Traveler reviews
Mark Heselwood (Whaley Radio)
★★★★★3 months agoScott our tour guide was excellent. His knowledge of the set and stories was brilliant. Very funny man. The tour itself is highly recommended. I’m disabled and managed to get around with my walker (even if I was a bit slow)

★★★★★Edited 4 months agoKatie was a lovely tour guide during our visit. Very informative. I really enjoyed my time here after watching since I was a young child with my mum in the early 1960s. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys this show.
