Oxford History Tours

The Real Walk and Talk I started welcoming travellers and organising itineraries while living in deep rural southern France.

In 2009 I co-founded Cathar Country Tours which offered top drawer tours about the Albigensian Crusade and the Langue d’Oc. While I wove the itineraries, curated the restaurants and ensured a seamless experience for our guests, my partner delivered a second to none historical tour of the region’s history. I realised that some of the travellers who approached me knew the work of local authors who w

ere friends and acquaintances of ours. Experts in their field and connoisseurs of France, they included Richard Stanley, Henry-Lincoln, Rupert Soskin and Tim Wallace-Murphy. With these local friends and acquaintances I created opportunities for authors and readers to meet and discover the region’s scenes of famous historic events together. Today I bring my infectious enthusiasm and local knowledge to Oxford. With Oxford History Tours you can be sure that your experience will be carefully crafted and accompanied by an experienced guide, an expert in their field. An Art History and History BA hons, an Associate of the British Institute of Tourist Guiding and a member of the British Guild of Tourist Guides Sophie is also an ITG certified French speaking guide.

Bed and Breakfast at Christ Church!

When clients gasp at Christ Church I usually remember to tell them about the extraordinary following...

In all the Oxford Colleges students who avail themselves of college accommodation have to pack up their suitcases and find somewhere to go because the holidays are used to raise money for the colleges with summer schools, conferences and whatever enterprise works for a college.

A number of the most gorgeous colleges offer Bed and Breakfast including Christ Church.

Curious and wonderful places to stay for more information.

It is here that worshipped most days for his adult life.

If Tolkein had come to Oxford before 1870, as a catholic he would not have been awarded his degree nor allowed to become a fellow of a college.

There are many nuances on the theme of Jonah and the whale in the brief revival of leaded glass under the reign if Charles I.

Considered suitably contemplative and low on the miracle factor for Reformation sensibilities.

I an think of four which have survived unrul today by the same artist from the 'low lands '

Was a little late for the RSC last night but they got us in.

Merry Wives of Windsor was fabulous.
So wonderful to have stalls and fabulous staging.

Shakespeare just gets better and better like acquired tastes can. Not beer!

Loved loved loved. Not been there since my twenties. Driving through the historic centre so Tudor it could have been Disneyworld.

Three stages less than an hour from Oxford.

I'm doing that again!
