Shakespeare's Walking Tour in London

5.0
(20 reviews)

2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Shakespeare tours of historic London, led by classically trained actors, who will take you back through the mists of time and bring Shakespeare's words to life as you follow in the footsteps of England's most famous playwright and the theatre troupe that made his name.

Your guide will beguile you with fascinating stories and anecdotes, treat you to some authentic Elizabethan snacks, and read you tracts from Shakespeare's plays and sonnets at the very places where they were first spoken and performed.

We start our tour in what is considered one of the most bustling and fashionable boroughs of London, and the birthplace of British theatre, our tour then takes in some of London's most iconic sites, including St Paul's Cathedral, and the Barbican, as well as many hidden memorials and lesser-known gems, before completing our extraordinary journey on the Southbank of the Thames, and the site of Shakespeare's most famous theatre- The Globe.
