5.00A really interesting walking tour of Stratford with a very knowledgeable local guide. We have been to Stratford a number of times before and this was the first time we had a guided tour. We learnt a lot about Stratford that we hadn’t been aware of beware. With only 4 of us, it was like a personal tour.
Really interesting tour
