Hoteller i nærheden af Oxford CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien Walking Tour
Beskrivelse
At besøge Oxford til fods er den bedste måde at se det på, især hvis du er fan af Oxfords mest kendte forfattere, grundlæggerne af The Inklings. Deltag i denne 2-timers CS Lewis og Tolkien-tur og lær mere om disse forfatteres liv og arbejde. Både Oxford University-alumner Lewis og Tolkien er henholdsvis kendt for Narnia-serien og Hobbitten og Ringenes Herre-trilogien. Under turen vil du være i stand til at se Exeter College, hvor Tolkien studerede og University Church, hvor Lewis prædikede i 2. verdenskrig og høre om de colleges, hvor de underviste. Desuden går du forbi pubben Eagle & Child, hvor The Inklings plejede at mødes hver tirsdag, for at tale om deres arbejde. Opdag mere om deres unikke skrivestile og deres indflydelse. Dette er bestemt et spring tilbage i tiden, og det vil give dig et glimt af, hvordan Oxford plejede at være i begyndelsen af det 20. århundrede, og selvfølgelig tidligere. Da den er byen med drømmespirer, er arkitekturen stadig fantastisk den dag i dag!

Very interesting walking tour! Learned quite a bit about Oxford and the colleges as well as CS Lewis and Tolkien! Guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.
Thanks for the review of your CS Lewis & JRR Tolkien Walking Tour. We are pleased you enjoyed the tour and appreciate your feedback.
This tour was an absolute delight! We’re a family of Lewis and Tolkien enthusiasts, and Becca was the perfect guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and delightfully nerdy in all the right ways. Her love for Oxford was evident throughout the tour, and we learned not only about Lewis and Tolkien but also about the rich history of the city and the university. Most importantly, she kept our whole family engaged—including our Gen Z kids. Their verdict at the end was, “Becca rocks socks!” Apparently, that is the highest possible praise.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review of your walking tour. We are delighted your whole family enjoyed the tour and appreciate the very kind words about your guide Becca.

This was a great tour for Tolkien and Lewis fans! Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the writers and Oxford in general (she was an Oxford grad). I learned a ton and had a lot of fun! I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to learn a little more about these writers or the history of Oxford.

The C.S. Lewis & J.R.R. Tolkien tour was absolutely excellent. Our guide, Tim, shared a wealth of fascinating stories and took us to many meaningful locations connected to Tolkien. Although our group was small, it was wonderfully engaging—each of us already had some knowledge of Tolkien and Lewis, yet we all came away having learned something new. Please do pass on my thanks to Tim for such an enjoyable and memorable experience.

The tour was excellent! As a lifelong Tolkien and Lewis fan it was amazing to walk the streets they did, see the places they frequented, and places that inspired some of their work. The guide Becca was very knowledgeable and did a great job explaining the significance of the different places we visited. I would take this tour again, and bring friends next time!
