Stratford Town Walk Information

Stratford Town Walk was established in June 2002 when John and Helen Hogg identified a gap in the market. John and Helen arranged a meeting with their guiding colleagues to invite them to join their guiding venture and Stratford Town Walk was under way. A team of guides now provide the highly acclaimed walking tour every day of the year, even Christmas Day! The guides are local, specialise in Stratford, its history and the Shakespeare connection and have a deep love and respect for the town itself. The guides have many years guiding experience, with backgrounds in management, teaching, education and tourism. Some are Blue Badge, some are Guide Friday trained and others trained by Stratford Town Walk. Most importantly, the guides provide interesting, entertaining tours with an emphasis on quality of service and high customer satisfaction. In addition to the daily public walks, guides provide private guided coach and walking tours for groups of all kinds, from the UK and all over the world. Stratford Town Walk was particularly pleased to look after the Stratford Sister Cities delegation, when approximately 140 people visited Stratford and even the rainy day failed to spoil the excitement and enjoyment. It is very rewarding to have repeat visitors and particularly so, to hear visitors remark on how beautiful the town is and how they are delighted to discover how much it has to offer. For example, the variety and excellence of the shops, tearooms, restaurants, pubs, attractions and the overall sense of beauty and historical fascination of the town. At Christmas, the town is like a winter wonderland with the attractive shop windows and Christmas lights, which are a credit to all who contribute. Step away from the main streets to discover a rich selection of attractive art, antique, mystic and book shops.
