Winston Churchill og London i Anden Verdenskrigs vandretur
Beskrivelse
Det er tid til at gå tilbage til 1940'erne. Big Ben lyder ikke længere. Luftangrebssirener er normen. Tyske bombetogter kommer i ly af mørket. Befolkningen lever med rationer og restriktioner. Mange briter sætter deres liv i Europa og udenfor. Med din lokale ekspertguide vil du bevare roen og fortsætte, lære om briternes beslutsomhed og få den indvendige scoop om sandheden bag Westminster i krigstid på denne vandretur forbi vores vigtigste monumenter - Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Cenotaph , Ministry of War, 10 Downing Street og Whitehall. Turen slutter uden for Churchill's War Rooms, de strategiske krigsrumsbunkere, hvorfra Winston Churchill og kabinettet skulle gennemføre deres del af 2. verdenskrig - fastfrosset i tide og klar til at blive opdaget igen.

Rejseplan
Malet grønt til underhuset, besøg broen, hvor WW2-bomber stadig er opdaget den dag i dag. Besøgte udenfor
Til minde om "The Few" mod, kan du opleve, hvordan RAF-piloter forsvarede Storbritannien mod ubarmhjertige Luftwaffe-angreb i sommeren 1940 og sikre en afgørende sejr i himlen over London. Besøgte udenfor.
På Storbritanniens nationale krigsmindesmærke kan du høre, hvordan nationen sørgede over sine faldne efter Første Verdenskrig og fortsætter med at ære dem, der har tjent og ofret i konflikter siden. Besøgt udenfor
Oplev, hvordan millioner holdt Storbritannien i gang under krigen – fra fabrikker og gårde til efterretningstjenester og militær støtte. Besøgte udenfor.
Hjem til Forsvarsministeriet spillede Whitehall en nøglerolle i dramaet om 2. Verdenskrig. Besøg både Cenotaph og Women in WW2-monumenter for at vise din respekt til de modige mænd og kvinder, der satte deres liv til for vores frihed. Besøg udenfor
Med statuer af ikoner fra Mahatma Gandhi og Millicent Fawcett til Honest Abe fejrer dette torv demokrati i alle dets former - noget der aldrig har været så vigtigt som gennem Anden Verdenskrigs mørke dage. Besøg udenfor
Som centrum for den britiske regering kan du høre, hvordan parlamentet reagerede på den truende trussel fra Det Tredje Rige, da klokken fra Big Ben blev stille, og Luftwaffes fly fyldte himlen over London. Besøgte udenfor.
Dette svingende kompleks af underjordiske kontorer blev epicentret for regeringens krigsindsats, da de kæmpede for at redde Storbritannien fra invasion. Vi anbefaler stærkt at reservere entré til Churchill War Rooms for et nedsænkende dyk i brugen af dette udbredte kompleks under 2. verdenskrig. Din gåtur med os vil ende på 10: 30 am eller 3: 00 pm lige uden for indgangen.

Jeremy was amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed his commentary and information. We would highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in this time frame! He was very aware of keeping his guests comfortable in the shade and walking at a comfortable pace.
The tour lasted for about 1.5 hours and was informative. Our guide, Pepe, did a nice job of showing us the sites and photos. Note, that this experience is a tour that begins at Parliament and ends at the entrance to the War Room. If you don't add the tickets for the War Room, then you don't get to see those. While our guide did a good job, we would skip the tour and simply buy tickets to the War Room.
There’s a lot of standing but the information was good. Bit hard to hear above the traffic- maybe consider using box boxes.
As Sheldon gave us a glance over his glasses, he brilliantly and passionately executed a wonderful tour. It was fast-paced and incredibly informative regarding Churchill as well as World War 2 London. He gave the background into the humanity of Churchill. The war rooms are very small and cramped but did not get in the way of our tour. Heck, even my wife who said she had zero interest in the topic was captivated!
Best activity so far! We took a walking tour of London during WW 2 and then the Churchill War museum. Our guide, Jeremy, was very knowledgeable and interspersed his tour with pictures and humor. The was room was excellent and allowed you to go at your own pace. Even though it was a bit crowded, it was very enjoyable.
The guide Nathan was the the best guide I have ever had on any tour in my life. He was an INCREDIBLE storyteller and really made the day. I highly suggest taking his tour.
Nathan was an excellent guide. He was very thorough yet also displayed wit and wisdom. His walking tour of the area and the time setting really prepared me for the museum.
Great insights into history that many people may not know. Nathan our guide was very passionate about the subject.
