Oxford CS Lewis und JRR Tolkien Walking Tour
Beschreibung
Oxford zu Fuß zu besuchen ist der beste Weg, um es zu sehen, besonders wenn Sie ein Fan von Oxfords bekanntesten Schriftstellern sind, den Gründungsmitgliedern von The Inklings. Nehmen Sie an dieser 2-stündigen CS Lewis and Tolkien Tour teil und erfahren Sie mehr über das Leben und die Arbeit dieser Autoren. Lewis und Tolkien, Alumni der Oxford University, sind jeweils für die Narnia-Serie und die Trilogie Der Hobbit und Der Herr der Ringe bekannt. Während der Tour können Sie das Exeter College, wo Tolkien studiert hat, und die Universitätskirche, in der Lewis im 2. Weltkrieg predigte, sehen und mehr über die Colleges erfahren, an denen sie unterrichteten. Außerdem gehst du am Eagle & Child Pub vorbei, wo sich die Inklings jeden Dienstag trafen, um über ihre Arbeit zu sprechen. Erfahren Sie mehr über ihre einzigartigen Schreibstile und ihren Einfluss. Dies ist definitiv ein Sprung in die Vergangenheit und gibt Ihnen einen Eindruck davon, wie Oxford im frühen 20. Jahrhundert und natürlich früher war. Als Stadt der träumenden Türme ist die Architektur bis heute atemberaubend!

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.
It was nice exploring Oxford with a guide who knew about it’s stories.

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!
