"The man that conducted the tour was good but I thought I would be scared. Unfortunately I was not."
"Please don't allow your customers to bring their ghost hunting equipment on a tour and make it their show."
"Rang their number, 'it's cancelled tonight, guide is sick' they could have put a notice outside, or said something to waiting customers....not impressed at lack of politeness or consideration."
Staff and Service

"The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly."
"The staff member who served was really lovely and seemed like she really enjoyed working there which is always nice to see."
Cons:
"Very Expensive, tired looking and in need of update."
"Not a single actor or guide anywhere just endless posters to read."
"Not a single staff member there except women checking us in who ignored us."
"Got grieve by a member of staff when we arrived for taking my 6 year old."
"Standing outside, obviously waiting to go in. Guy brings out rubbish, said nothing to us..at 6.10., doors still closed."
"No friendly welcome, small, dingy and not a single person anywhere."
"Not worth the money. Guides printed wrongly. Information on information boards in the museum with wrong information."
Educational Value
Pros:
"It also has one of the most comprehensive education packages for schools covering The Tudors, Shakespeare and Elizabethan theatre."
"This is a great museum with some great displays. There are various different ways of telling story. Through sight, smells and audio visual."
"It is one of the most unusual and interesting museums in the country, with recreations of the Tudor/Elizabethan period Set in a genuine building that dates back to 1596."
"Found the information available incredibly informative and interesting and loved the recreations of all different aspects of Tudor life."
"Our guide, Winifred, expertly brought the tales to life in character with some added humour."
"Lovely museum. Really interesting. All information panels contained so many interesting facts."
"A lovingly-made museum containing waxworks and reconstructions from the Tudor period. Very well thought out, and lots of hands-on things."
Cons:
"There was not much to see but what was available I found interesting."
"It doesn't really say anything about religion of the era and doesn't talk about the people and peasants."
"Some businesses can't take fair comments."
"Visit Tudor World. After a couple of minutes, I realised that it’s for kids not for me."
"I would question the historicity of some of the statements made in the museum."
"It is educational and is quite small but I wouldn't go there if I wanted to know about the Tudors because it only gives certain information."
"Moldy smell, dismal and mostly boring."
Value for Money
Pros:
"Really good display on show with some interactive things to do well worth the admission fee."
"It’s cost us £18.50 for a family of four which is very responsible."
"Entrance isn't hugely expensive (it was about twenty quid for the family)."
"Great experience for my 11 and 8 year olds. They loved it lots to get involved with."
"The fact that it was priced really affordably makes this a must visit."
"If you want something cheap and worth your money, go on this tour!!"
"It's not overly big place so an hour or so would be fine and price is reasonable too."
Cons:
"We had a Groupon voucher so got 2 for price of 1 tickets. Would have been disappointed if paid full price."
"These smells were really horrible and stayed in my nostrils for hours it felt like."
"I thought that this exhibition on Tudor life was reasonably interesting. However, it didn’t take me long to look around so it seemed as though the name Tudor 'World' was slightly misleading."
"Didn’t get anything interesting but really good for kids to dress up and get some pics."
"The exhibits are interesting and the activities fun."
"No friendly welcome, small, dingy and not a single person anywhere."
"Our tour had too many people for such a tight space (18 people)."
