- Informative and interesting tour
- Fascinating story brought to life by an excellent guide
- It was totally amazing tour. Definitely worth doing.
- Friendly, helpful staff
- Tour guide very informative and made tour very enjoyable with her knowledge
- Excellent family day out.
- We were in Belfast 2 years ago, but HMS Caroline was closed. So we were delighted to find her open now. Thoroughly enjoyed the visit and the guided tour -very interesting and informative. My only suggestion would be that the introductory video on Jutland would benefit enormously from subtitles throughout - rather than just the bits in German. It's a very large, echoey location and the elderly (like me!) struggle to hear.
- We really enjoyed our tour around HMS Caroline. So much to see and learn about.
- Would loved to have seen the bridge and the captains day cabin... but it was all good, brilliant museum.
- The tour guide was most helpful and told the stories well
- Great experience. Brilliant guide and extremely intetesting
- The staff were so lovely. We were a little lost but a staff member was outside so he took us on to the ship and let us join the tour even though it had just started. The ship was fantastic and the staff are very knowledgeable.
- Many years ago, as a Sea Ranger , we spent every Monday evening on HMS Caroline. It was lovely to be back and Becca gave us an excellent commentary on the history.
- Brilliant guide
- Facility, staff, information.... Everything was great, fantastic for the kids, very interesting for the adult. Great visit
