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.

Jane the tour guide was excellent.
Keeping us entertained on the coldest day of the year, was no mean feat.
But loved this and will probably do again in the warmer weather.
Well done and thankyou

Very informative. Although it was a very cold day, it was most enjoyable because the guide kept up a good pace and filled us in on the key points in Canterbury's history plus lots of other little bits of fascinating information.

We had a fantastic tour today in Canterbury. Our guide, Pauline, was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. Her tales of history in this stunning city were captivating. I’ve lived here 30 years and knew nothing about the place where I live. Highly recommend this tour!

If you visit Canterbury, you have to take this tour before doing anything else! Ian kept us enthralled for 90 minutes, his knowledge and passion shone kept us engaged the whole tour. We could have listened to him for another 90 minutes at least!

Hi Kate, yes we would welcome our guests to bring along their friendly canine companions. Our tours travel through the streets of Canterbury as well as through the Cathedral grounds. As long as they are kept on a lead it would be great to have your dog join us. We hope to see you on a tour very soon!
