Dover Street / Green Park behind the scenes tour - Excellent trip with knowledgeable and informative guides delivering insights into the history of the abandoned Dover Street tube station and the current Green Park station. Excellent organisation of tour given our trip through an open and very active tube station. Great to see ‘behind the secret doors’ to areas off-limits to day-to-day travellers!

Great Insight Into A Bit of Hidden London Underground - Fascinating tour of the hidden parts of Dover Street / Green Park station. The experience was great, if a bit grimy, and the organisation was highly professional. The walkways were adequately lit, any difficult bits (like limited headroom) were pointed out, and I was impressed with the team's knowledge of the station and their delivery. I'm looking forward to another tour soon!

A journey back in time at Dover Street Underground station - Interesting hour and a quarter learning about Dover Street (now Green Park) Underground station. Fascinating exploring long-closed pedestrian passages with the old signage and wartime notices still in place. Remarkable that some of the disused passageways once housed the leadership of London Transport during the Second World War. The tour guides were extremely knowledgeable (shout out to Emily as she battled the noise of the passing trains and tannoy announcements!) and managed to keep us together as we navigated crowds between points of interest. Highly recommended tour.

Great look behind the scenes - This tour takes you behind the scenes at Green Park Station to see the former Dover Street Station. See disused connecting tunnels, which were used for other purposes after Dover Street Station closed. We also saw the air shafts for the Victoria and Jubilee lines. A fascinating tour!

Worth the walk - Never done this before so this was a first and a present to our 11 year old grandson.He scored it 7/10. As an adult we found it interesting, the guides were knowledgeable and friendly - there are a lot of briefings as you walk round. And it is "walk round" of just short of 90 minutes in dirty tunnels and spaces. is it worth it, yes - would we do another, yes.

Boring and overpriced - Not worth the money, quite boring. They show you a couple of corridors that were used by passengers in the 30s, but are still used today by the cleaners. Then you get to see a ventilation shaft, and that’s about it.
