access at your own pace. The museum is extensive and required us 2 hours to explore. Great experience.

London, WWII + Churchill - Michael was an incredible guide. He was a wealth of knowledge, especially facts about UK government structure + architecture . His dept of commentary regarding Churchill’s involvement + WWII was wide ranging. He also has a wicked sense of humor woven into his stories. Highly recommend!!!!

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.
