What to expect

If you were left spellbound by the 2017 blockbuster, 'Darkest Hour', then this is the tour for you.

You'll have the chance to repeat the experience offscreen with this London tour as you travel back to the year 1940 in a time machine which just happens to look like an iconic London black cab and doubles as a fire engine in the Second World War. Your private driver and guide, an enthusiastic war historian, will take you through the violence of 'The Blitz', let you feel the jitters as you visualize Nazi Germany threatening Western Europe and Great Britain's very existence. Follow in the footprints of Winston Churchill as you trace the turn of events from that unsettling era at Westminster and Whitehall.

To round off the tour, you can choose where to end it from Churchill War Rooms, Imperial War Museum or Warship HMS Belfast.
