    We really enjoyed this tour, Mel our tour guide was lovely and was full of knowledge about Morse, Lewis and Endeavour as well as lots of interesting facts about Oxford. Our only disappointment was that the tour wasn't long enough as we could have listened to Mel for another couple of hours at least.

    Very easy going tour. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable. She was an absolute Morse geek! Brilliant little pieces of insider knowledge. We had a great time and would completely recommend this tour. It was marginally more expensive than some, but well worth it.
