Discovering the city of Shakespeare

5.00The guide, Owen, is a lovely person, very passionate and kind. The history of the city is deeply linked to its best known citizen, Shakespeare, and this is reflected in the main topic of this tour. It 'was interesting, the tour is not available in Italian, so I would recommend it to those who chew English well ;)
You gotta try this!

5.00So enjoyable. We came as a couple and we will grace by two guides. They were just the two of us so it essentially felt like a private tour. I love little facts about a town and its connection to Shakespeare. If you're in town for visit and you are Shakespeare fan, you absolutely have to book a walking tour. as someone who likes stories, you are absolutely going to appreciate the stories of the town. The town itself is a wonderful place without the storytelling and the narrativising, you'll be missing out so much of the juice that makes this town. By the way, if you book directly with them rather than on TripAdvisor it's two pounds cheaper.
