WW2/Churchill

Our guide Nathan was fabulous, the tour was on-time for start and finish and ending with the Churchill Museum rounded it off nicely. Highly recommend if you're into war history and/or Churchill

Beware of this tour if you’re mainly interested in the Churchill war rooms. It ‘s better to book with them directly. We booked this tour but didn’t have tickets to the war rooms until 90 minutes later. They would not release the tickets to us and we had to buy separate tickets. Viator would not reimburse for the extra cost.
