Tolkien, Lewis and the Inklings Oxford Tour
Explore the lives of two of Oxford's greatest writers, and their friendship, with an award-winning guide. On this tour we will follow in the footsteps of JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis. We will see where they studied, taught, lived, worshipped, lectured, wrote and - most importantly - drank with their friends the Inklings. Out of these friendships and conversations emerged Aslan, Gandalf and many other much-loved characters and stories. Both men became extremely famous in their lifetimes, but never gave up their day-jobs of teaching in the English department. We will explore CS Lewis's conversion to Christianity and late-life marriage to Joy Gresham, and hear about Tolkien's student pranks and life-long deep love for trees. We will end at the beautiful college of Magdalen, where Lewis taught for nearly 30 years and the Inklings met every Thursday. If you want to go inside it, you will need to pay the entrance fee, which is £9.50 adults/£8.50 concessions.

Oxford Ghost Tour - for private hauntings only!
Enjoy a guided tour of one of England's most famous medieval haunted cities. That's right!- for example, the curiously named 'New college' was founded in 1379, literally on top of the Black Death plague pits. So no shortage of spectral monks pay visits to the college. Then we have Sir Thomas Pembroke, the inspiration for Nearly Headless Nick, who has a statue (with his head on) welcoming the youth and the souls past to make use of the eery rooms of the Bodleian library, founded in the 1400s. Plus learn some urban legends about Oxford's rogues, shady characters and the famous female convict who was sentenced to death but miraculously survived the gallows to live to tell her tale. Be brave and join us for a night of magic and ghoulish stories and end at a historic pub to watch the latest version of the town versus the gown waging battle of intellect and fists sometimes too!

Cotswolds One Day Guided Cycle Tour - Private Groups
You will see more scenic beauty & experience nature better on a bike tour than by car. This tour is delivered only by myself, Alasdair and my local colleagues. I am the business owner of Visit Oxford Tours. However, for insurance purposes, these tours are actually booked to be conducted privately via myself as a self employed sole trader offering you a personal service. They are not delivered as a product delivered by Visit Oxford Tours Ltd. This legal distinction will be reconfirmed in writing whenever any booking is received. Default itinerary is 10am to 5.30pm. The Cotswolds is a scenic part of England located only 10 minutes by train from Oxford or less than 30 minutes tax ride from Oxford. Oxford is only 60 minutes from London Paddington station. It's my pleasure to share these sights & heritage with you on an active cycling tour. Participants must be fit and aged 14+ as the Cotswolds roads are lots of up and down cycling but the scenery plus the villages here are beautiful.
