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.

Cold but ever so informative!
Oct 2023
We arranged for a tour for mature Oxford students who are all working in health services in many parts of the world. Most were completely new to Oxford so this tour was a great introduction to some Oxford history and tied in well with their studies. I'm not a student and I can say it was every bit as interesting and informative for me as it was for the students. Very interactive as well. I highly recommend!

Worth experiencing
Interesting way to experience Oxford. Got a sense of the historical past of the university and certain not-so-obvious aspects.

An interesting tour

This was a very interesting tour and our guide was very knowledgeable. He answered most of the questions asked of him with great depth. He was very clearly spoken and kept the party interested and involved with various opportunities for debate.

An informative and thought-provoking afternoon
I can highly recommend this tour for seeing a different aspect of Oxford. We had a small group of 6 which was ideal for being able to chat easily. Milan our guide was very generous with his time and gave us a good 2 hours plus of his knowledge and experience. We all learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed hearing some stories about Oxford which are not necessarily covered by other tours.

Thought provoking interactive tour highly recommend
Sep 2023
Everyone who 'thinks' they know Oxford should do this tour. Local resident, University/College staff, University student or just moved to Oxford. Thank you Milan! We need more spaces like this to have conversations. Your 'average' tour doesn't cover reality like this.

Rewarding Discomfort
Jul 2023 • Couples
A very interesting, thought provoking tour around the Ashmoleum Museum . Our guide was very good and posed some difficult questions which brought about a lively discussion amongst people on the tour. Luckily, we had a very diverse group from different countries so the conversations were stimulating and made us consider different points of view. . The only other comment we would make is that we taken around very swiftly and the tour came to an abrupt end leaving us wanting more.

Engaging and provocative
Aug 2022 • Solo
Wonderfully crafted approach to showing and explaining the "other" side of Oxford's role in UK's modern history. Engaging format where guides ask opinions and ideas of participants. Thoughtful, provocative and engaging. One of the best tours I have ever taken.
