5.00Guy was great - kept my 10 and 14 yo boys engaged along with the grownups. He was friendly, approachable, and knew his stuff. And he presented all of the info in an entertaining and enthusiastic way. If you are interested in WWII history, not to be missed. He was the best tour guide I’ve ever had!

5.00The first thing my wife said to me was "Guy is hands down the best tour guide we've ever had". I readily agreed. I could go on for some time describing with superlatives how great he was with our 11 and 14 year-old boys. For the group as a whole, you couldn't find a better guide anywhere when it came to his vast knowledge of every stop along the way. Within the actual Churchill War Rooms, his enthusiasm was only matched by his natural & friendly delivery - he obviously has done his homework. Guy could not have been more charming, professional, energetic in just the right way, and totally passionate about what he does. If the bosses of Babylon Tours are reading this, respectfully, you aren't paying this "Guy" enough and he deserves a $$ raise. 😉 5 stars and time incredibly well spent. Thanks Guy!
Worth it! I’d do it again

5.00Absolutely amazing and worth! Guy was very knowledgeable and funny. He really added to the experience and I learned a lot more than I would have walking through by myself with the museum’s materials. He was also a great resource to have questions answered.
Enthusiastic guide

5.00Guy was a great tour guide. He’s fairly young but very smart and quirky, which made the tour really enjoyable. He was extremely thorough and clearly enthusiastic about the history he was explaining. His storytelling style had a very classic, almost fancy English way of presenting things that made it engaging and memorable. At several points other tour groups even stopped nearby to listen because of how interesting and enthusiastic his explanations were. Overall, a really enjoyable and well-delivered tour.
Not just a tour but a Winston Churchill Experience!

5.00Andy was AMAZING!!!!! I swear I could have spent hours hanging on to his every word. He’s a fabulous storyteller. He’s incredibly engaging, beyond knowledgeable, he brings to life what he is sharing and gives so much information to you in such a short period of time. I swear if I didn’t know better I would believe he personally knew Churchill. I hope to come back with my husband, in the next year or so, and if I do, we will do this again because I want him to experience this tour with Andy.
A MUST tour for WWII History Fans!

5.00Dont miss this tour if you love WWII history! Great experience to see where Churchill masterminded the success of the WWII while hiding underground when he was in London. AmaZing that they left so many artifacts in the rooms when the war ended.
Like Being There in May, 1940

5.00My wife and I thought that our guide, Jamie, was wonderful. He had plenty of facts and stories and knew about every person who played a role in that time period of early WWII, along with critical dates to every relevant event. Jamie also carried an Apple IPad on which he would bring of pictures of historic people and events surrounding Churchill's life and his role in convincing his opponents in Parliament (and the King) that England would have to fight Hitler, as opposed to negotiating with him. Jamie made the tour lively and fun and 4 hours went in a flash.
