A real treat - the tour Guides are well informed and very kindly reply to questions. There is so much history the tours are well worth undertaking. The Solar display is awesome. The tour of the Chapel is very worthwhile too.

We had a very pleasant tour of the Painted Hall, which contains the UK's "Sistine Ceiling". Our guide was Jim, a volunteer, who gave an enthusiastic , informative and clear account of the many features worthy of note within the Hall. He followed this up with another tour of the UNESCO site with a history of the area which put the buildings in Maritime Greenwich into context. Buying a standard ticket gives you access to many buildings and all of the tours.
