I had a great visit to Canterbury - the cathedral is truly awe-inspiring and the oldest in the country, full of history and beauty. The volunteers were wonderful, offering friendly and informative tours that made the experience even more special. Our entertaining bus driver David was informative, fun and really looked after us. He provided a great pub recommendation at Kent and most enjoyed fish n chips at the beachside. Dover was a lovely contrast, with the White Cliffs providing peaceful nature and stunning views. I also enjoyed browsing the nice gift shop afterwards. Thank you for a fabulous tour.

The tour went smoothly. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Basically we were dropped off at Canterbury, Deal, and the White Cliffs and told to meet back at the bus at a cerain time. Not quite what we were expecting, but a very nice experience. The guide, David, did a very good job.
Great day out!

We really enjoyed the day. Our driver and guide Liam was very knowledgeable and we also enjoyed his British bands playlist. We wandered around the old town of Canterbury which we found very interesting.. Lunch at a pub in Deal, a drive through Sandwich and on to white cliffs of Dover which were absolutely fantastic. We can’t fault this tour 10/10 from us. Thank you Liam!

The trip was great! Canterbury was beautiful. Our driver, David, was very knowledgeable about the history behind the cathedral and British history in general. Bonus, he sang for us!! The White Cliffs required more walking and it was very windy so wouldn’t recommend for someone who is limited physically.
Transportation only, poorly designed

This tour is essentially just transportation to three locations. Nothing noteworthy or interesting about any of the sites is provided. There seems to be a lack of knowledge of the sites. The website website and we code card provided did not work. Disappointing. Canterbury: main shopping area with major shops you can find everywhere else. Boring. Cathedral admission not included. Cathedral visit was ok, but tour guide information would be much better. 2 hours allocated for this. 90 minutes is fine. Deal: useless. Run down seaside town. There are two small castles nearby. Walked to one, it was closed. Those should be the focus, as it is unique history. Cover white cliffs: Beautiful. More time should be allocated here. The driver told us there are stairs going down to the beach (Langdon stairs); everyone was excited; and then no one could find the stairs. I think the tour driver actually didn’t know. Finally found the gift shop keeper who told me that they are actually not stairs, he tried to describe them, but I think his description was not sufficient to find the path to the beach. This was a big let down for many of us. This would have been the highlight. I’ve done many tours via TripAdvisor in England, all wonderful. This one is a disappointment.
Excellent experience, would recommend
