Highly recommended

Published on Dec, 2024

This really is an excellent way to get round Stratford and see everything you need to see. The guide was actually better than expected as you just switch it on at the start and then forget about it! The commentary starts again each time you reach a new point of interest. So you don’t need to keep getting it out of your pocket to look at, or start, the next bit. That is a real big plus! The directions are spot on and the commentary is very interesting, with plenty of detail on Shakespeare and relevant buildings. We were in no rush and took in lots along the way and so it took about 3 hours to complete, on which basis I would highly recommend this as a perfect introduction to Stratford, and superb value for the price.

Enjoyed this self guided tour. Good interesting information on all the important tourist places. For the most part, directions easy to get from each to the next location. Good value for money.

Fun way to learn about Shakespeare and see the heart of Stratford

Published on Jun, 2024

Easy to use, entertaining and informative. I preferred this method of touring to a group tour. Could go at my own pace and pause the tour and make side trips when I wanted.
