Our guide, Pete, was delightful. The pace of the walk was great and he didn’t mind pauses for photos and questions. He’s a very kind and friendly guy and is very well informed about and proud of his home. Recommend this tour!

Peter our guide was brilliant. Interesting tour with history, key buildings, etc, all around the time. Just the right length of time too, not too long but we saw everything.
Enjoyable tour

Peter'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.

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!
