5.00First, a thank you to Sheldon and our group for their patience. We were “that” couple arriving late due to London traffic. Sheldon was a very knowledgeable guide and we enjoyed his perspective on Churchill’s role in British history. This is a must-see during your London exploration. And Sheldon was a great guide who did a marvelous job staying focused. Highly recommend!

5.00Our tour guide Guy was exceptional! He exuded passion and confidence that demanded our attention, which is quite fitting for a tour about Winston Churchill. If you find yourself in London, the war rooms are a must see. We ended the day with the comedic production of Operation Mincemeat, which felt like the perfect way to wrap up this chapter in history.
Worth the time!
