Stratford-upon-Avon: The Famous Walk Talk Show｜United Kingdom

Join a fascinating 1.5-hour guided walking tour of Stratford-upon-Avon, covering its 14 centuries of history as well as much ado about the life and times of William Shakespeare. You will see amazing buildings, beautiful scenery, and learn some absolutely fascinating and world-changing history. Stratford's famous WalkTalkShow has established itself at the very top of the town's visitor attractions feedback scores.

Chart the complete history of Stratford, from its original 7th century settlers, whilst also exploring the life and times of the most famous human the world has ever known. Shakespeare's writing changed the world and continues to do so.

See Shakespeare's birthplace, his famous home, and the C13th church in which he was both christened and is buried. See the surviving taverns that served Shakespeare and his friends in the late 16th century, and can still do the same for you 450 years later.

What about The Guild of The Holy Cross? Its chapel, which dates from 1269, was the seat of power in the town for centuries; despite falling foul of King Henry the 8th and his successors. Next door is William Shakespeare's schoolroom, and the early 16th-century Almshouses - also built by The Guild.

Talking of history, have you ever stood on one corner and clearly seen buildings spanning five centuries? In fact, you could throw a ball and hit any one of them; including the house where Harvard University's founding father, John Harvard, was born - in 1607. That's just one of the corners!

Explore to your heart's content as you experience life as it was in Tudor England, a period during which powerful forces forever changed the English way of life and begin to understand the impact that had on the wider world.

Our tour route covers a total distance of around 2km and is wheelchair and mobility scooter-friendly.
