CS Lewis & Tolkien Tour with Magdalen Entry Public tour 11.45am
Oxford (United Kingdom)
Location
This tour typically lasts 2 hours to 2.5 hours and it includes entry to Magdalen college, where CS Lewis taught. If Magdalen is ever closed, we will replace with entry to Exeter college, where Tolkien studied.
This tour introduces both these famous writers and their lives here in Oxford plus offers insights into what life is like as an Oxford academic.
Magdalen entry fee worth £10 per person is included.
NOTICE: any known closures for Magdalen college will be published under the What's Excluded section.
Please note that Magdalen only permits entry to up to 10 persons with guide before we must instead pre book with Magdalen. Thus, if you book at very short notice, you may instead be asked to do private tour.

- These tours MUST START ON TIME as wherever possible, we pre purchase entry tickets for fixed entry times at Christchurch. If you arrive after the tour has started, you will unfortunately therefore lose your booking. Please arrive 5 minutes early for your tour at our meeting point. If you arrive more than 5 minutes later than the scheduled tour, then you will likely forfeit and lose your booking as it interrupts the guide and other customers, if we are trying to find you after a guide has started and left the meeting point. IMPORTANT NOTICE IN CASE OF UNFORESEEN PARTIAL OF FULL CLOSURES: NB if we might offer you a Saturday morning tour to Christchurch, then while we can visit the HP film sites at Christchurch, we cannot usually show you the dining hall, as it is closed at this time. We do publish known Christchurch closures on this website page & we will advise of any closures at the time of booking or before the tour but occasionally some closures are last minute. In this event, our policy is either the guide can substitute entry for Christchurch to another college such as eg New college (also a Hogwarts film site). Alternatively, you may opt to reschedule your tour onto another date or to instead join one of our other tours running the same date such as the Oxford cycle tour of food tour (which cost approximately same). REFUNDS POLICY: If you opt to book a foreign language private group tour, this may be possible if you give us adequate advance notice of at least 24 hours. If we cannot offer a tour in a foreign language, then you will be refunded or invited to join the tour in English with any cost difference refunded. Christchurch Dining hall only is closed on following dates 2020 (the tour will go ahead as the hall is NOT the film site anyway): April 24 May 9 Oct 4 + Oct 9 While very rare, the film sites are private university and college venues, on very rare occasions they may suddenly close to the public without any advance notice!
