5.00We did the walking tour with Peter and we learned all about the history of the town and of course William Shakespeare. Peter was very knowledgeable and friendly, and the tour was just the right amount of time.
A really interesting walk

5.00Very professional. We liked that Peter moved the tour at a hood clip and didn’t drag it out. He highlighted the interesting sites and stories and moved on. Deck trot recommend.
