excellent Morse, Lewis and Endeavor Tour of Oxford
I enjoy the programmes, my wife doesn't watch them. She booked this for me as a treat several months ago but we were delayed due to lockdown. We found that we both really enjoyed this walk as there was plenty of general Oxford information included. The walk is very gentle with lots of stops, the tour was very informative and the guide Heidi was very knowledgeable so we really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone who likes these shows.

Tour of "Morse" Oxford
An excellent tour of many of the scenes used in the filming of the Morse series (including Lewis and Endeavour). Our friendly and knowledgeable guide also pointed out many sights and their history that weren't used in the series but were a part of the rich history of Oxford, making the tour even more interesting. Thank you for a thoroughly absorbing and fascinating couple of hours!

If your a fan definitely a tour to go on
I made a round trip from Warrington cheshire to Oxford with my dad for this tour as I had bought it as a gift and I can honestly say it was well worth the trip the guide was lovely and very informative. The headsets were very impressive as you could hear everything she was saying without the disturbance of the traffic and of the passers-by. I did find my self feeling very jealous of the photos she had taken with many of the stars from Morse,Lewis and Endeavour. Definitely would do again.

We had an excellent walking tour of Oxford given by Leigh Guyatt. She was highly knowledgeable about the author Colin Dexter and his Inspector Morse novels, also Lewis and Endeavor. We were shown many locations where the books were based and the filming took place. Leigh also gave us some history of the colleges, taking us inside Exeter College.

This tour was bought for use by our daughter and was a fantastic afternoon out! Elizabeth, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable about Oxford and its colleges as well as demonstrating a passion for the Dexter characters of Morse, Lewis and Endeavour (and Hathaway) and an excellent knowledge of the locations and in which episodes they were used.

An excellent tour!
I received a ticket for the tour for my 50th birthday, and was absolutely thrilled to see Oxford through the lens of Morse and the later series. Our tour guide did a splendid job, telling us key knowledge on the filming locations as well as behind-the-scenes bits about Colin Dexter. Despite the rain, we thoroughly enjoyed the two-hour tour, and came home wanting to watch more episodes in search of the locations.

A thoroughly enjoyable experience
This was a very interesting two hours, made more so by our knowledgeable guide, Elizabeth. Her delivery of the many facts and stories she has, was just right. She kept everyone interested and managed to impart so much information, that the time flew by. The pace of walking was just right too, no rushing but fast enough to see as much as possible in the time. She pointed out pubs and took us into a college, where we were able to sit in the chapel, while she told us about the cast and filming.

As Morse, Lewis and Endeavour fans this walking tour was spot on. Our guide Heidi was very knowledgeable on Morse and the City of Oxford. The timing of the tour, at two hours was long enough to get a real feel for the subject and places mentioned in the series. Would certainly recommend this tour.

Fantastic tour with a very experienced guide
This trip was planned for my Mum and Dad (who love Morse, Lewis and Endeavour) by me but I ended up going on the tour with my Mum due to unforseen circumstances. All I can say is, my Dad missed an absolute treat. Our guide Elizabeth was brilliant and the perfect host as she gently guided us around beautiful Oxford. My Mum was absolutely delighted and is keen to do the tour again! Very interactive, informative and an overall highly pleasant experience! Thanks very much Elizabeth!!

What a wonderful tour following in the the footsteps of Morse, Lewis and Endeavour. Elizabeth, our guide was superb not only showing us where various scenes from the series happened but also bringing it all to life with a wealth of anecdotes. We also learned so much about the history of Oxford and the colleges. Thank you so much for such an interesting and informative tour.

Great tour of Oxford
The Morse/Lewis/Endeavour tour of Oxford was excellent. Elizabeth, our guide was able to link her extensive, behind the scenes, knowledge of everything relating to the 3 TV shows to Oxford. We also learned a lot of fascinating facts Oxford, the University and the colleges. Even though it was a bit cold and wet, there were opportunities to go inside and warm up, we were kept enthralled throughout the walk. A very enjoyable afternoon, thank you

One for Morse fans.
The two hour tour seemed to pass in no time. Our guide Sandra was obviously an enthusiast of Morse Endeavour and Lewis having photos of them filming as well as shorts from the TV to show at the actual location. At each location she described the scene which immediately brought to mind the episode on TV. She combined this with some Oxford history.

This was the best gift ever! A well organised and professionally led walking tour featuring some of the many colleges ( and pubs!) that feature in the film series.
