Tour Options in Shakespeare Country

The Heart of England Tourist Board arranges tours throughout the region. City Sightseeing runs guided tours of Stratford (£8.50), Coventry (£5.50), and trips to Warwick Castle from Stratford (£19.50). The tours don't include admission to the Stratford sights (most of which are within walking distance in town), so some people find the tour isn't the best value. The two-hour Shakespeare's Life in Stratford walk (£6), led by actors, begins at 10:30 AM on Saturday October through March, Thursday and Saturday April through September, and Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday July through September.
