Victoria Tunnel Guide

Guides undergo a comprehensive induction and training programme, and are given full support by the existing current team of Volunteer Guides.   

During tours, you’ll work in pairs to lead tours, explaining the history and heritage of the Victoria Tunnel and making a tour of it a wonderful fulfilling experience. You’ll be responsible for the health and safety of our visitors.  

There are opportunities to take part in public tours, school visits, and special events such as Sounds of the Underground and Tipple in the Tunnel.

Time required

Guides volunteer usually for 2-3 hours at a time. Tours usually last 1¼ or 2 hours and run weekdays, evenings and weekends. Guides can lead tours regularly or occasionally, and willingness to step in at short notice is very much appreciated.

We hope to see Guides on tours at least once a month.
