Very disappointing tour. We booked it because it was a private tour but you end up visiting the globe with a large group anyway. The other stops beforehand were pathetic and our tour guide was a nice man but offered little commentary and really this part of the tour was waaayyyy too long considering there was nothing actually to see. I would not recommend this tour for the cost-instead book a tour with the globe directly.

Our guide was pleasant and knew his way around the Shakespeare sites south of the Thames. The personal tour was pricey for what we got. We thought it a little hurried. The walk around included the Globe, where guides in the theater took over. I thought it inappropriate for the guide to ask us to complete a written survey of the tour at The Glove as he sat watching and which he took away with him.

If you're in love with Shakespeare this is a good one to fill in the gaps only if you've never visited the Globe Theatre. Touring the Globe is the last stop on this tour. Lovely guide who takes you places you may not go on your own...all in the name of Shakespeare and the West Bank

Loved this tour. Small group with a very knowledgable guide who had some great insight.
