We typically finish the tour in front of the 'Nearly Headless NIck' statue outside entrance to Bodleian. We introduce the two film site venues at the Bodleian from outside and for anyone wishing to pay £2.50 per person to visit the Divinity school inside the Bodleian, they can do that after they say goodbye to the guide.
Guiding is no longer permitted inside the Divinity school anyway, so we have decided to remove entry from the tour and reduce the tour by £3.
Last entry to Divinity school for self guided entry is usually 4.45pm but check Bodleian website for any closures.
As for entering Duke Humfreys library, you can only see inside the library, if you book days or weeks in advance, the Bodleian library's own staff guided tours via Bodleian website.
