Our guide was great, she gave the tour with a lot of joy and knowledge. Because there was a performance later on and the actors had met on stage beforehand, we weren't allowed to take any more photos of the stage, which was a shame. When we went in, there wasn't enough time to take any straight away and then we weren't allowed to. But it was still very worthwhile and totally interesting.

What an amazing experience!! The theatre is amazing and the tour we so much fun! Informative interesting, enlightening! 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!
