We had an amazing tour with Jamie. From the very beginning when we met him at the Churchill statue to the very end, he was a wealth of knowledge and kept us all engaged. Even my 15 year old son said it was a great tour. We learned so much about Churchill and Jamie patiently answered all of our questions except for one which he told me was my homework 😊 Overall it was a great way to explore the War Rooms. I would definitely recommend this tour and ask for Jamie!

Enjoyable and informative from a very smart guy. Churchill didn’t need 100 characters to lionize the fighter pilots in the raf, I don’t need to blather on about what a terrific guide Laurence was.
Great war room tour

Small group was great; corridors very narrow so a larger group would have been difficult. Amazing to see the spaces these people you only read about worked in under difficult conditions

Lawrence was timely, knowledgeable and humorous. I highly recommend this tour. He was full of tidbit info that a tourist would not normally get on his/ her own.
