Fall in love with the city's revered colleges, whimsical spires and languidly-flowing river, and imagine what life was like when Lewis and Tolkein roamed the streets. On this tour you'll not only learn the history of the city, but you'll also hear intriguing tales of what the two authors got up to in their time here, visiting sights which inspired their writing and maybe sampling a tipple at their favorite pubs.
