Oxford audio tour from best-selling author and time served tour guide receives five-star rating

History enthusiasts and visitors to Oxford are enjoying a new downloadable audio tour created by best-selling author and experienced tour guide, Lita Doolan.

The ‘Kings & Conflict on Saxon Soil’ audio tour is designed to help visitors to Oxford uncover the fascinating historical royal links of this iconic city and is the first audio tour of its kind.  It has also been launched at the same time as Oxford University’s audio tour, so there are plenty of opportunities for visitors to discover more about Oxford.

The self-guided tour follows in the footsteps of kings that have walked the streets of the city and includes known haunts of Henry the VIII, King Charles I during the civil war and the last Saxon King, Edmund Ironside’s demise within the city walls.

Listeners can also discover the role that the famous colleges played in supporting the monarchy by melting down their silverware for armour during the civil war and find out more about an elite celebration held to mark the capture of Napoleon who later escaped.

Literature lovers can also benefit from the audio tour and discover the touching tale of Prince Leopold’s love of the Alice in Wonderland stories as they stroll through the gardens the character played in.

The Oxford audio tour is the brainchild of time served Oxford tour guide, Amazon best-selling author and winner of an Oxford Playhouse writing award, Lita Doolan. Her passion for history and flair for the written word have led her new audio tour to receive five-star reviews from city visitors who have enjoyed uncovering the history of Oxford’s iconic buildings and winding streets.

She said “After ten years providing walking tours to visitors to this wonderful city, I wanted to use my knowledge and writing skills to create a totally self-guided audio experience of Oxford.

The feedback I’ve received on the audio tour has been amazing, so I’m urging anyone planning a trip to Oxford to enjoy the tour and really make the most of their visit.”

The full audio tour lasts forty minutes and is available to download from on the Apple app store or Google Play with three free preview tracks available to try out before purchasing.
