I had paid and downloaded the tour yesterday, we stopped for a drink part way through and when I tried to open the tour again, it closed and it wouldn’t allow me back in unless I paid again? I messaged Viator asking to allow us to access it again the next day so we could finish the tour but I had no reply.

I could not get the tou to download to my phone (even though it’s a new phone and I had Wi-Fi service in the hotel). I wound up just going through Shakespeare’s birthplace and then walking over to the new place and paying admission and walking around with no guide. Never again.

Good afternoon, thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that our tour did not meet your expectations. We have reviewed the issue and it seems there was a problem with your wifi/data connection, as you should have been able to access the tour once you've clicked on the link we sent you via email. Whilst our tours can be listened to offline, we recommend having a strong wifi/data connection while you download them. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience with us!

Not worth it, waste of money. Suggest watching a YouTube video instead of buying this tour. Under whelming experience, surely not worth the price.

Very fun and chill way to get to know the city of Stratford. Takes you past all the major Shakespeare sites. If you plan to go before 4pm, all of the museums, churches, and houses should be open for you to purchase a ticket and stop inside along the tour. The town itself is also very beautiful and fun.

Great way to explore Stratford upon Avon! I looked into various tour guides and walking tours in Stratford but this one sounded the most interesting and I was not let down! The tour is very well written and really great quality. It takes you on a guided route around all the must sees. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to learn more about the are or have a fun afternoon!
