5.00Irene was a terrific tour guide. We saw all sorts of filming locations they cleverly used to film different settings, seasons, etc. she made the whole thing incredibly interesting and eye opening as to the trickery the cameras use to make us think we’re seeing one thing when something else was actually happening. It was well worth the short train ride from London during our trip. There are also lots of ships on the site that you can visit and some were even used in the show. Highly recommend to anyone who’s seen the show or enjoys the time period.
