Shakespeare's Globe Reviews

Great tours, and the building is unique - built with the original techniques!

A fascinating experience. When you are in the place where the writer lives you understand many things that seem to you unclear. A fascinating tour and interesting and professional tutorial by Angela the instructor.

Unbeatably good. I have never seen anything here I have not really enjoyed.

Guided tour in Shakespeare Globe theatre in London. It's not the original theatre and it's not located at the exact same place as the original. But is really feels nice to be standing in Shakespeare's theatre, even if it's a replica. You can only visit it with a guided tour and costs 17 pounds and takes about 30 or 40 minutes.

The open-air experience with the tour was extremely interesting. Loved the rich history.

LOVED the guided tour. Our tour guide Mark was absolutely wonderful. You could feel his passion for Shakespeare. He was very friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and informative. This was one of our favorite stops on the whole trip.

Had to be done. Great night. Bar was a bit disorganised. Would make a great club venue

Valuable experience Entertaining and educational tour

Nice evening watched Shakespeare's much ado about nothing based on the Chilean revolution

Saw Richard II - all female cast - Great Performance!!

Had a great time at the Globe! The open 3 dimensional stage and old easy theater approach are a refreshing alternative experience, which is rarely to find nowadays!

Tour guides were knowledgeable and the story of the building was fascinating.

The cafe inside was surprisingly good value for central. Nice vibe

Great place to see a play like they would have back in Shakespeare's time. Very authentic and a great experience. I would recommend bringing back support as the seats have no backs so by the end of the play you will be in pain.

We went to Othello and were truly moved by the performance. We had standing places which was very tiring but everything was booked so far in advance their was nothing else available one month prior to the play.
The thing that surprised me, which perhaps it shouldn't have because it's kind of obvious when you think of it, is that umbrellas weren't allowed during rain... And it was raining quite heavily... Luckily not very long and it had been a warm day.

Very cozy, great experience! The actors were excellent and the venue was pleasant and small. It's rare you get to be so up close at a show like this.

Lovely building great atmosphere brilliant play and performance.

If you get a chance to see a play here grab the opportunity and go in the pit. It's worth the experience

Was an amazing night of laughs and entertainment. There was adlibing and bawdiness probably as close to an actual Shakespearean experience as u are gonna get

Such a wonderful experience. The theater is absolutely gorgeous, and the cast is top notch. If you are a theater nerd, or Shakespeare fan this is a must visit.

Can't lie, I got a bit misty eyed when the show started.

Visit the site, buy the ticket, take the tour, find the boards. Let your imagination go, back, back.

A true Theatre lover must check this out!!! wonderful

A wonderful place that you should not miss if you go to London, the treatment has been exquisite

Macbeth was fantastic. I hate reading shakespeare but seeing it in the globe was the experience of a lifetime. Don't go for the tour, just see a show.

You love theatre? Compulsory for you to pay a visit here!

We went for the tour today, but we ve been b fire for a performance. The museum is ok. Has some interesting points but is not well maintained. The tour and guide were exceptional with lots of detailed and relevant information. We also got to enjoy them rehearsing during the afternoon which was an added treat.

Enchanting to immerse yourself in this fabulous theater of the past! Too bad for the guide only in English that emphatically told every detail ... that obviously..view my lack of knowledge of the language I lost ...

Great atmosphere and Merry wives of Windsor very good.

Shakespeare's Globe is an artful and detailed reconstruction of an Elizabethan theatre, new living history. And if you want to enjoy that living history to the full it's best to go see a play. Watch the colorful crowd in the pit and the balconies laugh, roar and applaude just as it was 400 years ago. Watching actors throw passion into their words. It's not just a theatre it's a time machine.

Cute place next to the river. Also possible to only have drinks.

Highly recommend a guided tour. Our tour guide, Canice Bannon, was remarkable and made it a memorable experience.

This bring the past to life. The guides are great as well.

What an amazing slice of life from Shakespearean Theatre and the history of that era.

Fantastic playhouse, great play, fabulous atmosphere and audience

Watched an outstanding performance of Henry V.. Both the production and each and every actor (especially the actors) were absolutely fantastic! At first I thought that this is going to be a very serious place but it turned out to be a quite humorous place and play. The actors showed their professionalism in dealing with some noise caused by a helicopter interrupting the play in flying above the theatre (remember: no roof!) and in really woking with the audience (that was the best part for me).
We were standing in the yard for 5 Pounds, but in case you haven't been walking for hours the same day that is no problem at all - it's just great as you are so close to the stage!
Hope I'll come back again soon!!!

A nice place to pop in for a drink and escape the crowds of southbank. There is a small terraced area out at the back which is great on sunny days but be quick as its a popular spot.

Worth every pound, get seats, the floor gets really packed.

Enjoyable tour with an edgy tour from our Welsh guide. Top notch.

We always watch plays here at least once a year. The trick is subscribe to their mailing list, and buy ticket months early via online.

A reproduction of the mythical theater of genius Shakespeare, wow

Very interesting and guide was super. Expensive for such a short guided tour.

We watch Henry XI, and it was amazing! So well done!

Absolutely wonderful version Shakespeare's A Midsummer Nights Dream - whacky, zany, colourful, zesty with a cast of Red Bull devotees.

Just got to see the kiosk, which was quickly overlooked, but nice place

Great atmosphere, great actors. Unfortunately, too tight rows of seats and too thin and hard Aufsitzbretter.

It's so close the real thing I didn't know the difference! If only I knew what it was like hundreds of years ago!

A highly important landmark and they put on many incredible shows

The guided tour is short, efficient and interesting.

Dont miss the opportunity for summertime 5 pound tickets !

We watched a very good and most original performance of A midsummer night's dream. Very enjoyable!

Best theatre experience ever! Visited many time, "Titus Andronicus" is breathtaking!

Anytime I go, the experience is different and indescribable. Just go

Rebuilt to showcase the wonders of the original theatre that Shakespeare's plays were often performed in, it is one of only a few places where one can experience the plays like they used to be (minus the smell that probably filled the air in Shakespeare's time)

In good repair, you can see Shakespeare's works at a low price, from five pounds. It has a themed gift shop

The amazing Globe theatre with wonderful adaptations of Shakespeare's plays

Went to the candlelit venue, absolutely beautiful intimate venue. However if you have a bad back, try to find seats with a back.

Beautiful building, and although a recreation, it took none of the fascination away from seeing it.
