Dawn was a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable and kept us entertained. Enjoyed looking through the museum. Also must give restaurant 10/10. Great food and very reasonably priced.

Despite the unseasonable April chill it was an excellent and informative tour ( 28 April - 11.30am) lasting around 90 minutes with a friendly and knowledgeable guide. We saw many locations remembered from the series and learnt interesting facts about the filming. The tour also included a viewing of various props from the series. Excellent, well worth it.

Irene, our tour guide, was very informative. She had an excellent knowledge of Call the Midwives and could answer all the questions we asked. However, this tour lacked substance. It consisted of standing between the buildings looking at the brick walls and imagining the scenes from certain episodes. I understand this is a filming location and is used for various other businesses when there is no filming, but for this reason there wasn't a lot to see. There were many places where, we were told, "up there is the house used for.... but we can't go in". The little museum was nice with it's collection of artefacts from the program but on the whole I thought this tour was expensive for what it was.

Wonderful guide who was enthusiastic and interesting tour of the locations of filming various episodes of Call the midwife. However it was £40 per adult and I thought there would be more - I think £25 per adult would have felt more reasonable for the 1.5 hour walking tour. There was an interesting exhibition of costumes and settings eg shop, dining table laid out etc and the doll of baby Susan. All interesting - if you are a real fan this is for you but it's too expensive

Excellent day had by us. The tour alone was really good. The extras around the docks exploring all the ships, the history in docks was superb. The ropery. The whole day was well worth a trip.

Really interesting tour and was great to see all the locations, but what made it fabulous was the knowledge of the tour guide. She delivered with confidence and humour. Well done! 😊

I done this as a treat for my mum for Mother’s Day , we were both quite disappointed , the majority of the tour involved walking around outside looking at buildings, there was no props so it was hard to visualise or even recognise the building were some scenes took place and the tour guide took us around telling us about things that have happened in call the midwife which we already knew as we have watched every episode. Towards the end the guide takes you in a building were you get to see props , like the shop , their uniforms and pushchairs it took about 5 minutes to look around but I guess that was the best bit about the hour and half . We both felt this was definitely over priced for just looking at the outside of buildings .

Booked the tour for my partner who is a big fan, have to say what a great tour very interesting and informative. I'm not an avid fan just watch the occassional episode but never the less the tour was excellent the guide who did the tour Janice was excellent she the made it very interesting and informative, I would definately recommend the tour and if you have time explore the docks lots to see and do and its included in the midwife tour ticket all in all a great day out.
