5.00Me and my friend (UK) went on the guided tour with Allen and it was FANTASTIC from start to finish. The tour was our favourite thing we did on the trip and we were very sad when it came to an end. We cannot stress how engaging, knowledgeable and fun Allen was and we most definitely learnt a lot about the rich history of the institute. Thank you so very much for this incredible experience!
Thank you Allen!!!

5.00Anya and myself (chelsea) had Allen today as our tour guide. Allen was sooooo much fun! He was very informative and made the tour really fun & exciting. We all had a really good laugh throughout as well as still being serious when informing us of the different eras and buildings. Allen also had a shadower alongside called Yan (im not sure of spelling so i apologise!) Awwww thank you so much we had a lovely time.

4.00Took the tour on a freezing cold January afternoon. Our tour guide was Allen who was great, and was able to articulate the information perfectly well. The tour took 3 hours. There were parts of the tour that perhaps could have been sped up, but I say this because of the weather only… I’m sure if it was just a few degrees warmer I wouldn’t say this. The abonded cemetery had some construction works going on and was extremely icy underfoot so couldn’t explore properly, but I appreciate once the construction works are complete and the ice has melted this will be much better. The buildings particularly are fascinating and I loved how eerie everything was in the fog, snow and ice.
Great tour

5.00Allen was great, with amazing knowledge and friendly. Me and my friend enjoyed it even if it was freezing cold. Couldn't believe it was still in operation as a hospital
Super cool tour
