Step by Step

Immerse yourself in centuries of British history as you walk the streets where William Shakespeare lived and worked. This private tour starts at the Gower Memorial, an iconic landmark where your guide will introduce you to the origins of the city, from ancient settlements to Viking invasions.

Stroll along Henley Street and see the exterior of Shakespeare's birthplace, learning about his childhood and the evolution of his family. Next, you'll head to the Shakespeare Centre, opened to commemorate the Bard's 400th birthday, where you'll discover valuable documents and curiosities.

You will cross the picturesque Holy Trinity Church, Shakespeare's final resting place, and admire the gardens of his former residence at New Place. At each stop, your guide will reveal secrets that most visitors overlook, from the history of the Almshouses by the old schoolhouse to the legends of his daughter Susanna at Hall's Croft.

The tour continues to the Swan Theatre and culminates at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, home of the world-acclaimed RSC. Here you will gain an insight into how Shakespeare's legacy is kept alive in today's theatre scene.

With this private tour you will discover not only Shakespeare's life, but the evolution of Stratford, its canals, its Tudor architecture and its cultural spirit.
