Wat een fantastische dag hebben we achter de rug! Vandaag was het eindelijk zover: de Midsomer Murders tour waar we al zo ontzettend lang naar uit hebben gekeken. Wat heeft deze dag onze verwachtingen overtroffen! Vanaf het moment dat we instapten, voelde het als een duik in de bekende televisieserie. We hebben de ene na de andere herkenbare locatie voorbij zien komen. Onze gids Rob bleek een ware wandelende encyclopedie; wat kan die man ontzettend veel vertellen! Hij deelde niet alleen de leukste ins en outs over de serie, maar trakteerde ons tussendoor ook nog eens op boeiende historische feitjes en anekdotes uit andere films. Zijn passie en gezelligheid maakten hem de perfecte gids. Deze geslaagde dag hebben we ook aan David, onze chauffeur te danken. Met het grootste gemak en een flinke dosis stuurmanskunst loodste hij ons volkomen veilig door de meest krappe Engelse straatjes. Het was een heerlijke, memorabele dag vol nostalgie en gezelligheid. Deze tour was het wachten meer dan waard!

Great tour! Wonderful, knowledgeable guide! Bad meet up details If you are fan of Midsomer Murders, this is a wonderful tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable about not only Midsomer, but many other British shows that filmed in the locations we visited. Lot of walking, so be prepared for that! Only issue is with the tour provider. Meet info says to meet in Front of a Starbucks at the location. NO STARBUCKS THERE!!! Guide says he has attempted to get tour provider to change that several times, but still not changed!!!!

The Midsomer filming location tour Both Eva and Michael were very accommodating and made us feel welcome on the tour. The tour was prompt, covered many of the series film locations and was very easy to be a part of. All aspects were catered for and I don't think anyone was unsatisfied with the day.

My favorite experience so far Just an amazing experience. I’m a huge midsomer murder fan but even if you aren’t it’s just so lovely to get out of the city and see all these tiny villages you wouldn’t get to see otherwise
