A must for all Call the Midwife fans - We were very lucky to be the only 3 people on our tour today and we had a brilliant guide in Stephanie. She was very knowledgeable, a great story teller and we couldn’t have asked for more. We learnt some interesting behind the scenes facts and the gallery at the end was also great. As a bonus, the tour also includes entry to the dockyard for the day. Highly recommended for all CtM fans

Call the Midwife Fantastic Tour - We had been planning for ages to do the Call the Midwife Tour. It did not let us down! Fabulous guide dressed in character. Who was able to answer any questions we had. The scene locations were fabulous to see. But the set display and costumes was unbelievable. Amazing tour for any fan of the show. Thank You for a fantastic day. A lot of walking & standing, so make sure you do not over do the pre historic dockyard sites.

Amazing experience - We had a fantastic time on our tour. Helen our tour guide was very good and so informative. It was very interesting to see where scenes were filmed. But be warned it’s not all filmed there. The length of tour was just right the little gift shops were good. I’m always worried about visiting film places as it can ruin it but watching the shows again I can understand where it was filmed and how.

Such a fun and memorable tour! All CTM fans should experience it! - Such a wonderful experience! Our guide was so knowledgeable and really brought the spaces we visited to life. Often, on film location tours, it can take the magic out of the show or movie you love so much. Not at all with the Call the Midwife tour! The visuals and explanations offered by our guide helped us to appreciate the magic even more. The price of admission matched what we got to experience, and the time we had to complete the tour was perfect. As for the size of the crowd, it was an enjoyable small-group experience.

Waste of time and money - Total waste of time and money!!!
No Nonatis house, no clinic no drs surgery just old brick walls which could be anywhere. The “props” display was so small we were in and out in about 90 seconds.
Thank goodness we could look around the dockyard.
