Sobre esta actividad

We will take a fascinating journey into 16th century London, little known, different from today’s, but, even then, Europe’s largest city, an important commercial center, a brilliant cultural and multiethnic center, a destination for cultural figures of the time. The tour begins in the City, the most popular area, until its partial destruction by the Great Fire of 1666. We will pass by the most significant places of the period, immersing ourselves in the history and the particular atmosphere of the time, with characters and curiosities ', and we will see particular places, outside the usual tourist area. We will cross the Millennium Bridge, entering the ancient "city of theatres and brothels", and the oldest pubs, frequented by pirates. We will see Borough Market, the oldest in the city, we will visit Southwark Cathedral, linked to theatre and Shakespeare, and we will see the sailboat of the privateer Francis Drake, the Golden Hinde. We'll finish the tour at London Bridge. A London you don't expect.

      4. Shakespeare’s Globe

        Shakespeare's theatre, built in Tudor style in the late 1500s. The Guide will tell you his story and the story of Shakespeare, who acted here as an actor, with his Company. He later wrote his own tragedies and comedies, and became famous, so much so that Elizabeth I often called him to bring her shows to court.

      5. Southwark Cathedral

        We will visit the beautiful London Bridge church, built in layers on the rubble of a Roman temple, then Norman church, to the Gothic style church we can admire today, finished in the early 1500s. Inside is also the most famous London monument dedicated to Shakespeare, surrounded by his characters. Because it has perfect acoustics for classical music, regular concerts are often held here, usually free of charge.
