What an incredible experience at Shakespeare's Globe! Our tour guide was absolutely exceptional. He brought the Globe to life with fascinating stories about the original playhouse, Shakespeare's works, and what it was like to attend performances in the 1600s. Standing in that iconic space while learning about its rich history was unforgettable. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting London.

Tyler our guide (who was obviously a gift actor) was great - friendly knowledgeable and keen to pass on everything he could about the theatre he loved and the Shakespearean world - can't recommend more highly.

Great tour. Very nice guide. Beautiful museum. They even agreed to let me join the tour 30 minutes after my booked time because I felt a little faint when I arrived in the terrible heat. The staff were very attentive to my needs. They were charming and wanted me to enjoy the visit after a short rest. Thank you so much!
