Great little museum. - What a wonderful little museum. We took our time to read everything and watch most of the videos. Great fun for all ages. Dressing up, writing with a quill, photo opportunities.

Incredible tour guides - We attended the night time ghost tour with an incredible guide named Alfred the warden. Incredible stories of people who passed away on this site. The tour never faked any ghost sightings, so anything you see or hear will be your experience. If you have no ghost sightings, you’ll still have a great time. Alfred kept the spirits up and was very quick witted. I definitely recommend. I wish there was a card machine to give tips, the guide really makes the experience.

Fun family experience. - We stumbled upon this one evening in Stratford upon Avon and it looked intriguing so we returned the next day. The museum is well designed to journey through Tudor England - telling stories of witches and the Plague. There's a fun trail and dressing up for kids and the staff are very friendly. You can dash through it but equally if you spend a bit of time reading you'll get more out of the visit.

Fabulous museum - Fantastic to see inside this beautiful historic building. Exhibits are suitable for all age ranges. Happily no tech gizmos that distract from the feel of the period. There are clothes for children to try on, many photo opportunities and a few films to add information. We loved it. As an extra, see the list of Questions and answers outside the entrance. The sarcastic version is really funny!

Incredible - My partner and I visited Tudor World today and met not one but two of perhaps the most interesting, intelligent and kind historians who took their time to give us our own impromptu personal tour around the museum! It was refreshing and rewarding to spend time with people who clearly love what they do and love keeping history alive in this modern world. They made our trip one we will remember and we would recommend this museum to everybody.

Disappointing. - Really disappointed. £20 for a 10 minute walk around a house. It was so packed that we couldn't actually get close to anything. May suit younger children but was definitely a let down for us.

Not worth the time and money - This museum is not worth the money. We were greeted by a man with his feet up on the desk. He didn’t bother to take them down whilst explaining the tour. The tour took 25 minutes. Everything is very shabby and dated, and not in a Tudor kind of way. We also booked a ghost tour which we did not attend as the ghost tour, the tour guide said it is the same as the self guided tour with candles.
