    Interesting excursion, can be long or short depending on your interests

    Having been on the Queen Mary 2 and met 2 former crew from QM we were interested to see where they worked and how the QM looked. It was interesting and some great history. We learned a few things and enjoyed the historical tour. The guide was quite knowledgeable and easy to hear and understand.

    Maybe another time

    There were other events going on in the area. We couldn't park in the lot and had to park somewhere else, 10 minutes away, then get shuttle back to the tour. Needless to say we missed 15 minutes of the tour.

    Queen Mary Glory Days Historical Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Long Beach.

    How much does Queen Mary Glory Days Historical Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Long Beach usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Queen Mary Glory Days Historical Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Long Beach is not rushed.

    Is Queen Mary Glory Days Historical Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 113 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Long Beach, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Queen Mary Glory Days Historical Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Queen Mary Glory Days Historical Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Queen Mary Glory Days Historical Tour?

    +

    Around 40 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Long Beach can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Long Beach and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Queen Mary Glory Days Historical Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Long Beach within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Long Beach?

    +

    Long Beach runs whale watching out of Rainbow Harbor, Queen Mary tours and ghost walks, harbour cruises, Catalina ferry connections and coastal bike rides. On Outty we rank every Long Beach experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guided Whale Watching Tour from Long Beach, Skip the Ticketing Line: Aquarium of the Pacific General Admission Ticket, Shared 8-Hour Los Angeles City Sightseeing Tour from Long Beach. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Long Beach?

    +

    Year-round whale watching; May to October for the best harbour weather. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Long Beach?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Queen Mary Glory Days Historical Tour?

    +

    Included: 1-Hour Glory Days Tour; and Admission to the Queen Mary. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    What languages is Queen Mary Glory Days Historical Tour offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Queen Mary Glory Days Historical Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Queen Mary Glory Days Historical Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Long Beach. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

    What do travelers say about Queen Mary Glory Days Historical Tour?
