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.

We took a 2.5 hour tour of the British Museum in August 2024 with Wesley and it was terrific. The museum is so vast and overwhelming but Wesley was able to keep my 3 teens engaged with the history and art through his captivating stories and just-right pace. I don't know how we would have made it through the museum's highlights without his expert guidance.

We booked a tour for a waterfall hike, but the day before, the weather was not going to be cooperative. I worked with Dave, the guide, via WhatsApp, and we altered the plan.
What we covered was still spectacular, but even more so, David was amazing. He answered questions, worked around our schedule, was patient, kind, knowledgeable, and was the most flexible tour guide we've ever had.
Hopefully, one day, we'll be back to Wales and the weather will allow the initial plan, but even if it doesn't, I wouldn't hesitate to work with Dave again.

Hi Jeff,
Thanks so much for the review. We are pleased that you were able to make the most of the time you had and that Dave was able to give you the flexibility to show you something about Welsh culture and heritage. Hoping you enjoy the rest of your planned holiday.

My brother and I recently went on the Historic London Pub Tour with Wesley as the guide. I don't drink so this was more for my brother to experience and we both had a great time! I enjoyed hearing about the history side and my brother enjoyed the beers. I would recommend this tour to others.

Me and my husband both really enjoyed the walking tour of Cardiff. Our guide Gareth was very knowledgable and brought the sights of Cardiff to life with many historical details and interesting anecdotes. It was a great way to familiarise ourselves with the city. A very enjoyable couple of hours!

What a fun way to learn about the social history of London! Our guide Wesley was excellent; personalable, knowledgeable, and humorous. Plus, I appreciate the small group approach, unlike another tour I went on earlier in the week. Learning with a pint in your hand is the best!

Cardiff Walking Tour - Gareth a local Welshman gave a tour experience for a small group of us starting at Cardiff Castle followed by other local attractions including the arcades and city stadium. Our group included Cardiff residents as well as visitors and everyone enjoyed Gareth’s knowledge of the area and humorous facts! Highly recommended if you are in Cardiff and want to learn more about the city!
