We did a private guided walking tour of London and WW2 Churchill War Rooms with David as our guide. David was ready and exactly where they said he would be. He was very knowledgeable about Churchill and London in the WW2 era. Great tour . The war rooms are a must!

Nathan was a wonderful guide today. Very knowledgeable and maintained a great sense of humor. He projected nicely which was nice sense it was quite windy outside today. Wonderful time today. Thanks so much!!
I highly recommend this walking tour, which is an easy flat course. I have been to London many times, and this one was truly the highlight of my many trips there. Of course, the war rooms were amazing, but Paul, our tour guide, is what really made the pre-war rooms tour so fantastic. It is unfortunate, the tour guides have to leave when you enter the exhibit, but there are plenty of volunteer guides throughout the exhibit.
Richard did an excellent job!
I highly recommend this tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and kept a good pace to see everything. I learned so much!
Richard was our guide. He was humorous and very well versed in the history of London and how it pertained to WW2 and Churchill. He did an excellent job painting an accurate picture of Churchill and highlighting the spots in London that pertained to this time period. I highly recommend this tour and booking with Richard if possible!
Francis took us on our tour this morning. He was both entertaining and knowledgeable - we had a great time. Visited some important sites and memorials , and he has some great anecdotes to share. Thanks!
Great walking tour. Guide was knowledgeable , friendly & funny. Should note the tour does not include Westminster Abbey. Just city of Westminster
Had a great time on the WW2 tour with Paul. He was a wealth of knowledge and gave great background of WW2 history and acted as a great primer before a visit to the Churchill war room. The tour was about an hour and a half.
Jeremy was a fabulous guide. Interesting, informative and pleasant. We all enjoyed our time with him.
My guide, Richard, was fantastic. Extremely knowledgeable, intelligent, and added a good dose of dry British humor into the tour. It was exceptional. However, he had one grotesque error in his facts, he asserted that we Americans drive on the wrong side of the road, which is obviously untrue.
Nathan was an excellent tour guide with a wealth of knowledge of history. He was thoroughly entertaining and amusing. I would this tour to everyone.mem
Nathan was superb. Clearly knowledgeable. He shared so much history and information. Easy to understand, great command of the subject and our tour group. I wished he could have led us thru War Rooms! It was my favorite tour in London. (Well, right up there with The Tower of London.) His enthusiasm for history and London was palpable. Do it. Ask for Nathan.
Nathan was our guide for our 1.5 hour small group tour of the area leading up to the entry to the Churchill War Rooms. He worked for Urban Saunters, a tour group owned by Slawek Kukielka. Both Nathan and Slowek were terrific- Slowek because he made sure that all was perfect for the tour before it started, and Nathan because he was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and clearly loved his subject matter. He was able to bring his subject matter to life, and gave many anecdotes to further enrich his material. My husband and I were both so happy that we had the tour prior to entering the War Rooms!
Amazing tour, very informative and Babs was a great tour guide!
Jeremy was our guide and he was great! Very knowledgeable and funny! He answered all our questions about the monuments, the royal zone, parliament ect. He told us some great Churchill stories as well as great facts about WII, the monarchy, and the government. Would 100% reccomend the company, Jeremy and the WWII/Churchill War Rooms tour for anyone interested in history or politics.
Spent a terrific morning learning the history of the area and getting a top-notch personal tour of the War Rooms. Jeremy was a fantastic guide who had an amazing command of the history of Churchill and the significant events that unfolded there. We felt like we got a real sense of this history and the relevance of it to modern London. I hope we can return and I would definitely request Jeremy for another tour! Well done!
Mr. David was so much fun and full of information! He was funny and explained everything very well and in great detail. He answered all of our questions quite well. He was a bit mad though. Otherwise, I had a fantastic experience!
