The tour is worth doing. Regardless of who you get to show you around.

I booked a Charlie George tour. For some reason, Charlie couldn't do it. We Got John Radford instead. My initial disappointment was short lived. John was brilliant.

After the tour was done, there was a questions and answers session in the press room. I was too in awe of this great idol from my younger days to ask him a question.

At least I got a photo of us standing together. He is a well big bastard. Made me look as short as BrazilianGooner or DB10!

Me and my dad did the legends tour with charlie george just as we did at highbury when i was 12! He is indeed a legend, tour was pretty good although out of 12 people on it 9 didnt seem to know or care who charlie was!
There was only 3 of us asking questions, not even sure the others could speak english!

I did the Highbury tour with Bob Wilson, who not only was a true gent but you could tell how much our club still means to him.

He also picked my daughter to sit alongside him at the press conference room

My Legends tour of the Emirates was with Charlie George (I got a voucher for my birthday and paid to upgrade it)

The legends tours are well worth the extra few quid, you obviously get to meet a real Arsenal legend, get a signed photo of them and if you are canny can take an item with you for them to sign too. I took my 1971 cup final programme to both tours.

They will relate personal memories of matches and events etc which you may never have heard about otherwise.

Don't hold back from asking questions - although they will not comment on individual players for example they are usually quite willing to offer their personal opinion on lots of subjects.

When I went there was 25 or so and not too many tourists that I recall.

I may well do the Emirates tour again to see the quadrouple on display !!

Done the legends tour with both Kenny and Charlie George. Would highly reccomend paying that bit extra to meet an Arsenal legend and hear all the stories about their career and the club they tell during the tour.

You can also get your picture taken with whoever does the tour and their autograph.

did a stadium tour with Charlie George a few months ago and it was brilliant. I was comparing it to the one the family did of highbury in which we didnt have a legend showing us around, and this one was so much better. Charlie gave us his opinions on the club, compared the club to when he played and also did a great question and answer in the press room at the end. Well worth the extra money as Charlie is a true gent.

Done the legends tour with Charlie George and thought it was okay! To be honest Charlie made it good, if I didn't go on the legends tour I don't think it would have been that great.

did it with CG a couple of weeks ago. He was great, the tour was disappointing.

Directors box, changing rooms, pitchside and press room. Plenty of opportunties for photos. Had a couple of one on one chats with the man as we walked round.

the strangest part is the corridor you walk through from the car park to the Armoury. I'll say no more but when you visit you'll no what I mean.

CG is definitely a rose-tinter. every player is the best we can have, no weaknesses etc.

Museum was good.

also, most on tour where tourists that didn't know who he was.
