Overview

Needless to say that as it is an old lady of the sea the doorways and some of the turns are very tight. They do have some wheelchairs there that you can swap over to for the tour. If in doubt ask them to measure your chair so as to save getting stuck going around. The tour is explained to you via a telephone shaped device that explains where you are and a bit of in depth information about that part of the yacht. There is a tearoom about half way around but as my friends and I never went in due to the length of the queue I can't comment on it. It is an interesting tour, if you want like that sort of thing, consisting of a lot of looking and listening. I would not recommend this tour for anyone who is concidering walking around who has mobility problems. It is a long walk and I spent a lot of time looking for somewhere to sit and rest. Her Majesty has a lot of furniture with nice soft arms on them. I will say that I enjoyed the tour being ex-forces and having heard lots of stories about the yacht.

As I said in my review earlier I have Would not class it as wheelchair friendly.

Toilets

3

I did not see a disabled toilet but wasn't looking for one as I used one in the center before going on board. I would surgest looking at their website or calling to get any questions answered.
