Susan
Francis
Along with Rosie and Mike Nott, Susan is one of the founders of
Cambridge Tailor-Made Tours. Her infectious enthusiasm for Cambridge is easy to catch! A
memorable visit is much more than just seeing a lot of impressive
buildings. And Susan’s tales and anecdotes about the people and events
in the city will bring your visit alive. She’s got hundreds, maybe
thousands, of great stories to tell … which means you’re guaranteed a
fascinating tour and some truly great memories to take home.
