Kate was on time and friendly from the start. She reviewed what we would see and how our time would be used. She achieved two objectives: to humanize Churchill and to overview the losses and challenges of Londoners during WW 2. Couldn’t ask more from a tour guide!! Would recommend her to any of my friends interested in a walking tour.

Excellent. Kate was amazing as a guide. She knew Churchill very well, both his personal life and his achievements. We felt we knew Churchill personally as well after the tour.

Our guide Suzan’s was very friendly and very knowledgeable. The walk (longer than anticipated) was quite interesting as to personal aspects of Churchill. At the end of the walk we arrived at The Churchill Underground War Rooms. They are a fascinating and informative presentation as to how the British waged WWII. The rooms are extensive and require much time to view and absorb all that is there.

Will was a great tour guide! Very personable and shared so many interesting stories and facts. Felt like we were family learning about his favorite places in London. He gave great instructions before leaving us at the war room. The mini tour prior to the war rooms was excellent! Highly recommend him!

This tour was fantastic and Stephen was great. We did this tour the day we arrived and it was a great way to see some of the city, learn about London - and specifically Churchill, and set up for the rest of our trip. Definitely would recommend and take other tours with Walks.
