Madame Tussauds + San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) - Self Guided

Es la exposición más grande del mundo dedicada a Shakespeare y el Londres en el que vivió y trabajó. Ubicada debajo del Globe Theatre en Bankside de Londres, la exposición explora la extraordinaria historia del Globe, y trae el mundo de Shakespeare a la vida mediante una serie de pantallas interactivas y demostraciones en vivo. Los visitantes de la exposición podrán descubrir cómo se producian los espectáculos en los teatros de la época de Shakespeare, la escritura, los ensayos, la música, la danza y la performance. También tienen la oportunidad de aprender sobre las artes tradicionales y las técnicas utilizadas durante el proceso de reconstrucción del Globe; también podrá averiguar cómo se producian los efectos especiales en la época de Shakespeare, escuchar grabaciones de algunas de las actuaciones más memorables de Shak o unirse al reparto y añadir su voz a una escena grabada por actores Globe. Para la exposición también se incluye una audioguía disponibl en inglés, francés, alemán, español, italiano, ruso, mandarín y japonés. Alternativamente hay un video equivalente disponible en lenguaje de signos británico con subtítulos en inglés. Para los más pequeños hay 45 minutos de pistas de audio en inglés especialmente diseñadas para ellos y también un recorrido para toda la familia. No hay acceso al teatro durante las actuaciones matinales. Los visitantes serán llevados al sitio arqueológico cerca del Teatro Rose.

Conozca la gran dama de la ciudad de Nueva York desde cerca y personalmente con el tour a la Estatua de la Libertad. El recorrido empieza con un poco de contexto, visitando sitios alrededor de Battery Park. Allí los monumentos conmemorativos rara vez reciben la atención que merecen, como los visitantes con prisa para subir al ferri. Las historias que tienen para contar merecen la pena, de manera que emplearemos menos tiempo en el Monumento Nacional del castillo Clinton, Pier A Harbor House, el memorial a los marineros comerciantes americanos, The Sphere y el memorial a los veteranos de guerra de Corea. A continuación, saldrá hacia la isla de la Libertad, con entrada exprés para el ferri, de tal manera que no deberá hacer colas y podrá conseguir los mejores asientos - y como que salimos tan temprano (normalmente en el primer ferri, dependiendo de la época del año), llegará a la estatua antes que las grandes multitudes. Una vez allí, podrá disfrutar de fabulosas vistas de la ciudad y de un recorrido guiado que le llevará al pedestal, permitiéndole acercarse a la gran dama más que en una visita normal. Allí su guía le hablará sobre este icono de la ciudad. Fue un regalo a América de parte de Francia y fue diseñado por arquitectos incluyendo Gustav Eiffel (cuya torre parisina le pueda ser familiar) aunque no fue acogida como se pensaba. Con un guía experto, aprenderá sobre la problemática y qué la hizo tan especial para la gente de Nueva York. A continuación, volverá al ferri y se dirigirá a la isla Ellis, donde podrá seguir los pasos de 12 millones de inmigrantes. Con su guía experto, aprenderá sobre el largo proceso que las personas pasaron, caminará por las Escaleras de la Separación para entender los 2 nombres tan diferentes de la isla  – ‘The Island of Hope’ (la isla de la esperanza) y ‘The Island of Tears’ (la isla de las lágrimas). Explorará la colección y las exposiciones interactivas de museo, con la oportunidad de hacer preguntas a su guía. El tour finaliza en la isla Ellis, así que podrá permanecer un rato más en la isla, o podrá volver en ferri con el guía. Con pequeños grupos de 20 personas o menos, y saliendo en uno de los primeros ferris de la mañana, le aseguramos un viaje tranquilo y relajado, eliminando el estrés y frustraciones de una visita normal.

Tour guiado por la Estatua de la Libertad y el Museo de la isla Ellis.

The Palace is perhaps best known as the home of Mary, Queen of Scots, and as the setting for many of the dramatic episodes in her turbulent reign. Mary was married at Holyroodhouse and witnessed the brutal killing of her secretary Rizzio by her jealous second husband, Lord Darnley, in her private apartments. The Palace briefly served as the headquarters of Bonnie Prince Charlie during the 1745 uprising. Today the State Apartments are used regularly by The Queen and other members of the Royal Family for State ceremonies and official entertaining. What there is to see: The State Apartments reflect the changing tastes of successive monarchs and are renowned for their fine plasterwork ceilings and magnificent furnishings, particularly the unrivalled collection of Brussels tapestries.  One of the most famous rooms in the Palace is the Great Gallery, hung with  Jacob de Wet's portraits of the real and legendary kings of Scotland. Included on the visit, a display focuses on the Order of the Thistle, the highest honour in Scotland.  The Order honours Scottish men and women who have held public office or who have contributed in a particular way to national life. Shown alongside historic insignia is an example of the mantle worn at the Thistle ceremony at St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh, which The Queen attends during her visit to the Palace in July. From 1 April to 31 October the gardens, which are today used for garden parties, can be included as part of a visit to the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Visitors to the gardens must keep to the paths, which are about 400 yards long. The Queen's Gallery at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh hosts a programme of changing exhibitions from the Royal Collection.
