Enjoyable tour

4.00Peter's humour and knowledge. It gave me a taste to find out more. The only improvent I would make would be to actually go into the chuch.
A Great History told very accessibly!!

5.00The 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!
Tabitha was a wonderful...

4.00We both enjoyed the tour and found it educational. We had some difficulty finding the meeting point. My one recommendation for our guide would be to move the stop-and-talk portions to the shady side of the streets on sunny warm days.
