HMS Victory

Simply spine-tingling to walk the deck of nelson's flagship and stand where the great man fell. the audio guide provides a great balance of factual information and atmosphere. we're not particularly into maritime matters but this was terrific.

It's fascinating to see this incredible piece of history, and it's beautifully presented with an optional audio guide that i recommend for taking you on an immersive tour of the battle of trafalgar and what life on board would have been like. the victory is currently undergoing a major renovation project that takes away a lot of the external views, but the inside of the ship is still open.

Wow! the audio commentary really brought this historic ship to life, telling the impressive story of the battle of trafalgar and nelson's demise. it's extremely well preserved and well presented, but is currently undergoing some restoration work. as a historic ship, it's not suitable for anyone who has difficulty with steps. it is also important to realise that in some places, headroom is very low. expect to bang your head! but it's absolutely worth it.

Brilliant. even though the ship was under restoration and covered, there was still plenty to see inside and underneath. when you get through the ticket desk next to the ship, make sure you borrow the portable information speakers. these were excellent and not only provided lots of interesting information about the ship and its history but also gave narration of a piece of history, emotion & ambience to the tour. i found myself eagerly seeking out the next 'click' point to get the next piece of the story. my whole family (mother, wife, son (12) & daughter (15) absolutely loved it. we will be back soon to use our explorer ticket & see more of the dock yard sites. i didn't take any pictures during the tour as i was too busy enjoying it!!

Great attraction. worth a visit. at the moment it's having a lot of work done on the exterior. it does have an affect on the experience but the work is completely necessary. they have a audio "experience" that pretty much talks about the journey that lord nelson had sailing to meet the spanish armada from start to finish. i will say look around the amount of people who was paying no attention to there surroundings because the where wrapped up in the story.
