Tours are of approximately one and three quarter hours duration.
Much of the tour is 'outside', i.e. in the grounds of the Barracks, but the tour includes a visit to the War Cabinet Room. Most of the guides are former military members who served some of their military career in the Barracks. All are volunteers, keen to share their knowledge of the social history of the Barracks with visitors. There are some 'rules' which must be adhered to. Photography is permitted outside, but not inside the buildings.
