This tour visits inside Holy Trinity Church but it does not visit inside his birthplace or the other Shakespeare homes. You will however have time to visit inside one or more of the Shakespeare homes before or after the tour. Some of our guides are themselves actors and so can add extra insight and character into highlighting the development of the theatre and acting industry in the time of Shakespeare.

Spectacular

Published on Oct, 2022

We booked a private tour with Mr Shakespeare for our family of five and it was the highlight of our two weeks in England! It really felt like we were walking and talking with a dear old friend, Mr Shakespeare. His stories were fantastic and we all laughed a lot. We saw several sights we would have missed trying to visit Stratford upon Avon on our own. Highly recommend to really bring the Bard and his stories to life! Perfect for kids, adults and anyone with a love for stories and history.
