Our tour was absolutely amazing. We were fortunate that it was just the two of us and our tour guide. This led to a much more personable experience. Our guide not only was knowledgeable about Shakespeare, she was able to provide information about the area as well. She geared the tour towards our interests and ultimately we had a great time
