Leigh gave a very enjoyable Morse Lewis and Endeavour tour on Saturday 22nd October 2022. The weather was also excellent for the time of year. In addition to the TV Dramas there was some very interesting history around the Colleges and other monuments. The only reason I would not give everything a full marks 5/5 is that we spent the first half hour listening to the introduction at Martyr's Memorial where the traffic was at it's loudest (No headsets were available). Some of the introduction was linked to episodes that featured places later in the tour so could have avoided standing on the spot for so long! Otherwise first class and Leigh was a very engaging & personable guide. Thankyou so much Ps The next day we went back to see the outside of Exeter College where the great man Inspector Morse suffered his unfortunate demise and a very kind member of staff allowed me in to the hallowed turf! A very generous gesture and put the icing...
Read more'Morse, Lewis, Endeavour Walking Tour' Excellent tour! A 'must' if you visit Oxford. Our guide Elizabeth was friendly and knowledgeable with an engaging and enthusiastic presenting style.

After the tour we visited a couple of the watering holes pointed out by Elizabeth. We would have missed 'The Turf' had we not done the tour! My sister and I would happily do the tour again! Thank...
Read moreDespite less than glorious weather, I did this tour based on the Morse, Lewis, Endeavour TV series with our excellent guide Heidi on 17 May/ It was possibly the best guided tour in any city that I have ever taken part in! Her knowledge of the "content" and the ease with which we were guided around the area, with detailed descriptions of the buildings appearing in different episodes - no mean feat - but also the information about the actors and links between the different stories, most of which I would never have worked out for myself! Even a non-Morse person would have been interested in hearing about the tricks of the trade turning derelict doors into enticing fake premises! If I ever find I am going to Oxford again I think I shall book the same tour if possible, well worth...
