We had booked this free tour through the Open House Festival in advance but others joined the group on the day. The maximum number in the group was 25. Each of us were given headsets which we could clearly hear our guide Suzy. She was a very informative and well spoken tour guide who walked us around a number of highlights in the museum. The talk flowed very well. We went up and down between floors but Suzy pointed out the lifts for those who needed them.

Great little tour with Tessa! She showed the group some of the highlights of the museum and gave us great information about them! Great tour to do if you want to go to the museum but are short on time or you don’t want to spend a full day.

Went on the Treasures Tour yesterday with Suzy. The tour is a whistle-stop tour of the galleries showing the highlights but was not rushed. Suzy brought the items to life with fascinating facts and anecdotes, her passion for the subject shone through. I certainly plan to revisit the galleries and spend more time examining the items.

It was great, got loads of information about different topics. Fun insights in various displayed pieces. It was a quiet day so we did not really need it, hut the headset we were given was really nice because everyone could hear the stories Adrian was telling very well. He told stories very vividly and clearly. Would reccommend! Thank you Adrian for the fun time!

I liked this museum a lot. I'd been previously to the Imperial War museum and was quite disappointed, so this was a really pleasant surprise. It takes you through British maritime history, via the ages of exploration and trade (good and bad) through Nelson right up to antarctic exploration. As I'm mainly interested in the art there was lots of it for me to enjoy, particularly by William Hodges, who was Captain Cook's artist on his exploration of the Pacific. There were some magnificent paintings in the Nelson section, but there were also lots of interesting displays and interactive sections to enjoy. I particularly liked that there were lots and lots of children at the Museum, so it didn't feel at all like a stuffy old institution. Highly recommended.

Like many Londoners I’d never got round to visiting this treasure trove of artefacts. I went as part of the annual Open House weekend. My only disappointment was that I thought the aim of the weekend was to give access to places the public wouldn’t usually see. On this occasion it was a regular tour. Our tour guide, Tessa was friendly, knowledgeable and took the time to ensure that those in the group with mobility issues were able to keep up by waiting patiently for them to use the lifts before resuming her presentation. I was amazed to learn that only 1% of the objects they have are on display and I should have asked where the other 99% are hidden - maybe I’ll find out next visit. Well worth participating in. The tour took 45 minutes.

I enjoyed a 1 hour tour run by the Maritime Museum staff. It cost £3.50. My guide was Simon. He was full of information and very engaging. I recommend this feature of the Greenwich Maritime Museum. Nick Snell Hampshire GB

Friendly greeting and helpful information from museum staff on arrival. I joined a free tour of the ground floor gallery with Richard as the guide. He was not only informative, but enthusiastic and humorous during the 45 minute tour. It was the perfect duration to hold everybody's interest and to give a taste of what the museum had in store. I spent the rest of my time viewing the other galleries and eating in the Parkside café. It serves a good range of foods and beverages. The whole museum is bright and well presented. I will definitely return as there is a lot of information to take on board and so many other wonderful sites to see nearby.

I initially went to see the astronomy photography of the year exhibition which was very interesting and worth a visit, but also went on the treasures tour, an hour long guided tour of the highlights of the museum. Suzy was a very knowledgeable guide, telling the stories behind a variety of objects all connected to the sea in a different way. The tour was a fascinating way to learn about a wide range of objects and I would highly recommend it.

Went to the Museum on a wet Sept day as part of a planned day visiting the Painted hall first then Queens house afterwards. Whilst walking through the museum I heard an announcement about ‘sea shanty’ but didn’t catch it all. I assumed it would be a group singing ? When we arrived at the said spot a guide Mark B asked the four people there if they were there for the talk ! We all said yes. He gave a very entertaining and informative talk about the history and meanings of these sailor’s songs and at just the right pace with useful A4 photos to illustrate various points. He did say early on that he hoped we could sing one at the end which was slightly alarming. And Indeed we did. We sang ‘A drop of Nelson’s blood’ and we thoroughly enjoyed doing it! Great talk and surprisingly enjoyable finale. Well done David. Thank you. That made the visit so much more interacting and entertaining. These sorts of short Guide led talks etc make such large museum visits so much more enjoyable……. And memorable. Brilliant !
