The first review was a Stratford bus tour. The tour was held digitally on the bus which i believe was originally a good idea and made it seem very professional, but everything has a catch. As the tour continued I became aware of that catch. the digital system didn't work very well, either that or the bus driver wasn't pressing the right buttons. I became confused listening to the same thing again and again in the wrong places . However this didn't happen this happen that often and when it didn't the information and its format was exceedingly good. the facts about where many sayings came from where very enjoyable and the icing on the cake. The cake itself was a very well informed,clever, and enjoyable tour. Each part of the tour was very relevent to the area we where at the time ( when the system wasn't malfunctioning). Despit my believes the tour wasn't all about Shakespeare (only 85% of it).
The second tour was the Shakespeare's birthplace. I was surprised by this tour, as I went in we watched disappointed videos in different room,I enjoyed this a lot, and learnt a lot of interesting facts. However I was disappointed by the latter part of the tour. We went through the house talking to different actors in costume I learnt a few things but I couldn't help but feel they could have made more of the house. I did however enjoy the piece of drama at the end when actors played a little scene of the life in those days (though it startled me a little).
Overall I preferred the first tour on the bus because it was more wide spred and covered more information the second one, and I generally thought the bus tour was more intresting
