Overview

From the 7th September 1940 to the 11th May 1941, London suffered under continual aerial bombardment from the German Luftwaffe the like of which the world had never before seen and fortunately rarely has since.  It was known as The Blitz and the face of London was changed forever as well as the character of Londoners too.  Whilst much has changed in the intervening years, there are still reminders of these dark days. Join us on this very special private tour which will take you to places that big group and bus tours could never hope to go.

A trip back in time

Kevin met me at my hotel and showed me many historical sites. The entire tour is walking or using the "tube" London is a walking city. From the first anti air craft gun to St. Paul's Cathedral to the Churchill War Rooms Kevin gave expert historical perspective that only a Londoner could provide. It was a fascinating historical experience. If you like history- especially WW2 this is a great tour. When I return to London I look forward to another tour with Kevin.

We're scheduled for the WW2 Blitz tour, but since it was our first time in London, and we had the time, Kevin (our fantastic guide) customized our tour to fit in both the Blitz tour, along with any additional history he could fit in. His knowledge of the city is spectacular. Kevin blends both traditional historical spots with interesting, less know spots. I recommend taking a tour early in your trip so you can appreciate all the additional insight a tour like this gives you. Kevin really seemed to love what he does, and it made the tour that much more enjoyable. I highly recommend taking this tour, and any other tour that Kevin does.
