The exhibition will be under maintenance for quite some time. Simon our tour guide was exceptional. He was extremely knowledgeable and always open to questions. It was good going during off peak, it felt like a more personalised experience.

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.

What an impressing Monument! The various decks are so crammed it feels like crawling. imagine THAT amongst all these stinking sweating bodies it must have been swimming hell. Now imagine the lesser ships ...did they use wooden cannons? (See pic)

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.

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!!

One of a kind experience and ship. Unique to see the keel and rudder from the drydock floor. A decades long restoration project underway. Original furniture in some areas. Helpful staff to teach you about the history..

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.

Currently a superb time to visit.Restoration ongoing with excellent view of the work being done. No guided tours, just free to wander about, and the new chance to go beneath the keel.(Dockyard Explorer ticket the best value. You can't do the dockyard, Alliance, Explosion etc. in a day.)

Beautiful ship with lots of history. I recommend doing all attractions to get your values worth. These photos are a combination of HMS Victory and Warrior.

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."
