Excellent tour and tour guide - Tabitha was an excellent tour guide! We had our tour during the height of the Christmas season, so there were several large markets and large crowds of people everywhere, but she was able to maneuver through it all seamlessly and still show us all the big sights. She was also able to answer all of our questions, whether about Shakesepeare or other aspects of the town. We had a lovely time!

Stratford Upon Avon daily tour - Worth every penny !And the man who took us on tour was called Peter full of energy and enthusiasm. He took a photo of group at the end of the tour and I presume for the website. 😊👌

A Great History told very accessibly!! - The entire time we were with Peter the information came thick and fast with a great deal of humour! At the end we felt like we had been shown as much of Shakespeare's town, relating to William and his family, as can be seen from the street. Thoroughly recommend this walk and Peter! We will definitely do this again when we revisit in the Spring!
