Oxford has been the host to many classic movies and TV series over the years including being synonymous with 102 episodes of Inspector Morse, Lewis and Endeavour. The city and its historical university naturally lend itself as the inspiration and backdrop for many stories on screen.
Our expert and passionate guides will show you around the most famous landmarks that have been immortalised on screen, from the Radcliffe Camera in Emerald Fennel’s Saltburn to the Bodleian Library in Harry Potter, and share the titbits and anecdotes that filming in Oxford can bring.
Tread in Inspector Morse’s footsteps around the pubs of Oxford, follow Lyra (His Dark Materials) around the colleges, and eat with the vampires (A Discovery of Witches) in the historic Covered Market. Reflect on Merton College as the setting for Alan Bennett’s “The History Boys”.
Suitable for all ages, whether you are a “set-jetting” cinephile or just intrigued by filming locations, join up with those who enjoy spotting the landmarks regularly seen on film and TV.
Group sizes are limited to 20 people for your safety and comfort.
The city centre of Oxford is relatively flat, and our easy paced tours can be tailored for most visitors.
