This tour was perfect for all theater lovers! Charlie gave us a very detailed tour around the West End to see many of the most well known theaters and finished our tour across the river to visit the National Theatre and the Globe. This tour would also appeal to history lovers. He was so informative with the details of the history of each theater. We enjoyed all of the sights of the West End as well. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to spend the day learning about the West End theater life and its history. One of the best tours we have taken in London!

I am an American theatre professional (Actor/Director etc-and an interdisciplinary artist and educator, 40 years+) and this was top notch! Charlie is knowledgeable and enthusiastic and I was so completely blown away by being able to see so many places and venues I have spent my life studying and hearing about the productions and folks that played in these houses. Our tour got off to a very slightly rough start due to raging construction work on a busy west end street, but Charlie was a true pro and took it all in stride. High marks for him on all fronts. He went above and beyond to ensure we were both comfortable and getting what we were hoping for. The tour is well paced and covers a great deal, but so very worth it. Wear comfortable shoes and don't be afraid to ask questions and take photos..... This is a great tour for anyone with even a little interest in London theatre-but for a theatre nerd or professional- this is a must do on your visit to London. (Incidentally, it was also a great way for me to begin to acclimate myself to London-as I took the tour on my first full day in town). The end of the tour was particularly effecting to me and a bit of a surprise-no spoilers-but I found myself standing in a place I never ever thought I would be, that truly resonated to this artsy fartsy actor clown's soul. Perhaps a bit dramatic, but that's what the tour is about......and if you are part of the tribe- you will understand! It was wild. I felt like I had come home just a bit.
