Tour a piedi di Oxford CS Lewis e JRR Tolkien
Descrizione
Visitare Oxford a piedi è il modo migliore per vederlo, soprattutto se sei un fan degli scrittori più famosi di Oxford, i membri fondatori di The Inklings. Unisciti a questo CS Lewis e Tolkien Tour di 2 ore e scopri di più sulla vita e il lavoro di questi scrittori. Entrambi gli ex studenti dell'Università di Oxford Lewis e Tolkien sono rispettivamente noti per la serie Narnia e la trilogia de Lo Hobbit e Il Signore degli Anelli. Durante il tour potrai vedere l'Exeter College, dove studiò Tolkien e la Chiesa dell'Università dove Lewis predicò nella seconda guerra mondiale e conoscere i college in cui insegnarono. Inoltre, passerai davanti al pub Eagle & Child, dove gli Inklings si incontravano ogni martedì, per parlare del loro lavoro. Scopri di più sui loro stili di scrittura unici e sulla loro influenza. Questo è sicuramente un salto indietro nel tempo e ti darà un'idea di come era Oxford all'inizio del XX secolo, e ovviamente anche prima. Essendo la città delle guglie sognanti, l'architettura è ancora sorprendente fino ad oggi!

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.
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!
