A great place indeed ! This is something I'd meant to do for awhile, but never got round to... I'm very glad I did. The tour of The Globe was excellent ! The guides are enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I loved it.

For only £ 13.50 you can enjoy the atmosphere of this place. The tour is interesting, I'm planning to go there soon. The magnificent and iconic building will capture you with its history and special atmosphere.
Sometimes its too noisy during the tours, so keep this in mind when you're going there.

Review of Shakespeare's Globe from 8 February 2013
During my short stint at Pembroke during the Summer of 2011, I had the incredible opportunity to watch Hamlet at the Globe.  Not only did I get to view a well-rehearsed play performed by world-class actors, I was able to view it in true  'peasant's fashion.'  By peasant fashion, I mean that I stood beside the stage with my group [of fellow students] and watched the entire 3-hour length.  The icing on the cake for the amazing play was the starry open sky over head and the old-world atmosphere of the theater itself.  Highly recommended and I would definitely return in a heartbeat!!

Totally enjoyed our first trip to the Globe. Great museum and demonstrations and a fine tour of the theater itself. Fantastic lunch next door at the Black Swan.

I would definitely reccomend the globe theatre. After a trip to watch dr Faustus, it was well worth it and has an incredible vibe and atmosphere. Standing can become tedious though so be prepared!

Review of Shakespeare's Globe from 25 July 2012
I cannot recommend the Globe's production of "Taming of the Shrew" highly enough. Traditional shakespeare with a modern twist, highly accessible for all age groups and from shakespeare novices to enthusiasts. We were rolling in the isles! This is how it should be done!

Review of Shakespeare's Globe from 22 July 2012
Nothing quite prepares you for the absolute splendour of this unique landmark!It is like being transported back in time. I went to see Richard III performed this evening and wow what an experience a wonderful performance and an utterly breathtaking experience. Even the break in-between you can enjoy some excellent food and wine (even the burgers are good!) However be prepared the seats are not comfortable so hire a cushion and a backrest-its worth it!You can get cheap standing tickets but i wouldnt advise it-3 hours is a long time to stand especially if its raining, cold etc or exceptionally hot. Plus the view from above makes for a better experience. Don't miss it!

Review of Shakespeare's Globe from 30 June 2012
The building is fantastic, and to actually watch a theatrical event in this setting is magical. Do pay the extra for a seat though.  It is not at all pleasant standing in the rain watching a show. From the seating area, it's grand. This is a must-see must-experience place for London natives and visitors.

Hope to go this summer to another performance.

Review of Shakespeare's Globe from 25 May 2012
A visit at The Globe is an experience that simply cannot be missed. Originally built for the performance of Shakespeare stage plays, the theatre building itself is worth admiring. It is beautifully decorated and made out to look like an original theatre from centuries past. The best time to visit The Globe is during the summer, when the performances take place on the stage and under the open sky. Going to see a show such as this really is a unique experience that gives you just an inkling of how theatre was in the past. It is interesting to visit The Globe, even if you do not go there to watch a performance, as there are brilliant guides to show you around at the theatre and tell you about its use and its most remarkable history. Plays are usually held during the day. . You can also go on a tour of the backstage area and the theatre of course.

Review of Shakespeare's Globe from 5 April 2012

Make sure you try to pick a day when it doesn’t rain – we were lucky as it didn’t, but I can imagine that it could be a soggy affair if it was.

But the fact that there’s such a monument of history which is so welcoming and actively used is a real testament.

The plays themselves are fantastic interpretations – great if you’ve got any school-aged children.

A tip – if you’re standing up – get there early and lean against the back of the theatre, as after a few hours, you’ll need it.

There is no excuse. Not to go. There are standing tickets for 5 pounds each (no orange sellers but you can’t get closer to the real deal that this). You have more money to spend? You can sit too. That’s all really. Just go. You’ll be charmed.
