Fabulous walking tour - We were taken round Stratford upon avon by our lovely, friendly, happy guide called Peter! What a great guy! Super sense of humour, professional and full of great local information. We saw alot of key historic places that we wouldnt have seen if we had just gone round Stratford on our own. We enjoyed it so much. Thanks for a great time!

Great way to initially explore the lovely town of Stratford Upon Avon - We had an informative 100 minute tour of the lovely town of Stratford Upon Avon. We were guided by Peter who was fun and informative. We were blessed with some unexpected decent weather which was a plus too. We did a loop through the town stopping off at various interesting locations and finishing at the RSC building, Peter explained a number of things covering the history of Shakespeare and the town.
