Overview

Private tour – just you with your fun and informative guide. Learn more about how Shakespeare lived, worked and spent his time in London. Your fun and informative guide will take you to the places where the great bard drank, prayed and acted. Visit Southwark Cathedral, Borough Market as well as Sam Wanamaker's wonderful Globe Theatre for their interesting in-house tour.  Tour includes admission to the official Globe Theatre tour. Each tour guest receives a copy of some of the Bard's famous expressions/sayings.

Itinerary

  • Shakespeare's Globe Theatre

    The original Globe existed a short two blocks away from Sam Wanamaker's wonderful replica. Your guide will take you to the original site as well as escort you into the Globe where you will enjoy the official in-house tour of the Globe. Fascinating!

    1 hour

  • Golden Hinde

    This is a life-size model of the original Golden Hinde that Sir Francis Drake sailed around the world in 1577. He was commissioned by Queen Elizabeth who was both Drake's and Shakespeare's queen.

    10 minutes

  • South Bank

    Our tour takes place in what Londoners call SOUTH BANK. In Shakespeare's time this was the " Las Vegas " of London where activities such as bull-baiting and theatre could legally take place, unlike in the CITY of London on the other side of the Thames, where the puritan city fathers considered theatre to be the " work of the devil".

    3 hours

  • Winchester Palace

    The ruins are here and it was the Bishop of Winchester who was the owner of all the land on South Bank at the time, including the pubs, the brothels and the theatres as well.

    10 minutes

  • Southwark Cathedral

    Will Shakespeare and his brother Edmond ( who is buried here ) both would have worshipped here. Today, the Cathedral has a very active Church of England congregation and is where many community concerts, etc. take place. Your guide will how you the Harvard University chapel as well as the beautiful Shakespeare stained-glass window.

    45 minutes

  • Borough Market

    Our guide will take you into London's famous Borough Market, which goes back to Elizabethan times and is a place that Shakespeare would undoubtedly have been familiar with, as for may years he lived in the area. Today, you will find everything from gourmet coffee to organic vegetables to tasty takeaways.
