You’ll check in at the main visitor’s entrance at the ticket desk to exchange your vouchers for tickets. Your gently-paced walking tour will take about 1 hour 30 minutes and will be filled with stories, taking you along roads and past slums where the TV midwives cycled and helped mums-to-be give birth.
