Joanne Moussa: Take the guided tour inside the hall, great story to learn! If you're lucky enough, you'll get to hear a live rehearsal as well!
Yarn Lam: Try their different tours other than the Grand Tour. Went on a special Behind the Scenes tour and got to look at the bowels of the RAH. Guide Christie was wonderful and accommodating.
Karen: Amazing hall. Just amazing. The tour is well worth the cost. The tour guide was so knowledgeable and funny.
Dot Wonder: worth the expense to do the private evening tour
Amanda Y: The audio tour was absolutely worth it. You get to see where Prince George was baptized and where the royal couples got their wedding photos taken.
George Kyriakos: If here on a tour, it makes sense to retain your ticket for a free 1-year re-entry. There is a different exhibition every year. The palace itself is also very interesting and can spend 2 hours there
