We were gifted this experience by a relative and we had a great time. Our guide Helen was very knowledgeable and moved at a rate which was good for our group . There was a good mix about the locations history as well as about the programme and where the docks had been used. Good exhibition at the end too. Good value especially if you do an early tour as you can then stay and explore the dockyard too.
Bring the Midwife to life.

Brilliant tour around the locations where the Midwife is filmed. Our guide was dressed as a Midwife, spoke clearly and with passion. Her explanation enabled us to understand not only how the scenes were shot but how different aspects were used, such as snow. All questions were answered with care. Really excellent guide.

Not what I Expected. If it wasnt for Helen and Her Book of Pictures I Would Not Have Recognised Places From The Series. It Was Only at The End of Tour When We Went into The Building Holding The Scene That It Was Really Obvious And We Saw What I Had Been Expecting. Shame.
Wonderful!

Really interesting tour and Helen, our guide, was so knowledgable and encouraged us to ask questions. Was amazing to see the place where the series is filmed (and many other films etc too). Inspired me to go home and start watching the series again from the beginning!
