It’s time to go back to the 1940s. Big Ben no longer sounds. Air raid sirens are the norm. German bombing raids come under cover of darkness. The population lives with rations and restrictions. Many Brits lay down their lives in Europe and beyond.
With your local expert guide, you will keep calm and carry on, learning about the British resolve and getting the inside scoop on the truth behind Westminster in wartime on this walking tour past important monuments like the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, the Cenotaph, Ministry of War, 10 Downing Street and Whitehall.
After your small group experience, bid your new-found friend and guide a fond farewell to descend into the War Rooms. At your own pace, discover the miles of strategic bunkers where Winston Churchill and his cabinet were to conduct their part in WW2. This unforgettable location is frozen in time and ready to be discovered once again.

We got there and asked...

2.00We got there and asked for the listening devices. The guide stated the company does not provide them. Feels it is less personal. For us, rough translation, they don’t want to pay for them. Way too much time wasted walking to the next location with no communication. Opportunity missed. Not the tour guide‘s fault. Probably one of the most unenjoyable tours I’ve ever been on. I felt like I was back in the eighth grade taking my end of year final in history. The guide wasted so much time asking the participants a question and waiting for the answer. This was not a test. This was supposed to be a guided tour. When we got to the end of the tour, she stated there was so much that we didn’t have time to discuss. Had we not wasted so much time having her ask a question and then wait for people to answer. Not enjoyable at all.
Exceptional tour

5.00Jeremy was an excellent guide. He was polite, incredibly informative and patient with all of our questions. He shared a lot of history around the area we were in Waterloo If you are debating to take this tour it is 100% well worth the money. We were very pleased with the experience. There is a lovely water preserve across the way after to exit the exhibit and you can see swans and lots of other unique birds.
One of the most well done...

5.00Nathan was an amazing wealth of knowledge, excellent orator! Loved he would answer questions in between stops, he was very cognizant of the flow of traffic and people around us, have very clear instructions. He really hit home the value of this historical period. Great tour 12/10 would do again.
Wonderful Experience
