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.

Our tour with Tony was amazing. I had my 80 year old mother with me and it was raining. Tony made sure we had umbrellas and he tailored the tour so that we had certain stops where we were out of the rain. We originally booked the tour for 1.5 hours but we asked Tony if we could extend the time and he said sure. The tour itself was very informative and entertaining. Everyone we talked to in Cambridge said Tony was the best tour guide around and we would agree. He had many interesting facts and seemed to know everything there was to know about Cambridge. I would highly recommend this tour company and you can't go wrong with Tony or his partner. We went on numerous tours in Europe and this was the best one. The personalized touch and private tour was well worth the extra money.

Really enjoyed our Tour! We had Tony, and he was fantastic. He jokingly introduced himself as one of UK's worst tour guides, but in reality he was probably one of the best. He was able to intertwine his breadth of knowledge of the city with lots of anecdotes and humour. I came away from the tour knowing a lot more about this beautiful city. Definitely recommend!

An informative and enlightening tour of the town that takes you through the center of the city. Good focus on the history of the university. Tony was a fantastic guide full of information, wit, humor, and was very personable. It was 90 minutes well spent and appreciate the care he took to engage with all of us to make sure everyone got something out of the experience.

The tour was excellent and Tony Rodgers was not only amusing but exceptionally interesting and well informed, giving us all sorts of facts which ranged from the historical dates to information about the people involved in the founding of the colleges to the tales of student pranks. It was a 90 minutes which went very quickly (and even served to take my mind off the bitterly cold winds!) and was money very well spent. Highly recommended.

Very interesting, but I hoped to see more of old Cambridge. Our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. I enjoyed listening to his anecdotes, but felt that we stood around listening rather than walking and seeing more of the ancient Cambridge

Thank you. I suspect that your own expectation of what a walking tour should contain differs from our interpretation. A tour which merely walked past every old building in Cambridge would not be in any way entertaining or informative. The tour included all of the the key sights in the historic heart of Cambridge. The guides job is to tell you what you are seeing and to enhance the experience with historic tales, anecdotes, facts etc, which you seem to have enjoyed. We aim to make our tours fun, as well as informative. This seems to be what most of our clients want and I am sorry that it was not what you were expecting. Best wishes, Chris Skilton.
