Great tour with Tom - very informative and fun...had a chance to visit several colleges and Morse/Lewis sites

A memorable tour we thoroughly enjoyed.

Published on Sep, 2024

We had a wonderful experience with Renata. Fun, informative and engaging. She was very knowledgeable about Oxford as well as the Morse, Lewis and Endeavour sites. I would definitely recommend this tour.

A Tour with a novel difference

Published on Aug, 2024

Renata had an expansive knowledge of both Oxford history and Morse , Endeavour series. It was more than just buildings -She made many links to various series and episodes that brought the tv series to life. Loved the different spin on things and covered history as well

Thanks Renata for a great Morse tour of Oxford!

Published on Aug, 2024

Renata did a wonderful job!! Not only did she give us so many Morse stories about the places we saw, but lots of extra history and features of the city. She also got us into one of the school courtyards! Thanks Renata for a great tour!
