We did not realize this was basically just an audio file download. We did not bring headphones or devices for all of the people in our group, so we just decided to take the guided tour that actually enters the theatre and had a great time. Also, this should not be charged per person since it is just a file download.
When we arrive at the Glove Theater on June 4 we were told that the Guided Audio Tour did not exist what an embarrasment we had to buy another tickets for a Tour for $54.00 I will like to get refunded for what I pay before Thank You Cristina Fojo

Appeared to be read by someone who knew nothing about the correct English pronunciation of Thames, borough, Southwark, Pepys etc. it made me laugh but not worth buying.

We were told 11:59 am-11:59 pm. No tour guide and no j at ructions for a meeting place. Total waste of money as we got NOTHING from these tickets.
Hi! It's a shame you couldn’t enjoy the audio guide experience properly immersive, in the instructions of the tour it is not stipulated that you will have a guide, since, they are about self-guidance and the location in the space you must do it on your own. However, your refund process is already underway. We hope you can come back and give the experience another chance
Vicky is fabulous, really told the story of much history and in a manner I cant forget. I really enjoyed the tour of the O Globe and the time she took to explain how shows would have been performed and the historical societal dynamic at the time to explain its original placement and purpose. Cracking good Vicky!
Thank you so much for your review we are happy you have enjoyed your visit in London! we hope to take you soundwalking again somewhere else!
The theater architecture and its details that resemble the old one the guide War very eloquent and the tour was informative too
We're so glad you enjoyed your experience. Thank you for taking the time to share it with us! - And we agree, Shakespeare's Globe is truly an architectural masterpiece. We can't wait to have you back for your next trip! ;)
A tour of different places where the poet left footprints 👣, full of magic, theater, architecture and history. A tour that rekindles the life of the English poet, actor and playwright.
I love the arts, knowing the history and culture spoken by the Duke of Athens is something unique, I transport myself to every moment experienced, is that shakespeare was an iconic character, thank you for enriching my learning.
