Amazing piece of history. Digital audio guides are given so you can scan each area and really understand the history of this ship. So see the plaque on the floor where Nelson was shot was a sight to see. So professional, clean and incredible. Only point to add, there is little headroom so be prepared to walk with your head tilted.

Well worth the trip, this old ship is fascinating, and the optional headphones and speakers are a must, rather than ask the many assistants on board what certain things do or how they work the headphones guide you around the entire vessel and answer most of your questions, Nelsons plaque would have been easy to miss if the headset hadn't pointed it out. All in all a very interesting and worthwhile trip, yes I will be returning.
