Even History Buffs Can Learn Something from This Tour

I had already known a lot about Britain's involvement in WWII, but the tour guide Richard was able to tell a personal story about every statue and monument the 10 of us passed, which I would not have known otherwise, and which made the history come alive. Monty had a way of making people instantly dislike him, including Churchill. General Alanbrook was one of the few who would tell Churchill when he was wrong. And the tour guide Richard's father fought, in fact, in the Burma Campaign.

Never have so many owed so much to so few !

This was a great walking tour. Our tour guide Babs was excellent - knowledgeable, interesting with a great sense of humour which made it fun. I learnt a lot. The Churchill museum is definitely worth a visit. What a guy !! I would highly recommend this tour !

Recommend!

Richard our guide was great - gave interesting and honest takes on both Churchill the man and the times he lived in.

Pretty educational to see from a different perspective

Fun little tour. There was a lot of general WW2 and not so much Churchill. Most of the Churchill information is in the tunnel, which our guide wasn’t with us for.
