Lots of fascinating details! It was interesting to hear how the theatre was rebuild in detail and where obligatory alterations were (such as railings). Also vivid descriptions of how plays were performed. Missed the very interesting bit of how after such a long time the Globe was rebuild without buildingplans on the basis of an (accidentally recovered) drawing from a Dutch student. Host was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable.

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.
