- The ranking of tours, activities, and experiences available on Tripadvisor is determined by several factors including the revenue generated by Tripadvisor from these bookings, the frequency of user clicks, and the volume and quality of customer reviews. Occasionally, newly listed offerings may be prioritized and appear higher in the list. The specific placement of these new listings may vary.
We perform checks on reviews.
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.

- Daydream632381411182 contributionsNancy was our guide, and she is really immersed in story telling. She gave everyone an interactive experience and was especially great with kids. The tour certainly helped us appreciate oxford better.Review of: Harry Potter Walking Tour of Oxford Including New CollegeWritten 29 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rachel CCanberra, Australia27 contributionsIt was really nice to get out of London and see a different part of the UK. This tour is a great alternative to Bath & Stonehenge. Stratford was great fun and I really enjoyed that we seemed to get every where just before it got busy. Anne Marie was a wonderful guide and knew a lot about a lot! Hadar was our driver and he skilfully got us around some tiny streets in these towns. Well done to both of you and thank you for a lovely day.Review of: Small-Group Oxford, Warwick Castle and Stratford-upon-AvonWritten 18 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Maya H1 contributionMichel gave us a great tour with lots of new knowledge that we didn’t expect to gain. Was a really friendly and interesting experience and great for Harry Potter fans.Review of: Oxford Harry Potter Insights entry to Divinity School PUBLIC TourWritten 5 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Stuart CNorwich, UK8 contributionsPeter was extremely enthusiastic and gave us his all. Great with the children and certainly knew his audience. He chatted to all as a group and individually and was generous with his knowledge. i spoke about a separate and unrelated issue from the evening before, and the very next day Peter sent me a link that explained that incident that I had casually mentioned. He was also very thoughtful in many other ways.
his anecdote about C.S. Lewis and some of the inspirations that influenced his writing were wonderful to him. (I`m more of a C.S.Lewis fan than J.K.Rowling) I wish him well in his MSc studies. But don`t get him started on Tom Cruise!!Review of: Harry Potter PUBLIC Tour + Self Guided Christ church Daily 12.45Written 1 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I decided to go on this on Monday and had a wonderful interesting tour of the historical sites of the area, followed by a splendid afternoon tea served by the very friendly staff at the Folly Restaurant

I had been to Oxford and a few of the colleges years earlier, but he imparted a lot of new information and had a nice sense of humor. I would highly recommend him and this company for other visitors considering a uni tour of Oxford.Review of: Shared | Oxford Uni Walking Tour w/opt Christ Church EntryWritten 5 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rob FPlaya de Gandia, Spain8 contributionsWhat a great day with Tom our tour guide. He made our day in Oxford come alive with his extensive commentary on Oxford history. We selected the Morse/Endeavor/Lewis tour but got so much more. Can’t recommend Tom and Visig Oxford Tours enough.

- Jack O1 contributionThis was such a great way to explore the great historic Oxford University campus. Simon was very knowledgeable about the history of the colleges and the tutorial system. It was fascinating to learn of the interactions each college had with well-known historic figures and authors. Simon’s personal accounts of his experiences with faculty and members of the university helped paint a vivid picture of the unique experience of life at Oxford.Review of: 1.5-hour Oxford University and Colleges Walking TourWritten 30 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Elizabeth MOxford, UK4 contributionsRather than go on a physical tour, Hannah provided a tailored talk to a village society I am involved in. Many of the members are elderly and with limited mobility so, instead, Oxford came to us!
We met to discuss the contents and format of the talk, and then we were provided with a very interesting and engaging presentation which was extremely enjoyable.Review of: 2-Hour Private Walking Tour in OxfordWritten 26 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
