Excellent walking tour. - A 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.

Very good overview of the... - Very good overview of the town, its history as a market place and of course the birthplace of Shakespeare and its continuing fame as the home of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. You will get a good sense of the town’s layout and see the most visited sites. You will not enter any of those sites, so save time in your day to backtrack and visit.
