A Brilliant Way to Explore Oxford

5.00I did this tour yesterday and had a fantastic time. The weather was lovely and it was a great way to explore Oxford. Tim was a brilliant guide — really friendly and knowledgeable. He shared lots of fascinating stories and anecdotes about Tolkien, Lewis and Lewis Carroll. We saw several colleges along the way (at least three), and the tour finished with a more in-depth visit to Magdalen College, which was a great way to end it. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone interested in literature or just wanting a friendly and interesting walk around Oxford.
Best tour in Oxford!

5.00We enjoyed the most delightful afternoon with Tim. He retraced the steps of Lewis and Tolkien in excellent fashion with amazing places along the journey. He also did such a thorough job helping us understand life at Oxford University and a student’s life at the numerous colleges. We highly recommend this tour!
Enlightening and refreshing

5.00Thank you, Tim, for an absolutely enlightening and refreshing afternoon following the footsteps of Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. Tim is very familiar with and rooted in Oxford. It’s a great pleasure that he shares and discusses his broad knowledge and enthusiasm for two of Oxfords greatest literary figures with you. The 2,5 hours went by so fast that we didn’t even get the chance to talk about Alice and Lewis Carroll in depth. Hopefully, we will catch up on that when I get the chance to visit Oxford again! I would be delighted to get the chance to book a tour again with my husband who is a Tolkien fan.
