Hi Ruth, We would only offer a tour entering all three film sites as a private tour request and for the following reasons below. Going to just New college & Divinity school film sites regular tour lasts 90-120 minutes Going to just Christchurch & Divinity school film sites regular tour lasts 2 hours+ So to cover all three film sites, we would need more like 3 hours. In my view, even the most interesting guide, three hours is somewhat long for a guided tour as few people's attention spans last over 2 hours. I used to be a teacher for 20 years and learned this fact early on! The other main reason why running a tour to all three film sites can be complicated is because the chances of even one of the three film sites being closed on any given day is much higher than if we only run the regular tour to go into just two film sites. Indeed, as per description in our advertising, we can never guarantee entry into the Divinity school film site as that venue can suddenly close to the public so we only include entry to it, as and when open only. What I do guarantee when you book a tour is that if you book either New college tour or book Christchurch tour, on any dates that we then learn that the film site at given college may be closed, I will invite you to reschedule or claim a refund. My view is that it's best we offer the either New college or Christchurch tour options as New college tour is approx. half the cost but is our default main tour with group sizes going up to as large as 19 persons, whereas Christchurch tour is typically very small groups as it needs to be to actually effectively enter Christchurch and hear the guide adequately on a guided tour group. So in summary, I suggest book either our New college or our Christchurch public tour and then make your own arrangements to see the third venue before or after joining our tour...or contact me with details of your numbers and availability to request to book a private group tour lasting 3 hours to enter all three venues. Opening hours of the film sites are currently as follows: New college open 1.30pm-4.30pm Tuesdays to Saturdays only from mid October to mid March every winter. New college open 10am-5pm every day from mid March to mid October every summer. Divinity school open daily 10am (11am on Sundays) until 5pm. Christchurch open daily from approx. 10am to last entry approx. 11.15am, then open again from 2pm to last entry 4.15pm for 5pm closure every day year round. However, Sundays, Christchurch does not open until 2pm and most Saturdays, the dining hall won't be open to view until 2pm. Final advice: Christchurch is not ideal for guided tours which is why we charge approx. double the cost to deliver tours there as we need to incentivise you to instead book the New college tour. Christchurch had over 400,000 visitors in 2019. So expect to join a potentially very long queue to enter Christchurch unless you have pre purchased advance entry tickets. This is what I do, as and when we have advance bookings for Christchurch tours. However, these advance tickets only go on sale online every Thursday evening for the coming week from Monday to Sunday and the number of tickets are limited plus if there is even any partial closure at Christchurch, then currently they will not publish any online tickets ie you have to just buy tickets on the day at the Christchurch visitor centre. When clients book our Christchurch tour at only a few days notice, then we also cannot buy any advance entry tickets as they have especially in half term school holidays or from May to early September, already sold out online within hours of going on sale. If you are wanting to book a large group of 15+ persons to visit Christchurch or of 20+ persons to visit New college, then please also note that you absolutely need to book advance entry. New college usually manages with a few days notice only but booking any large group to Christchurch for summer 2020, you should be booking that by early 2020 as all large group bookings there can be reserved already months in advance. New college and the Divinity school venues are much simpler to visit- one just turns up and pays at the gate on arrival. Personally as guides, we prefer New college over Christchurch every time as it's older, more relaxed and much less crowded. If your main motivation to visit Christchurch is to see the dining hall, then please note that the dining hall is NOT a film site. The staircase and the cloisters are its film sites. New college has an older and just as impressive dining hall without all the human queue to see its hall. Sincerely, Alasdair, director, Visit Oxford Tours Ltd

Hi. I could arrange a taxi transfer for you to Highclere but we don't currently offer our own guided tours there. It is a project we are looking at doing. Two of my guides are also taxi drivers. So if you wanted me to check if either of these guides are available on Aug 20th to collect you and take you there, I will do but how many adults or children (how old) are you? Plus where would you need collected from- Oxford city or outside of city? Can you start at eg 10am or at eg 1pm? What I do currently offer are half day or whole day Cotswolds tours, costing £300 or £400 to book guide and driver from either 10am or from 1pm till 6pm. If that may interest you, let me know. I can be reached directly on tours()iloveoxford()com or (44)7955482637 or click on my website link on my profile

Excellent question! To be frank, I was marketing literary tours, eccentric Oxford tours, Mad Hatter Alice themed tours for 5 years before I decided to advertise 'Harry Potter' tours. I actually am much more interested in introducing Oxford's other more relevant literary and historic heritage, so please don't worry, these tours do cater to ALL interests.
