Some may argue that the Painted hall in the Old Royal Naval College (ORNC) is really the gem in the crown of this historic royal maritime campus, but I would argue that it was the cherry on top of an excellent 45-minute guided tour with Jim, our tour guide. Jim really knows how to captivate his audience with a unique combination of dry English humour and an extensive knowledge of the ORNC. Book this tour, you won't be disappointed.

Had a wonderful few hours with this tour. Our guide, Antonio, was superb. Very knowledgeable and engaging…made the whole experience top notch. As for the tour itself, we couldn’t believe the variety of films that have used the site…covering hundreds of years and even the future in Thor! ( as well as the odd Pirate). Excellent tour…would highly recommend. Thanks again Antonio….

Booked this tour on Sat 26 Nov, 12.30 as part of a friend's birthday treat. Our guide (not Kevin, but did not get his name sadly) was excellent - he was witty, knowledgeable, informative. Just the right amount of information and anecdotes. Ending the tour at the Painted Hall was a treat. Great to be led by someone so enthusiastic about the buildings and history of Greenwich.

This tour was so fun, I attended on a slower day and wound up with basically a personal tour with Kevin and Steve. They shared a lot of quirky anecdotes from the various productions the place has hosted--and it is so many! They had a book of photos to assist in sharing how the place was transformed for the various shoots too. They even shared a couple places not in that pre-made binder based on my own movie interests they got from us talking. Definitely recommend this tour to any movie/tv fan. I've already spotted the ORNC in two new shows since returning home!

An excellent tour and right up my street as a film and TV drama aficionado. Mike and Kevin were a great double-act and had a wealth of stories and gossip from their experiences of this extraordinary location as a movie set. The tour takes in lots of film locations, as you would expect, with Mike (on this particular trip) having his photo album to hand so we could compare the locations with their 'roles' in the films. Kevin was always ready to provide his perspective as a background artist on a number of shoots. It really was the gift that kept on giving as we checked out a few of the movies shot here on the plane home. Thoroughly recommended to anyone with any interest in filmmaking and an absolute must for fanboys like me!

Kevin and his partner were very knowledgeable and friendly. They provided a 5* tour with all you’d expect and more. A lot of interesting trivia of both history and film making.

The Painted Hall was the highlight of the tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed his personal anecdotes.

A really interesting tour of the Naval College and it’s various buildings and how they have been used throughout the years by film and Television to create memorable scenes. The two ladies who took us (Sue & Isabel) around the grounds were very welcoming, knowledgeable and enthusiastic and made the experience feel very personal. Would highly recommend to anyone who is interested in film.

This tour is absolutely amazing! The guide explains in detail all sort of movies and series filmed in the grounds of the Old Royal naval college. Recommended!!

A wonderfully amusing tour, which was heightened by our brilliant tour guides Bob and Kevin. The two gentlemen brought personality to the tour, often sharing personal experience as extras and knowledge of the locations themselves. As a student of film it was lovely to walk the grounds and be explained how the College balanced the historical preservation while allowing filmmakers to create their visions. Again bravo to Bob and Kevin. Top notch!
