Martin was an amazing tour guide!!! He met us in the lobby of out hotel and did a brief overview before we headed out for the day. He was very engaging with my 10 yo son and was full of wonderful stories.

Kevin, our tour guide, was awesome. He’s extremely knowledgeable and very nice. He had exactly the right pace and has always attentive of our energy level. At the end, he asked us whether we wanted to continue or go directly to the War Rooms. This was very nice of him and we opted to finish the tour before going to the War Rooms. I would highly recommend Kevin to anyone. He anticipated all our questions and provided useful information and suggested other attractions and tour. Overall, we were extremely pleased with Kevin. Regards, Mike.

We had an issue with our flight leaving early. When I explained this, I expected that they would suggest canceling the tour but instead we were given an abbreviated walking tour and given access to the museum earlier. It was very much appreciated. Marty was excellent at showing us as many highlights as possible and getting us to the museum with time to see a good portion of it. Thank you, Marty!

This is another good "get your toes wet" tour for first time visitors to London. Not only is insight provided on Sir Winston's life and daily doings, but also an introduction and familiarization to some well known areas of London. A good initiation.

Austin_A, Jun 2025
Martin was an amazing guide for our tour of Piccadilly and sights associated with Churchill and Britains World War II history. It was exactly what I had hoped it would be. My only regrets is that my gratuity was insufficient for a tour that was absolutely perfect for our interests and capabilities.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thanks for leaving us such a brilliant review. I''m so glad that you had a fantastic time with Martin. We're always very appreciative of any gratuities that we receive. Basically we just love our jobs and showing people our great city and history. Thankyou!

Kevin was an exceptional guide who led us through a scenic route of London with expert knowledge and enthusiasm. As we made our way to the war rooms, he shared insights that only a true history enthusiast would know, making the journey feel rich with meaning. His storytelling transformed each piece of information into a captivating narrative, and by the time we arrived at the war rooms, we felt a deeper connection to Churchill and his legacy. Kevin’s patience, in-depth expertise, and engaging manner truly enhanced our experience, making the tour comprehensive, enlightening, and memorable.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Thankyou ever so much for your wonderful review. I'm so glad that you enjoyed your tour with Kevin and he really enjoyed reading it too. Thankyou!
John_M, Jan 2025
This was as good a tour as we have been on anywhere. The star of the your is the legacy of Winston Churchill but that is personified in the person of our tour guide, Kevin. His enthusiastic 3 hour walk through London pointed out things we could’ve never seen. I can say enough nice things about that part of the tour. The Churchill War Rooms are well done. The self guided iPhone/headset was a little clunky and not terribly intuitive. The other part was by then we were hungry. All in all, Kevin made the tour.
Irwin_R, Dec 2024
Tour was more comprehensive than we expected. Kevin our tour guide was very knowledgeable and professional. He made the tour more fun by adding humor and special points of interest. This was our 3rd visit to London over past 30 yrs. but we learned more about the country's history because of this tour.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Thanks so much for your great review. I'm so glad that you enjoyed your time with Kevin so much, especially having visited London several times before. We really appreciate your booking and kind words, thankyou!

Elizabeth_C, Nov 2024
Martin was exceptional! We have a lovely tour. He was very friendly, accommodating and had expert knowledge of all things London. We especially loved his expert knowledge of the life and times of Winston Churchill. We ended the walking tour with a 90 min tour of the Churchill War Room on our own. Excellent day!
Response from Host, Dec 2024
