The experience took you back to the 17th Century. Superb day . The actor that was in charge of our crowd did a superb job of giving us just the right amount of information regarding the actors life back in the 1600's. We will definitely go visit this place again next year . Heartily recommended.

Excellent guide Mark made the experience for me. Brought Shakespeare to life by setting it in the context of London on the 1600's Two points to make Your site indicates the wrong meeting point at the foot of the steps. The booking indicates two hours whereas it is one hour Minor points for me as Mark did such a good job

The tour seems somewhat overpriced for the experience provided. Additionally, photography was not permitted. Overall, it is an average tour and does not last the two hours as indicated on the website during booking.
