The experience
You start in London and travel by mini coach into the English countryside, heading to the villages and towns that have stood in for the fictional county of Midsomer across Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. The guide walks you through the real locations (the houses, churches, pubs and village greens) that have featured in the series since it first aired in 1997. Over the course of the day you see the settings that have hosted more than 250 episodes, each one tied to a particular murder plot or character moment from the show.
What sets this tour apart is the behind-the-scenes knowledge: the guide reveals why certain locations were chosen, what historical details make each place distinctive, and how the show's writers and producers used the real architecture and landscape to build the world of DCI John and Tom Barnaby. You're not just looking at a house or a church. You're learning what it actually is, why it matters to the story, and how it has changed (or stayed the same) since the cameras rolled. The tour runs 9 hours and finishes at Holland Park tube station, so you can head back into central London without arranging your own transport home.
Children from age 3 are welcome, though they must be accompanied by an adult. The tour operates on select dates during summer, and a moderate level of physical fitness is recommended since you'll be walking around villages and exploring the grounds of various locations. Service animals are allowed to travel with you.
