“We put the headphones on and forgot the world existed, we jumped, sang, laughed and had the most amazing family time while doing this west end disco tour. My oldest song, who is not a fan of musicals ended up dancing with us at the end, and my husband joined the fun throughout the walk. We learned about theaters, music, plays, and even we got some strangers to clap at our street signing attempts!! Honestly, the best tour of all!!!”

“It was absolutely amazing! I would go back again and again. The whole experience was an A++ . The singing, the acting, the sets, it's was truly a memorable experience. I would say make sure to buy the extra pad where you can get the yummy popcorn, it's an absolute must have for kids under 12 years old I would say. If you can get an Aisle seat in the Stalls it would be the best experience too! Make sure to use the restroom before you sit because you won't really be able to leave (nor do you want to) and the lines at intermission are extremely long!”

8.Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 195 reviews · from $36

Step inside Shakespeare’s Globe for an English-language guided tour and a walk-through exhibition. Hear how the theatre survived plague, fire, and political pressure, then explore costumes, props, and seasonal displays. The full visit is advertised at two hours, though the guided theatre portion may last 30 to 45 minutes.

“The guided tour itself was only 45 minutes, the rest of the mentioned 2 hours were spent on an exhibition. It was nice but some parts were out of order. So you can actually arrive way before your booked time and complete the exhibition before the guided tour, FYI. The tour guide was energetic and great. Would recommend.”
