5.00A lot of walking , so wear a good pair of shoes or trainers, but worth it. Don't carry too much with you.
A fairly bland tour, lacking in engagement, didn’t have any of the feel good magic of the show

3.00This was a fairly bland tour with little excitement to it. As a Call The Midwife fan from way back, it was interesting but in general not very engaging, and didn’t evoke any of the Magic of the show. The props at the end were interesting and provided the “carrot” for standing around in the blazing sun for 90 minutes. Great idea but not that well executed - could have been a lot better with better props and stations set up to show how the areas had looked when the show exteriors were shot. A bit of interaction with the tour participants would have been nice, it was very dry.
This is a Call the Midwife Superfan Dream!

5.00You will have a great time, not only on the Call the Midwife Tour but at the Historic Dockyard. It was a full day of fun and I am so glad that I made the trip from the US. It seems far but we took an Uber from Euston Station in London and had a phenomenal time. The midwife was Helen and we also had a great time with the shopkeepers and other workers. Completely accurate to the show, you will be pleased with the locations and and the facts that you will learn of our beloved show. Don't miss out. I also loved the submarine, rope museum and just walking around the Dockyard. Wear your sneakers/trainers!
Disappointed

4.00Its a walking tour where a guide dressers up as a midwife. You learn mainly the trick of productions and most is see by your own imagination. Seems like most of the film is taken back to the studio. The Midwife does not go off script, so there's no room for for discussion. Did enjoy the last where props are on display.
