5.00Loved the tour. We had a super guide 'midwife' who was a great presenter and took us around the Dockyard showing us where the scenes were filmed with interesting stories and antidotes from the show. The exhibition with the sets and outfits etc from the show was a real treat. Would definitely recommend for any Call the Midwife fans. Good value for money!

5.00My husband and I absolutely loved the tour. Our tour guide, Stephanie, was warm and welcoming, very informative, and clearly passionate about her role. The tour guides dressed as midwives from the 60s; a lovely touch. There were explanations given behind every setting we saw, linking them to scenes from the show. I enjoyed the little museum at the end of the tour, where you got to see the costumes used and replicas of the sets. There were gift shops and cafes too, all easily accessible. The only thing I would suggest is to thoroughly research the route beforehand. We were given a postcode that took us to a shopping area 10 minutes away, and the helpline number on our paperwork was unavailable. This could have been the booking provider which we used.
Great "behind the scenes" tour

5.00Really interesting. Very knowledgeable guide. Very engaging. Had lots of extra knowledge about the dockyard, which was really interesting as well. You do need to be a Call the Midwife fan to get the most out of it.

5.00If you are a super fan of Call the Midwife, this guided tour is incredible. Stephanie was our tour guide and she gave us such valuable insights into the magic of the show. We got to see some of the iconic outside filming locations topped off at the end by an exclusive look at mock ups of the indoor sets. Would recommend this to anyone who is super familiar with the show!

5.00Really lovely excursion Our allocated midwife Helen was lovely and very knowledgable on the site and episodes. She had a book of the locations and referenced the scene that took place there Really well organised and a chance to have photos. It was too soon to talk about Sister Monica Joan 🩷 Definitely recommended if you’re a fan

1.00Disappointing experience, tour was really short. I expected more and to learn Nonnatus House wasn't there but located somewhere else was a let down. Waste of money, I advise don't go. Also a lot of walking involved. We had a cream tea which was also rubbish.
