Any fans of the Morse TV show will know that there are four important ingredients to understanding Inspector Morse: He is fond of music, striking women, pubs and of course Oxford. On this tour, your guide will inspire you in Morse's Oxford, introducing not just film sites and anecdotes from Morse, Lewis and Endeavour but also describing the intriguing and not always agreeable relationship between Oxford city and university.

Locations you will see may vary from tour to tour as the colleges of Oxford University are private institutions and as Morse knows, they like to have the final word on what's accessible from one day to the next but usually the tour would visit inside Exeter College and one other college or inside the Divinity School at the Bodleian Library, which is one of the most stunning architectural features of Oxford University.

The tour finishes with an invitation to join your guide and group for a drink in one of Oxford's most historic pubs and a common sighting place for Morse shows.

*Please note: Entry included to Christ Church unless closed for any reason. The local provider will try to advise of any closures at the time of booking or before the tour but some closures are last minute. In this event your guides will endeavour to visit inside an alternative college.

In 1987 John Thaw hit the British TV screens as the iconic Inspector Morse and Oxford has not been the same since! A total of 33 episodes were filmed over a period of thirteen years on the streets of Oxford (although a couple were not filmed in Oxford). The years 2006 – 2015 were the Lewis era, during which Lewis and Hathaway tried to make the streets of Oxford safe. We now have the prequel, Endeavour, and a fourth series is about to air in the UK. On this 2-hour small-group walking tour, your specialist and fully qualified guides who have witnessed the filming will be delighted to show you some of the scenes, although they cannot promise to cover over 80 hours of filming in just two hours!

Meet your fully qualified guide at Martyrs' Memorial on St Giles, central Oxford. You will spend comprehensive two hours together exploring the Oxford of Morse, Lewis and Endeavour.
