Follow Shakespeare’s footsteps on a private London tour of historic landmarks, literary sites, and the original Globe Theatre location.
About this tour
Trace William Shakespeare’s London, the city he called home for much of his life, on a private tour through landmarks connected to his work and world. Though London has changed since the 16th century, its streets and historic sites still offer glimpses of the places that shaped the playwright’s life and inspired his characters.
Visit the City of London’s Guildhall and Guildhall Library, the sites of Blackfriars Playhouse and St John’s Gate, St Helen’s Bishopsgate Church, and Southwark Cathedral. See the original site of the Globe Theatre, where many of Shakespeare’s plays were first performed, as well as today’s Globe Theatre. Hotel pickup is included, and the private format offers a personal way to explore these literary landmarks. Admission and performance tickets for the Globe are not included; lunch and dinner are also excluded.
Make Shakespeare’s London your own and discover the stories behind the city’s enduring theatrical legacy. You can also ask about arranging seats for an evening performance in Southwark.

How this score is calculated
This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.
How the score works
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
