“The walking tour portion was much better than expected. Our guide was very knowledgeable. The Churchill War Rooms were overwhelming. The displays are not well matched to the audio narration. I have declining eyesight, but I’m able to read and drive, but the information cards at the bottom on the display cabinets were sometimes impossible to read. Don’t expect to read everything that is in the museum. It is a lot.”
