The minute we watched "A Discovery of Witches", we fell in love with the characters, the setting, and the story. We already loved Oxford, the city of dreaming spires, and we rushed out to buy the whole trilogy of books in the series. From this, our "A Discovery of Witches"/All Souls Trilogy tour was born.
Our "A Discovery of Witches"/ All Souls Trilogy Tour takes the hassle out of discovering the best locations from the hit TV series and the books. Our guide, who is a qualified member of the Oxford Guild of Tour Guides, will show you Matthew and Diana's Oxford and explain how Deborah Harkness created the book series from her experience of visiting Oxford and studying at Keble College.
During the tour, we will explain the history of the locations you visit, detail any unique points of interest, and explain how these locations relate to both the books and TV series.
Pickup included
Elias Ashmole the founder of this world-famous museum features as a historical figure in the Discovery of Witches series. Who was Elias Ashmole? What did he do? And is Ashmole 782 real and if so where is it?
Located opposite the Bodleian Library and the Sheldonian Theatre, Blackwell's is a bookshop not to be missed. This Aladdin's cave of learning offers every type of book that an Oxford University student, staff member, or visiting lecturer might wish for. Mentioned as the place where Diana goes for her lunch, we will give you time to explore Blackwells and purchase as many books as take your fancy!
Exeter College is one of the filming locations for series one of "A Discovery of Witches". This beautiful college is where Matthew and Diana can be seen walking together, with the college's chapel behind them. Whilst here we can spend time recreating the scene so that you have an extra special photo to take home with you, as well as discussing the famous alumni of the college who include the literary giants J. R. R. Tolkien, Alan Bennett, and Philip Pullman.
