Overview

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.

Bodleian Library

The Bodleian Library is one of the most amazing places to visit in Oxford, seen in both "A Discovery of Witches" and "Harry Potter" it's a library whose magic is all its own. Mentioned numerous times throughout the All Souls Trilogy, and seen in "A Discovery of Witches" (sadly we cannot access the Selden End of the Library, which is seen in "A Discovery of Witches" but this should not deter visitors as the rest of the Library is still a sight to behold!) visiting the library is full of all the quaint charm and scholarly stiffness that you would expect from the book and TV series.
