This was a FANTASTIC experience. Our guide was a local who loved Stratford and shared so many little local stories with us. We saw everything we wanted to see (bought the RSC ticket later). Couldn't have asked for a better insight into the town.

I would like to give this tour a better review since it is inexpensive and the town is very quaint and historic. However, the guide was new and had to read from guide sheets he carried with him about different places. He often lost his place and didn't know the answers to basic questions about the town's history. I felt like I could've gotten as much out of just walking around town with my own guidebook.
