Excursão a pé por Oxford CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien
Descrição
Visitar Oxford a pé é a melhor maneira de vê-lo, especialmente se você é fã dos escritores mais conhecidos de Oxford, os membros fundadores do The Inklings. Participe desta excursão de 2 horas por CS Lewis e Tolkien e saiba mais sobre a vida e o trabalho desses escritores. Ambos os ex-alunos da Universidade de Oxford, Lewis e Tolkien, são respectivamente conhecidos pela série Nárnia e pela trilogia O Hobbit e O Senhor dos Anéis. Durante o passeio, você poderá ver o Exeter College, onde Tolkien estudou e a Igreja da Universidade, onde Lewis pregou na Segunda Guerra Mundial e ouvir sobre as faculdades onde eles ensinaram. Além disso, você passará pelo pub Eagle & Child, onde os Inklings costumavam se reunir todas as terças-feiras, para falar sobre seu trabalho. Descubra mais sobre seus estilos de escrita únicos e sua influência. Este é definitivamente um salto no tempo e lhe dará um vislumbre de como Oxford costumava ser no início do século 20 e, claro, antes. Sendo a Cidade dos Pináculos dos Sonhos, a arquitetura ainda é impressionante até hoje!

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.

Richard was a wonderfully nice guide, he was flexible toward what we were most interested in and gave very detailed and interesting information. We got to see the most relevant places of interest in Oxford and helped decide what we would visit next.

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!
