My wife and I had a phenomenal tour with Oxford Ecclesia Tours, and our guide was absolutely incredible — Colton Duncan, the current President of the C.S. Lewis Society. Our tour focused on J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, and every part of it — the walk through Oxford, the fascinating stories shared by Colton, and the city’s wonderful atmosphere — made the experience truly unforgettable. We couldn’t recommend it more highly! Thank you so much, Diogo and Rita

Our CS Lewis Tour of Oxford was extremely enjoyable! Esther, our guide, was knowledgeable , friendly and engaging. The tour was comprehensive, but didn’t skim over interesting history and details. We would highly recommend!

Great tour!! We learned so much about Lewis and Tolkien as well as some reformation history. Esther was patient with our many questions and her knowledge is encyclopedic.
