We had a great guide, Nick. He gave us great insights into the history the evolution and changes and made it fun for all. Go on a Sunday if possible as fewer workers around, thus more access.

The tour was everything I expected and more. The guide Alan was amazing with his knowledge and friendliness 10 out of 10. Although an early start is needed, I would highly recommend this to everybody whether you have an interest in theatre or not.
