We really enjoyed this walking tour, a great introduction to the town of Stratford-upon-Avon. Peter was a very friendly and good guide, full of interesting information, and ready to answer any questions. He gave us good advice on which restaurants to try out.
Peter was such a lovely gentleman and very knowledgeable. We throughly enjoyed his company. Got to see parts of Stratford upon Avon we wouldn’t have seen if we didn’t do this tour! Highly recommended.
This was a very enjoyable walking tour around Stratford Upon Avon, Rachel was very knowledgeable and friendly. Great delivery and would highly recommend this tour.
Excellent way to see a bit of Stratford upon Avon. Peter was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide. Weather was good which made it very enjoyable. At about 1 hour 45 mins was just about right. Highly recommended.
Great tour. Very informative. Our guide was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He also recommended places to eat and drink.
We had a great time with our tour guide Peter today. Peter was really knowledgeable and had lots of interesting facts and recommendations for us. We were the only couple on the tour so we're able to ask lots of questions 😊
Very informative and fun at the same time took us places we wouldn't have visited on our own. The guide was very good at the job
Pete our guide was very well informed and very good company.
Peter was a good guide with a wealth of knowledge. Sometime hard to hear over external noises but overall worth while doing.
Excellent tour. Accessible friendly. Kate, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and really brought the tour to life. Plenty of anecdotes and amusing stories. Highly recommend.
This was such a good introduction to Stratford upon Avon. Peter was friendly and knowledgeable and gave us a good insight to the town. Peter showed us points of interest and give lots of helpful information to get the most out of our visit. I highly recommend this trip for anyone visiting Stratford Upon Avon for the first time as we saw places we would have missed if we tried to do this without Peters expert knowledge.
Peter is an amazing guide, really engaging and funny, even under pouring rainy weather. He explained both historical and local interesting facts and gave us a lot of recommendations for lunch, pints and more. Highly recommended!! And cheers to Peter.
Knowledgeable guide, interesting route in Stratford showing places not usually visited. Leaned a lot and enjoyed guide’s descriptions.
Very pleasant Lady. Very informative and thoughtful. £12 each good value
This 2as a really enjoyable experience.Our guide was excellent, friendly and experienced. We covered a fair bit of ground and learned a lot. Overall a lovely walk.
Peter is an excellent guide welcoming enthusiastic and very knowledgeable.Definitely worth to introduce yourself to Stratford upon Avon and Shakespeare’s rich history. Dog friendly as well!
Informative tour. Seasoned local. Glad we took your to get oriented to town. However, you then have to circle back to every site buy tickets to enter. And you need to get tickets ahead of time or else you risk no tour space like at RSC theater. We also misjudged how to plan your get to Hathaways cottage. Thus, I’d say to others it’s important to have a game plan before arrival if only there for day. We didn’t quite appreciate how this tour ate into our overall time and then repeating the tour route. For example, we weren’t clear whether we need a tickets to go in to see Shakespeare’s grave at the church and if not, why didn’t we just pop in to see his grave as part of the tour instead of having to walk all the way back to the church again.
It was an interesting and informative tour of the streets of Stratford upon Avon. Good value for money.
Rachel was an engaging, kind, and knowledgeable tour guide. We were stressed from running a few minutes late (plan lots of time for parking!), but she was very understanding and gracious. Excellent tour—highly recommend!
Our guide was very knowledgeable with his dead-pan delivery of stories of Who, What, When, Why, Where etc. Weather was extremely hot but he did his best to find shaded areas opposite the buildings he was telling us about. His stories were interestingly funny. He even pointed out some nice places to eat and drink. Definitely worth the money. Thank you.
Peter, our guide, was an absolute mine of information about the historical aspects of Shakespeare around the town but also mixed it up with historical facts about Stratford itself. A very entertaining hour and a half-would highly recommend.
We are a group of former workmates and we chose this walking tour instead of our normal Friday afternoon walk which we would have done on our annual walking weekend. Rachel was an excellent guide. She was very knowledgeable and friendly and gave us lots of information about the historic sites around Stratford-upon-Avon. We would certainly recommend this tour.
Our guide was great. He gave us lots of interesting facts and had a great sense of humor as well. Would highly recommend it!

Really knowledgeable guide. Multiple ages within our group and something for everyone. We did the 1.5 hr afternoon tour
Our walking tour was wonderful, Peter was waiting for us and told how the tour would go. Peter was both chatty and informative, we were not rushed and were able to stop at each point for just the right amount of time, Peter answered any questions we had, he is very knowlegable! He is great company, we loved our walking trip! And, to top it all, we got very lucky with the weather! 👌 😎
Had a great time with our guide, Peter. We learned a lot about Stratford-Upon-Avon and saw many things we probably wouldn't have seen. Peter was very informative, passionate with a great sense of humor. The pace of the walk is judged perfectly to see many things but still have time to talk about what we were seeing. Thoroughly recommend.
Our guide did a fine job! With 30+ years experience there was nothing he didn’t know about Stratford and Shakespeare. As well as his enthusiasm he was funny and entertaining. Thoroughly recommended
Great tour led by Peter. It was very relaxed, informative and even humerous at times. I strongly recommend this good value trip.

Superb walking tour with Rachel this morning, she is so knowledgeable and built a delightful rapport with her customers. Highly recommend
Peter was an entertaining guide. Just the right balance of history of the town with information about the Shakespeare family. Most enjoyable.
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.
Rachel was really knowledgable and gave us a great insight into Stratford. We would thoroughly recommend her and this company!
Our guide Peter was very personable and had a vast knowledge of Stratford upon Avon and Shakespeare.
Informative tour, mixing the history with other facts and tips for eateries etc. Rachel was very knowledgable. Would recommend this tour to all.
