As my husband and I had both read quite a bit about WW2 and Churchill, we decided to splurged and got a guided tour with John. We felt that we would get more of the backstories, and he did not disappoint. He was fabulous, and very informative. Getting to Chartwell is not easy if you don't have a car, and him picking us up and dropping us back at the Bromley train station made the trip so doable.We will look him up again when we tour the area in the future.

My husband and I really wanted to see Chartwell. We have always been intrigued by Clemmie and Winston, and have done quite a bit of reading about that time in history. We felt that we would be best served by a private tour, and John did not disappoint! While it is definitely more expensive to take a private tour, we felt that it was well worth it the money. We were picked up at the train in Bromley, taken directly to Chartwell, given many fun stories (which we love!), and then taken back to the train to go back to London. It made what could have been a complicated trip so much easier. John is a very knowledgable and fun guide!

John was a great tour guide. Very thorough in regard to directions as to where to meet him. Constant communication. Very organized once we reached Chartwell. He knew to get there early and what order to see things so we would get the most out of our visit. We loved seeing Chartwell, but it was made more interesting because John knew many of the docents and introduced us to them. They added interesting tidbits about the home and occupants that we might not have heard otherwise. The whole property is incredibly peaceful and it is easy to understand, after being there, why Churchill loved it so much. John conducts a lot of other tours. We would certainly consider contacting him if we go back to England.

A highlight of our visit to London was the private tour we took with John to Chartwell and Hever Castle. John has a thorough knowledge of the history around Churchill and his life at Chartwell. He also provided a complete history of Hever Castle and the role of the kings and queens at that time in England's history. We were very confident with John's driving. His personable demeanor added to the very pleasurable experience of the day outside of London at beautiful Chartwell and Hever Castle. Highly recommend this tour if you are interested in Churchill and the medieval history of Hever Castle.

We are both Churchill fans and so we knew that we were in for a special day when we planned a tour of Chartwell. John’s knowledge and insights about the man and the property helped to make this tour even better than we thought. Very inspiring. We topped it off by upgrading the tour to include Hever Castle, for a real slice of Tudor history. A wise investment and a great day. David S and Sheila M, Kansas City, USA

We could not be more delighted by the private tour to Chartwell with John. He is so knowledgable and kind. Both us, parents, and our 12 y.o. son had such a lovely time. John even introduced us to some National Trust people who worked in the house, so we felt so special! So happy we found him and will definitely book some other tour with him.

The Chartwell House Tour with John is a must see. The home and memorabilia is a glimpse into Winston Churchill's remarkable personal life. The gardens, lakes and views are spectacular! I especially liked seeing his paintings in the art studio. Our tour guide, John, was amazing. I booked tours with him 5 years ago and returned for more in July. He is the best!

Chartwell was a wonderful country home to visit. So much history to comprehend. John Copeland and Chartwell’s docents made this tour memorable. Winston Churchill was brought to life and and noted important mark on history.

John was an amazing touring guide! He was so engaged the whole time and the level of knowledge he brought to the Chartwell tour was fantastic and that’s coming from someone whose dad has read probably 10 or so Churchill books! John was great to talk with as well and he was so personable. I highly recommend booking John for any tours he offers!!
