The guided tour was entertaining and full of interesting information about the theatre in the time of Shakespeare. The guide was a brilliant communicator. This turned out to be a better experience than the play we saw.

It wasn’t really a tour. They brought us into the theater and spoke about stage, effects they used, lighting etc. Sat in here for 40 minutes. Went to one other room. This is not the original globe not even the same location. Waste of time.

The guide told us the history of the globe and many interesting details about what it used to look like back in the day for the actors as well as the audience. She presented it in a fun and engaging way. We got to sit on the upper floor seats and observe the interior while the staff prepared the scene for the next play. I would recommend it if you are interested in this bit of London's history or Shakespeare and theater in general.
