On this guided Inspector Morse Tour of Oxford, the old city is the backdrop to the on-screen drama. To many, Oxford has long been associated with its famous University. However, for fans, it is the murder capital of the world, where homicide, corruption, and vice run rife.
Oxford is the central setting for the Inspector Morse books and TV series. But also its spin-offs – Lewis and Endeavour. On the Morse Tour of Oxford, you will be able to take a closer investigation into the world of author Colin Dexter’s famous detective creation.
The 1-hour 45-minute tour covers locations from Morse, Lewis, and the most recent incarnation Endeavour. This resulted in these TV detective shows being enjoyed by audiences across the globe since the 1980s.
Your guide will share fascinating historical information about the colleges, pubs, streets, houses, and other places used in these shows. Your guide will also share interesting anecdotes on how the show and characters were developed.
Although the tour route varies slightly each week you will get to see locations familiar to from all 3 shows – Morse, Lewis, and Hathaway. The walk will focus on scenes filmed in the heart of the old city. On the Morse tour Oxford, you will see numerous places including The Randolph Hotel, the White Horse pub, and the Bodleian Library. Other sites include Broad Street, the Sheldonian Theatre and Exeter College, and many others.
