A must for all Call the Midwife fans - What an absolutely fantastic day! Stephanie our "midwife" made the experience special for us. She was so knowledgeable and personable and really brought the tour to life with her stories and connections to the series. We walked at a gentle pace and the stops were well spaced out. Massive bonus that you can wander the docks and see the rest of the sights - it's included as part of the ticket. I've already made a start at rewatching from Series 1

Great tour, thoroughly recommend. - Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The 'midwife' tour guide, 6th September at 12.00, was knowledgeable and fun and made the tour really interesting. So much so, that I am just about to start watching series 1 all over again!!

So happy we took this tour! - The tour was delightful! My husband and I enjoyed seeing the different locations where Call the Midwife films. It was very interesting. We enjoyed and appreciated our guide as she spoke clearly and loudly enough. I can’t remember her name but she mentioned she was an extra one time on the show, she has short gray hair. Very lovely person.

Superb Tour of a fascinating location - I had been looking forward to the Call the Midwife tour travelling from the midlands & can honestly say it did not disappoint. The tour led by Helen was informative, interesting & her genuine enthusiasm in the series was evident . It was the right balance of information set amongst the very atmospheric dockyards. It has certainly made me want to start watching the early episodes again .

Slice of Docklands - Stephanie gave us a high energy, enthusiastic and very well informed tour. The pace was right, group size great and there were seats to rest and plenty of care and warnings about uneven surfaces and hazards. The site is fantastic and the catering excellent and great value. Signposting of how to access the tour could be improved as we found out only by accident we needed to register at the shop through the Docklands entrance. It would be best if the Call the midwife banner was moved to the Docklands entrance ramp. Will recommend.

Fascinating and fun, made me a fan even though not seen the show! - Bought this tour for my best friend for Christmas as she is a massive fan of the show. Despite having to travel a fair distance to get to Chatham we were not disappointed. The tour included entry to the historic dockyard, which was a bonus as it is an absolutely beautiful and interesting place to visit and we had not given ourselves enough time to explore it all. Our tour was led by a lovely lady, whose name, I am sorry, I cannot remember, but she was both extremely knowledgeable and informative. It was fascinating to see the pictures and scenes she shared of the different locations. She looked after the group as there was a mix of ages and, even though I myself have never watched the programme, I am now definitely going to binge watch it!

Nice experience - Lots of information and a good look at many of the set/scenes. The Chatham Dock Yard is well worth the visit. Note for visitors it is very slippery when wet and the tour is conducted at quite a pace.

Great day out - Our guide was very informative. Could have had more interactive set ups inside but overall very good. Extra bonus was seeing the rest of Chatham dockyard. A great day.
