Combining scholarly expertise with thespian pizzazz, there’s no better way to explore the life of the Bard in the capital.This informative walk Revisits Shakespeare's life on the North bank of the Thames (we do not go to the Globe Theatre because everybody tends to do that separately).

Even better, your guide Declan, (as previously mentioned), is a former professional actor and will treat you to some of Shakespeare's speeches in the appropriate locations.(Please note that this tour does not visit the Globe Theatre. Also please note that Declan believes Shakespeare wrote the plays and does not believe the theory that somebody else wrote them.) https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/442fdfc0-0bcf-11f1-9c90-a753321591a0-rimg-w1110-h740-dcfefefc-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/4484dd90-0bcf-11f1-9c90-a753321591a0-rimg-w1110-h740-dc915c44-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/44f8d510-0bcf-11f1-9d1a-cbb202d0aa19-rimg-w1109-h740-dc8f8f90-gmir.jpg The tour meets outside the exit of Blackfriars tube station as shown in the image attached.
