Traveler reviews
Really great information on the tour and loved that we learned things
This was a really great informative tour and we learned loads about the area and Shakespeare. My only niggle was that physicians are Drs and surgeons are Mr!!! They should be or Miss! Apart from that it was brilliant and i have given it 5 stars.
Very good trip
I took my sister and husband and went myself. We all thoroughly enjoyed the trip plus the chat and the driver was very friendly
Great jump on jump off tour
Great 2 days jump on jump off tour. Paul our driver was very knowledgeable & funny & helpful.
Very friendly drivers,...
Very friendly drivers, great commentary. One driver was especially good, stopped for you to take photo and added his bit of knowledge. Wish I had got his name. We enjoyed it so much we went on three times 😄
Informative comfortable bus trip.
Hopped onto the bus at Bridgefoot in the centre of Stratford. Buses are every 30 minutes. Very friendly helpful driver who gave extra information in addition to the recorded commentary through the headphones. The tour went round all the main Shakespeare related sights in Stratford itself with the bonus of wonderful countryside views travelling out to Wlimcote and Shottery where we got off the bus at Anne Hathaway’s Cottage. We spent an hour and a half looking round the cottage and gardens and had lunch in the garden cafe before getting back on the bus for the 30 minute journey back. Great way to spend half a day with lots of interesting factual information and efficient comfortable service.
