"Wow what more needs to be said. You need to experience the historic Dockyard"

"A great day out. I’ve been through the dockyard many times but I think this is the first time (not been for a while) we’ve had to pay for everything on one ticket. Value for money of you ask me. Really had a great day and actually ran out of time. Fortunately the ticket lasts a year and so we'll have yo come back to finish the day off. The guides are very knowledgeable so make sure you ask them the questions you have!!"

"Went on a cold rainy day in February but this did not dampen our experience of this fantastic experience. From great actors / guides aboard the HMS Warrior, to the Wow factor of the Mary Rose, there really is something for everyone. I'd also highlight the Harbour Tour as one not to miss - so much to learn. Will definitely return, making the most of our annual tickets, as so much more to see."

"The history and the knowledge of the staff is incredible. Not only do you get to see and walk on history, you have the staff that uses their knowledge to it increase your appreciation of the exhibits on display. A definite must visit for naval and history buffs."

"Amazing experience and superb value for money. We were a group of four middle aged men and loved it."
