Walkative was established in 2007 by a group of young enthusiasts who also happened to be licensed tour guides. Today, we operate in 20 cities in countries across all of Europe and beyond, including France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Ukraine and Israel. We have already guided more than 3 million tourists, with more than 350 000 in 2023 only! Despite this growth, we stay true to our values: be local and present the history of our cities in a professional, yet entertaining way, accessible for everybody, regardless their budget. We provide service not only in big, well established places like Berlin, Paris or Krakow, but also smaller, less known, yet no less fascinating locations, like Nice, Toruń or Lublin. We cooperate with highly trained, professional guides providing both engaging tip-based and regular fixed-price tours. And most importantly - we know our cities by heart! Join us and stay Walkative!
Explore London's wartime history on our London At War tour. Discover how this small island's capital became a military powerhouse, delving into the history of the British Empire, WWII, and the Cold War.
Starting at the Palace of Westminster and walking through the Mall and Whitehall we will first learn about the British Empire's conflicts, establishment of concentration camps in South Africa, and hear T.E. Lawrence's, famous Lawrence from Arabia, life story. Then we will delve into WWII, see Blitz damage, and discuss the decisions made in Churchill’s War Rooms. We will pay our respects at the Cenotaph and the Battle of Britain Monument and finally uncover the Cambridge Spy Ring’s secrets at St Ermin’s Hotel.
Join us to see iconic WWII sites, hidden memorials, but most of all understand London’s role in global conflicts.
During the 2 h 45 min tour you will see and discover:
Burghers of Calais Statue in Victoria Tower Gardens South Park, right by Parliament - look for the guide with a yellow umbrella!
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
