One of the best museum experiences we’ve ever had! When my partner heard the guided tour would last an hour and a half, he protested, convinced it wouldn’t interest him (since this visit was my idea!😂). He couldn’t have been more wrong. The guide was outstanding, bringing the past to life as the lives of the people who lived in the house.
What made the tour truly special was the way it highlighted the impact of social reform and the welfare state, shaping the UK and Europe over the past 150 years, remarking the class issue, which I loved. The depth of research behind the exhibition is remarkable, and you can feel it. this a must-visit if you're in town.
Be sure to book a few days in advance—it gets busy!

What a fascinating place to visit. Richard, our guide, made the buildings come alive. It was so interesting to see how people in 3 different time periods lived. A lovely look into life in the past. We are from 🇨🇦 with English roots so we could imagine our family living in this style. Thank you National Trust for preserving these.

Went to the Back2Backs on Sunday and had a very informative and enjoyable visit. Didn't really know what to expect as it isn't a typical NT property but this was probably my favourite NT property visit to date. The name of our tour-guide escapes me but he was a he was very knowledge, engaging and friendly chap. - kudos to him.

I’ve been twice and I’m looking forward to the fact we’re having visitors - so we can take them. It’s an incredible piece of Brummie history. If you can, visit.

My friend and I visited the back to back’s today. We both lived in back to backs (called slums) years ago.although our tiny home was spotless.
Our guide Joan was absolutely amazing, very knowledgeable and we both enjoyed our tour very much
Thank you for a great day.

El guia (George, creo recordar) fue fantástico. Incluso sin entender muy bien el idioma hizo de la visita una experiencia genial. Lo recomiendo

Followed their instructions re arcadia parking despite Sunday, and could probably have found free street parking! Only pre booked tickets. ( Nb - if it's raining, lots of cancellations come in from NT members- so you might be able to get last minute tickets!) Guided tours only. Lots of narrow windy stairs up and down as you were through 4 properties. But there are chairs in every room to sit on which is fab. Bucket list NT property ticked off. There are toilets and small waiting area for tours(or the 2nd hand book shop) but no cafe. Currently great exhibition upstairs re history of social housing that was fab.

We went as a group of 7 and had a brilliant tour. Anne, our guide, gave us a fabulous insight into life in these houses. We learnt of families who lived there in different time periods. A wonderful experience we would thoroughly recommend.

Great museum, would recommend going earlier in the day during winter as the light falls and you can appreciate it the same way as parts are unlit.

John, our guide, made the history of these buildings real to our group by having us become 'people of the time', residents of those homes. Amazing experience and one we would recommend to anyone visiting Birmingham.

Great tour. Knowledgeable staff. Engaging and humorous, good with the kids. Great that these houses were saved and can now provide an important snapshot into Birmingham's history before it became the disaster it is now.

Thanks to our guide Annette for making this such an interesting visit .The back to backs take us back in time and thru several different eras teaching us about the life and hardships of generations before us. Annette made it so interesting with personal stories and the history of the people who had lived there . A real national trust gem.
