Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great experience, staff make it a wonderful place to visit
Couldn't fault the staff whatsoever, they were perfect and very welcoming.
We had a wheelchair user with us as daughter had broken her foot and the staff were wonderful, we were approached while waiting in the queue and were allowed to queue jump and access the museum via the exit ramp, staff were great at helping out and giving advise wherever possible. It was a very positive experience, was just a shame that some of the public (not all) were ignorant and rude trying to rush in and cut each other up like a herd of cows, we literally had an adult sit on top of daughter in the wheelchair.

Great for free visit
We went there yesterday in a doomy day and there were quite a lots to see! We chose not to see the paid butterfly house since we were not too bothered with it! We went for a drink after in the only coffee shop and I had to say it was a bit on a high side but I suppose they have to make some revenue to keep the staff who look after the big place! In all fairness, it was great afternoon out without costing a fortune on entrance! I have to say, I am still looking to see the ‘walrus’.

Must visit for anyone interested in the natural world
Intimate but special institute with fabulous library and an amazing collection. We had the opportunity to view Edward lears parrots from 1832 - amazing.

Great behind-the-scenes tour
Highly recommended for history buffs! Part of the Royal Museums Greenwich, this is a gigantic warehouse of maritime-related objects that also houses a conservation group. Really enjoyed a two-hour Thursday walking tour in a small group with friendly staff guides, looking at everything from astonishing collections of paintings to Admiral Nelson's tea cups to early charts drawn on calfskin. We also chatted with conservators at work. The collection is not near the other Greenwich museums nor other tourist attractions. But getting there took only about half an hour from Victoria Station via Southeastern Railway to the Kidbrooke station, which is a few minutes' walk from the collection.

Fascinating tour of London
We decided to book this full day tour of London with Londra Culturale as a birthday present for a member of our family who had come over from Italy for a visit.
It was their first time in the UK (and London) and the tour did not disappoint.
Angelo was extremely knowledgeable and full of fascinating historical facts about the history of London and all of the places and monuments we visited.
It was an extremely interesting and fascinating tour and our Italian family members really enjoyed it.
A really great day out - highly recommended.
