    Excellent walking tour with very knowledge school teacher who showed us the historical buildings and explained their significance. Of course much of the tour covered shakespeare and his family which I found very interesting.

    We were 15 minutes late and our amazing tour guide waited for it before starting. We were thankfully the only two people booked into the tour on this morning. We both forgot his name but he was well informed, gave great insight into Shakespeare and the history of Stratford Upon Avon and overall very personable to pleasant to walk around with. Would recommend.

    We were taken round Stratford upon avon by our lovely, friendly, happy guide called Peter! What a great guy! Super sense of humour, professional and full of great local information. We saw alot of key historic places that we wouldnt have seen if we had just gone round Stratford on our own. We enjoyed it so much. Thanks for a great time!

    Peter our guide was very informative & took us on a leisurely walk around the town. So many interesting places & history which you could easily miss without a professional guide. Highly recommend. 👍
