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.

- Travel25346533585168 contributionsWhile on the small size as far as Museums go The Vancouver Museum of Anthropology does have it's merits. It is a good rainy day activity when visiting Vancouver. It is also easy to get to, transportation wise. While not a must see, if you visit it does have it's merits.Written 1 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ZitatravelLondon, UK852 contributionsNice area to wander around on the harbour. Good views . There was a passenger liner in when we were there so could not walk all the way round. The shoreline walk on the left is a better walk with lots of bars and restaurants . So Canada Place is your starting point for a visit to the Harbour.Written 29 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
