Great way to spend the afternoon. Allowed us to concentrate on specifics and not get hung up. Your guide was very knowledgeable and would highly recommend Warren.
Guide Warren had a great understanding of the history and details of the Warroom and presented the information in a interesting and concise manner
Thanks so much for your 5* review John. It was a pleasure to meet you both and guide you through the Churchill War Rooms and Museum.
