Frequently asked questions

Q: Where can I park?

A: We start these tours at 1815 to take advantage of free car parking on some of the streets of Southampton after 1800 hours on weekdays. There is paid, on-street car parking on Palmerston Road, between Houndwell and Hoglands Park. The tour meets at the Bargate which is just a couple of minutes walk away

Q: Do I need to bring anything with me?

A: No, but please do dress appropriately for a walking tour. A small torch might be useful if it will be dark during some or all of your tour

Q: Does the tour start and finish at the same point?

A: It starts at the Bargate and normally finishes a little further down the High Street (depending on which vaults we visit). Our guide, usually wearing a red SEE Southampton jacket, will meet you under the arch of the Bargate for a prompt 6.15pm start

Q: Can I take photographs?

A: Yes, photographs are allowed throughout the tour

Q: Will I be sent more details about the meeting time and meeting point once I have booked?

A: Yes. We normally email you a few days before each tour to reconfirm the meeting point and time. If you have any queries in the meantime, please do email hello@experiencehampshire.uk

Q: What happens in the event of bad weather?

A: We try not to cancel these tours unless the forecast is really heavy persistent rain, heavy snow and/or high winds. If the weather isn't looking great, please do wrap up warm and make sure you have a waterproof/windproof layer on

Q: Where can I see reviews about this tour?

A: Please use this link to view reviews about this tour and our other experiences - https://g.page/r/CVrG5ijLGh3lEAE/review

Q: Is this walk suitable for those who have limited mobility, use a 'walker' or who are on crutches?

A: I am afraid that because of the nature of this tour (visiting underground vaults built many centuries ago) that it is NOT suitable for those who have mobility issues - sorry

Q: Are children able to join this tour?

A: Youngsters are more than welcome although, it is a 2 hour tour with a good amount of history to absorb. There is only one ticket price, so no reduction for children - sorry

Q: I have another question. Can you help please?

A: Of course! Whilst we are essentially a tech business, we have a small, friendly team behind the scenes just ready to answer any questions that you have. Just email them on hello@experiencehampshire.uk
