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.

    Mike, our tour guide was wonderful. Very informative and good fun. We absolutely loved our tour and have been recommending it to everyone.
    Even better if....there was a loo stop half way through.

    I have travelled with Rabbie’s many times in the UK and this trip did not disappoint. A lovely day spent in the Cotswolds and then Oxford. A good amount of time was given to explore at each stop. I find Rabbie’s excellent value for money and will travel with them again soon.

    Tobias the Butcher took us on a great spooky ghost tour of Bristol. We really enjoyed it. As there's so much history in Bristol we'd love to go on another tour, an extended or part two version of this one. We noticed The White Hart and the old Odeon cinema weren't on the tour - and there are plenty of other ghoulish cold spots in Bristol - so if you do another tour, we'll definitely come. (group of 8 of us Saturday 30th Nov). Thanks!

    Really interesting tour. Great views and very informative.
    Great way to tour the city in your own leisurely time.
    The very last bit of the tour is very steep which we were not expecting but we made it to the top for spectacular views.

    The weather was beautiful for cycling. The day before, it was raining the whole day. There were only 3 of us, including Morton, our guide. He was excellent. He explained well and ensured our safety as we cycled along the roads & people. We are so glad we signed up for this tour.

    Nicely pitched - friendly, informative, intuitive. A good mix of very old and relatively new history. Excellent value at £3ish per mile!

    We really enjoyed the tour. We liked that you could do at your own pace and interesting details given. We also did some of the detours and recommended stops - Watershed/Toto's. There is so much to see and do here!

    Lovely guy with a great manner. I was very impressed with his sensitive coverage of some difficult subject matter (slavery, graffiti).
    Fascinating tour and despite being relatively local I saw and learned loads that was completely new to me.

    Had the virtual guide tour and our guide John was super cool. Interesting experience, but I bet the real tour should be even more fun.

    We toured with Rabbie’s from Bristol to the south of Wales...what an amazing trip! We enjoy the small group tours for many reasons: comfort, ability to go a bit off the beaten track, and the camaraderie with fellow travelers and the driver/guide. From along the southern coast of Wales out to St Davids and then back again through the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, we visited many incredible places. Our driver/guide Kate was a delight. She was one of the most friendly, knowledgeable, and interesting people you could ever meet! She was also a very skilled driver and could navigate tiny backroads while telling fascinating history and tales. Kate, thank you so much for making our trip so incredibly fun!

    It was nice and we learned a lot. The questions were not so hard and the sort of puzzles repeated a bit too much. We hoped more escape like puzzles
