Probably the best way to explore any town or city is to walk around it. It may take longer than a bus journey would to traverse the streets, but there are lots of reasons why you should opt for the power of your feet over any other method.
Stratford upon Avon is no exception when it comes to finding out as much as you can about the town. But you can go one better than simply walking around and take a guided tour instead of going it alone. Here are some excellent reasons for doing just that.
1. You will get to see areas you may have missed otherwise. When you arrive in Stratford upon Avon for the first time, you will soon find out about all the Shakespeare properties. But it has a lot more to reveal to its visitors as well – and you can find out many of its secrets by enjoying an in depth tour on foot.
2. You will be able to find out lots of knowledge about Stratford that you wouldn’t have discovered any other way. It’s those little snippets of information about Stratford that make such a tour so much fun. It makes any holiday in Stratford upon Avon one to remember.
3. You can opt to take more than one walking tour, with each one offering something different to look forward to. The town boasts a ghost tour as well as a more traditional walking tour. And if you would like a cruise on the river, there is a ghostly version of the tour which takes place on water as well.
4. You can learn as much about the history of the town as you can about the present day. You can see a town through different eyes once you start learning about how it came to be as it is today. And since Stratford goes back to Shakespeare’s time and before, there is plenty to learn!
5. You can enjoy being entertained! Most guides are highly experienced and they know all there is to know about the town. Not only this, but they are also good at delivering that knowledge in a way that is far different from reading the same information from a guide book. Why not choose the more entertaining route while you are in town?
A cheap UK holiday in Stratford upon Avon is a great way to wind down and take a break from your everyday routine. And as you can see, with tours and insights into the town on offer virtually every day, you can really enjoy your time in the town and learn lots more about it.
And of course, after all that exercise wandering around and discovering parts of Stratford that you may otherwise have missed, there will be plenty of venues to stop and get some refreshments afterwards. What better way could there be to rest your weary feet than to enjoy a drink and a light snack?
