We had an absolutely fabulous tour with Tom who is clever and funny with a seemingly endless knowledge of all things Morse/Lewis/Endeavour. Even though it was technically a group tour it ended up being just my mother and me which was a lovely surprise! Thank you Tom!  Highest recommendation!

I had a very nice Harry Potter tour in Oxford, where our group was guided by Michiel van Hout. The centre of Oxford is very beautiful and has a rich history. I enjoyed this tour very much, especially since Michiel is highly knowledgeable and tells the stories in a very fun way. He is very open and answers questions elaborately. Also, he introduced interactive sessions, where he gave us (multiple choice) questions which all participants could answer. After everyone (who wanted) gave their answer, all answers where discussed and we learned which answer was correct and why. It became clear where J.K. Rowling obtained her inspiration for many characters in her novels. For those participants (children) who hadn’t read all Harry Potter books yet, he gave a little warning to avoid spoilers. As an extra, I also learned a lot about writers like Lewis and Tolkien. I had a very enjoyable and interesting afternoon and learned a lot about J.K. Rowling and her novels/movies. Highly recommended! Thank you, Michiel!

We had a fantastic time learning so much about Oxford University and some of the famous alumni, including CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien with Andrianna Basser!  She was thoughtful and very knowledgeable about the areas of interest and went above and beyond to show us many beautiful and unique things about the compilations of the university and some of our favorite authors!  Thank you Andrianna!!!

Having previously done an Inklings tour, I thought i knew what to expect. Our guide, Tom, blew through those expectations very quickly. His knowledge of CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien was encyclopedic, and his ability to weave stories, dates, and places into an interesting narrative was unmatched. Our party of four included one librarian and three avid readers, all with a better-than-average knowledge of these two giants of twentieth century literature. This created a scintillating conversation in which each of us learned many interesting things. As an added treat, two of our group are into Harry Potter, and Tom was equally well versed in that world. The time flew by, and we were all surprised (and delighted) that our tour had gone well past our allotted time. Thanks Tom!.

We did the Oxford Harry Potter Insights Tour with Matias as our guide, and it was a fantastic experience. His knowledge was truly impressive: between anecdotes about J.K. Rowling, behind-the-scenes trivia from the films, and stories about Oxford's other famous writers (Tolkien, Lewis, Carroll), every stop had something interesting to share. Matias perfectly balanced anecdotes about Harry Potter with stories about Oxford and university life, which were exactly the two things we were most interested in. Highly recommended!
