About

The Midsomer Murders Tour will transport you into the charming yet sinister world familiar to DCI John and Tom Barnaby and uncover the real locations that have given the show its distinct character since it was first broadcast in 1997.

Starting in London you will head to the towns and villages of the deadly county of Midsomer whcih are actually situated across several English counties including Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire that have played a role in more than 250 suspicious deaths over the years in the first eight series alone.

On this 8 hours tour your day will be crammed with thatched cottages, Norman churches, pretty villages and quite a few murder spots featured since the show was first aired back in 1997. You’ll be getting on and off the bus a number of times so you can take pictures of the pretty locations or crime scenes, depending on your point of view.
