Booked a tour with guide, Peter, at the beginning of our visit to Stratford so we could get our bearings. A friendly, knowledgeable guide who made our walk so enjoyable and interesting. It didn’t feel like 90 minutes, as you stop quite often at different attractions, and my mother, in her 80’s was fine with the pace. We were blessed with the weather, and throughout our weekend we often pointed out what we had learnt on the walk. Highly recommend.

Peter, was a fantastic guide- knowledgeable, funny and chatty. He made sure to speak with everyone at some point, answered questions. The tour was a little history tour, just to wet the whistle, but felt like we did a fair bit in the 1.5 hours. The time flew by. Was a great tour.
