We absolutely loved our tour of the Globe Theatre. Our guide was amazing - so many facts at his fingertips - and funny, too! It was great to learn about the original two Globe theatres, the history surrounding each, and the labor of love that became the recreated Globe of today. The guided tour was the highlight, but the exhibits were outstanding also - full of historical information, behind-the-scenes looks at modern interpretations of the plays, costumes from Globe performances, and so much more. Highly recommend!
