- Our Featured sort order ranks tours, activities, and experiences by several factors including the revenue generated by Tripadvisor from these bookings, your individual user browsing history and preferences while using Tripadvisor, the frequency of user clicks generally, and the volume and quality of customer reviews. Occasionally, newly listed offerings may be prioritized and appear higher in the list. The specific placement of these new listings may vary.

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.

- AnaelBodwellVictoria, Seychelles336 contributionsPete, our guide, was an absolute great guy. He is full of energy, high spirited and very friendly. He makes the trip twice the fun by delighting everyone with nice stories and great music. The tour as simply amazing, we saw some great sights and took plenty of photos to cherish. From Harry Potter to James Bond, Pete knows them all and has some nice jokes to share too. I would definitely recommend the trip to others.Written 2 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Vehicle was comfortable and our driver, Catty, was very charismatic and charming. Had some great time to see St. Andrew’s. Would recommend going at a time of year when there is more daylight as it was dark in Falkland and the palace was closed. Otherwise great!Written 17 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
