• Tom and I were invited on a tour of the Royal Yacht Britannia to review for a <a href="http://www.attractiontix.co.uk/blog/2014/12/12/christmassy-days-out-uk/">guide on the most Christmassy days out for the attractiontix blog</a>.

• We were each handed audio guides which looked like giant retro mobile phones as we made our way on board and began the tour.
• The tour began on the top deck where we got to explore the bridge, look at shiny equipment and pretend to be the captain.
• 
• We then made our way along the deck, passing by the Queen's Rolls Royce which had to have it's bumpers removed to fit onto the yacht.
• 
• 
• The Royal Quarters were simple but cozy and we were surprised to see that the Queen and Prince Philip had individual rooms with single beds.
• 
• The highlight of our tour was tea and cake in the gorgeous glass tearoom with views over the water. I had lemon drizzle cake which was made in the yacht's galley and the cappuccinos came dusted with cocoa Britannia's.
• 
• After tea, we headed down into the yacht to see the formal dining rooms, lounges and offices.
• 
• The most fun was to be had down in the crew's quarters where you could dress up in sailor uniforms and pretend to pull a pint in the officer's mess.

• Though the tour wasn't a traditional Christmas activity, afternoon tea onboard would make a great gift for a friend.
