Not only was our charming guide, Elizabeth very informative re: Morse, Lewis and Endeavour she was also very knowledgeable in respect of Oxford and its many colleges. My partner and I, thoroughly enjoyed our tour and felt it represented excellent value for money.
We have been big fans of Morse for years. This was our first trip to Oxford. Our guide did an outstanding job of providing us with an outline of the British university system. She also had great stories about the various Morse TV shows and their stars. Terrific fun and terrific value!
Excellent walking tour with Leigh. She was knowledgeable with personal experiences and photos to share with the group.
Excellent tour - informative, fun, non-academic and a great introduction to finding your way around the City.
Extremely knowledgeable and very friendly guide. A lovely way to see Oxford.
A fun-filled and interesting tour. Heidi was the perfect guide shepherding us through a busy Oxford with practiced ease. Her grasp of the subject matter and her sheer enjoyment of all things Morse added hugely to our enjoyment. We are already planning when we can go again!
We took this tour in early May. The guide was VERY knowledgeable about the Morse/Lewis/Endeavor series. There were perhaps a couple of things we'd have preferred to be a bit different. First, going from location to location was done at something like a 'forced march' pace. One had to fast walk to keep up. This was done perhaps so that at each location the guide could spend time describing her encounters with the filming crew and actors in addition to the descriptions of the sites and connections to the series. The walking pace could have been a bit more relaxed if the content at each stop didn't incorporate something of a personal paparazzi feel to it.
