5.00An excellent and informative walking tour, which included, but was not dominated by, William Shakespeare. Our guide showed us how to tell an original Tudor building from a later one built in that style, how to understand the wealth of a medieval family by the wood and external decorations of its home; how to launder clothes in the old way (with urine!) and where in Stratford to see lampposts donated by cities in Spain, New Zealand and Ireland (and many other countries). The tour tickets included useful discounts for other attractions.

5.00Beautiful walk around the town. Learnt so much. Grace was so informative, we struggled to take it all in. We'll probably be back in March so will try to book the tour again. Hopefully next time we won't get caught in a such a downpour.
Interesting tour of Stratford-Upon-Avon.

5.00Fantastic way to learn all things Shakespeare and his birthplace town. Josh with his interests in history and theatre really enhanced the experience and his knowledge of the town. I would highly recommend booking on the tour if you’re planning on visiting Stratford Upon Avon.
