Guided Tours

We recommend that all education groups choose to take up the offer of a free guided tour. This will further enhance your trip and really bring the visit to life! Tours are suitable for all ages and abilities as the tour guide will adapt the style and content to fulfil the individual needs of the group.

The advised maximum group size for a guided tour is 30 children. Larger groups will be divided into more manageable numbers for guided tours. We recommend that you allow at least one to one and a half hours for your visit.
