We forgot the rain...
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. ♥️

Great tour of Oxford
My family of 4 adults spent an informative, interesting and amusing couple of hours with Ben getting to know Oxford. Ben is a veteran of the theatre and I imagine this is a great background for any guide. As a born and bred Oxfordian (I'm not sure this is a word) he was extremely well educated about Oxford and its history. He explained the history of Oxford well and kept us entertained through the tour. I would wouldn't hesitate to do a tour with Ben again in the future.
