- Review from Viator
5.00The self guided audio tour was very informative and gives you a glimpse into the Royal Life. I enjoyed being able to go at my own pace and viewing authentic furnishings throughout the yacht. We did experience a little difficulty at the ticket booth, the management recommended the tickets be reserved under the purchasers name, our tickets were under the name of the company providing the tickets via Viator.
