Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

He has defrauded Chawton House of its visitor charges.
jun. 2023 • Venner
I am a volunteer at Chawton House and Phil persistently is refusing to pay the charity run Chawton House for entry either into the garden or into the house and is always trying to sneak his guests in for free. He has been caught on a number of occasions. Could all his guests please make sure he pays entry when they visit. He is a crook.

Terrific deep dive into Jane Austen's world
jun. 2023
As a foreigner, I don’t think I could’ve seen Hampshire and its Jane Austen sites any other way than through a tour like this. Most of the Austen sites are not touristy in the slightest, like the site of her childhood home (which no longer stands) and her father’s chapel in Steventon. So it was invaluable to have a guide who lives and works in the area (and knows how to drive on those narrow country roads!) to help us understand the significance of what we were looking at.

Phil was a wealth of information about all sorts of topics: the geology of this part of England, chapel “graffiti,” general British history and culture, things that Austen would have understood in her time. This really enriched the experience. Phil recommended reading the book, “Jane Austen: A Life” by Claire Tomalin before going on the tour, and I would also recommend doing so, for the same purpose.

This was the first tour we did after arriving in England. Thank you, Phil, for the wonderful introduction to the country!

Jane Austen's Dancing Years: I came back a second time
jun. 2023 • Venner
This was my second time taking this personal tour of Jane Austen's birthplace - the first was 10 years ago - and I recommend taking it a second time (as well as a first). We did the full-day tour; new locations were added, and additional research by Phil made it even more updated and in-depth. The tour ended at Jane Austen's cottage in Chawton, with a trip to the larger Chawton House nearby.

Always personable, knowledgeable, and friendly, Phil's insights into Regency (and earlier) Hampshire county were as educational as they were entertaining. You don't have to be a Jane Austen expert to enjoy the history and gossip surrounding the life she lived in this lovely area of England.

A wonderful tour
mar. 2023
The Jane Austen tour was a "special" birthday present for my wife. We went with my two daughters. Absolutely brilliant. Phil is not only extremely knowledgeable but also really excellent company. Jane Austen is my wife's favourite author and it was wonderful seeing and learning about the places where she spent the early years of her life. I also never realised Hampshire is such a beautiful county.

A Wonderful Way to Spend a Day out of London!
des. 2022
Wish there was an extra Gold Star to give to this tour. We cannot recommend it highly enough! Not only did Phil bring Jane Austen to life for us, he gave us a day immersed in the English countryside past and present! Travelling around Hampshire with Phil was like visiting with an old friend. Within minutes we were laughing and learning, sharing stories, and exploring any question that came to mind. Cap it off with the best meal of our entire week at a local Free House and I cannot wait to join Phil again.

Highly recommend this tour, it's a must see!
okt. 2022 • Venner
We had an absolute delight spending the day with Phil, and learning not only all about Jane Austen but also about the detailed structure of English villages and their complex social history. It was such a  fun day,  and Phil was both informative and led conversations with ease. For the rest of our trip in Great Britain we were able to reference a lot of what he discussed with us,  and he gave some great details for other tours we would be doing later on.

This tour would be interesting to everyone,  even those that are not huge Jane Austen fans. Driving around these small and hidden country roads would not be easy as a tourist;  not to mention,  one wouldn't even know what to look for!   However,  with a regional expert like Phil it's something anyone can experience. We highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in Jane Austen and historical aspects to English villages

One of the joys of that day was the quick wit and repartee that took place between you, which made for a day of smiles and giggles. I am so pleased to hear that I could help put the rest of your tour in context, and I hope you had a wonderful time in Scotland.

Unforgettable & Beautiful Experience
sep. 2022
This was an exceptional experience. Phil is an incredibly intelligent, entertaining, and friendly person, and he knows just about anything an avid Austen fan could want to know. His tour exceeds expectations in terms of both the amount of places visited and information learned about the life of one of the world's most beloved novelist.

Éducational and entertaining
sep. 2022 • Venner
Phil did an amazing job bringing Jane Austen to life. My mother, sister, and I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the people who were closest to her, the houses and churches where she spent her time, and history of the region and its peoples. Phil treated us like old friends and we felt comfortable from the start. His knowledge of the area, both current and historical, educated and entertained us. Lunch at the Fir and Feathers was delicious and he even made sure we got on the right train at the end of our tour. We highly recommend this tour to all ladies who love Jane and to any single men in possession of a good fortune and in want of an accomplished wife.

We all had so much fun that day! The conversations were good as was the company, there was much laughter, always a good indicator of enjoyment. Here I can offer a new compound word, "edutainment", which is what I hope to achieve on the tour. Lunch is always an important part of the day and I will pass your kind comments on to the Fur & Feathers.

Great Jane Austen Tour!
aug. 2022
Book this tour! Phil was the perfect guide/host/driver on this particular Jane Austen tour out of London. "Professor" Phil is super knowledgeable and loves conversing and sharing the ideas, connections, assumptions and facts around the life of Jane Austen. The tour took us into the beautiful Hampshire countryside to enjoy quaint roadways, parks and villages. Seeing Chawton was on our TO DO LIST and it made us want start rereading a Jane Austen classic.

The Jane Austen tour is a great antidote to days in London. It's a relaxing driven tour of the Hampshire countryside exploring so much in such a short time, quaint roadways and all. We go off the beaten track and explore villages and especially churches, little pockets of history often pre- dating 1066 and all with links to Jane Austen.

Magical Experience
sep. 2022
Phil Howe is a gem - a Renaissance man with extensive knowledge of not just Jane Austen's life and works, but of her personality, her relationships, and the land on which she walked and grew up with her family and friends. His tour is personal, even simple at times, but informed by deep knowledge and appreciation, and plenty of witticism and laughs. When we arrived at Steventon, Jane's childhood home, he knew the church warden and we were afforded a truly unique opportunity - to ring the church bells in honor of Queen Elizabeth's passing the day before, during the official hour in which church bells rang across the United Kingdom. We had a wonderful tour with a person we now call a friend. If you want to get to know and understand Jane, take a tour with Phil Howe.

It was a true pleasure to meet you and we hope our paths cross again.

That day was really very special. The massive privilege of being able to ring the double muffled bell to acknowledge the death of a British monarch is the most rare and special experience. It is the only time church bells are double muffled, (a single leather covering of the clapper is used for ordinary funerals, doubled for a monarch). This was a once in a lifetime experience and one which will never ever be forgotten. I am so pleased that I could enable you both to ring the bell, and hope you treasure the memory forever. I certainly will and I know all three of us were all very moved to honour the death of Queen Elizabeth the Second in this way. A magical experience indeed.
