Call the Midwife Tour Chatham Historic Dockyard

The tour was everything we expected - informative and fun. It was useful (perhaps necessary) to have prior knowledge of the TV show. But it is difficult to imagine going on the tour unless you are a fan! Just to note also that Red Letter Day and the tour provider were both extremely helpful in the lead up to the tour in helping to resolve a ticketing issue

A brilliant gift

My son was gifted this for Christmas and he thoroughly enjoyed the experience. He learned lots of interesting facts about meerkats from the keeper and got to feed them lots of mealworms. There were some 5 week old babies which made the experience even more memorable! A unique and memorable gift for children and adults of all ages.

EXCELLENT AFTERNOON TEA!

My Daughter bought me this Afternoon Tea as a Christmas present. Upon arrival we were made so welcome and the service we received from Vivian one of the waiters was outstanding throughout. He could not do enough for us. The food was delicious and freshly made. It was well presented and all the ingredients were explained to us. I’ve had a few Afternoon Teas in London and this one is definitely in my top ten. If you are looking for an Afternoon Tea slightly different in beautiful surroundings this is one for you. I’d definitely recommend and will be returning.

Really interesting lunchtime tour!

I did the theatre tour at lunchtime on Wednesday this last week, as a belated Red Letter day (Xmas present from December 23) I was accompanied by a friend who then joined me later to see a matinee performance of The Comedy of Errors! Most enjoyable afternoon! ??????
Tour of Shakespeare's Globe for Two

Wonderful experience

We had a fascinating visit to the beautiful St Paul's Cathedral and thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent there. Views over London from the top of the dome were amazing and the architecture and richness of decoration in the building itself absolutely stunning.

A really interesting and entertaining walking tour.

Our walking guide Lindsay was an expert in all things Jack the Ripper related. We had a well managed tour with customer safety clearly observed. The content was well presented with a good mixture of information, evidence, contemporary and recent conjecture and a focus on the victims and their descendants. All delivered with both respect and humour as appropriate. Highly recommended.
