This website requires 48 hours notice to book this tour as a private group. In reality, we may sometimes be available at shorter notice, if you request viator to contact us. However, in all cases, the reason why we require so much advance notice is because unlike our other tours offered here, the Shakespeare street theatre tour requires three actor guides to deliver the tour, so we may also have to cancel and refund you for bookings, if it turns out that all of us are not available, when you wish to book. This is because it's much harder to tie down all three of us on any date we advertise availability. Essentially, this tour is intended to be booked with significant advance notice but if we can provide tickets at short notice, we will do so or refund you.
Cancellations & Refunds
Reservation Changes, Cancellations & Refunds
Changes to reservations for tickets can be made until 3 days prior to the date scheduled. Reservations may be re-scheduled by the operator of the activity due to reasons such as weather, minimum participation requirements, mechanical issues or other interruptions beyond their control.
