Before our tour with Sylvia began, we had already done a tour of several hours with a larger group. By the time we chose, all the sights had already closed. Also, it was pouring rain. In her most wonderful way, Sylvia managed to guide us through Oxford for two hours, telling us new and interesting stories and, despite the unfavorable weather, keeping us entertained until the end. She was able to answer all of our questions, was friendly, accommodating and very considerate of all our needs. We really enjoyed the tour with her. After the tour, as discussed, she sent us a few more tips for good breakfast cafés and great photo spots. We are very grateful to her for this unforgettable tour. ♥️We forgot the rain...

An excellent tour by Ben who tailored it to the interests of the group and shared the history, architecture and the areas in various films. He had taken the Oxford guide exam so we knew that he would be good. Have already recommended it to family.Very Knowledgable Guide
