We joined Sinister Stratford soon after we arrived, as an introduction to what the town has to offer. We were lucky to end up as a very small group, and getting what can only be described as a private tour. Joe is a knowledgeable and funny guide, as well as a gifted storyteller. He connects the main events from the history of Stratford with what can be found in Shakespeare's work, sprinkling it all with the wicked and scary stories that the town accumulated throughout the ages. A great walk for anyone looking for an exciting introduction to Stratford, we would 100% recommend it!Jade_S

Fun, interesting and funny - we definitely saw a different side to Stratford-Upon-Avon. We (2 women and 2 11 / 12 year olds) loved every minute and would highly recommend. The highlight of our trip and the perfect way to see all the sights and learn some cool stuff.
