Canterbury was the best of the two. I would give 4.5 if I could. Should spend more time there and add another hour. Did not get to see everything after taking the time to tour the cathedral. The time in Leeds should be shortened, although beautiful, was done touring with time to spare. Tour guide was awesome!! Bus driver into London was friendly and information. Highly recommend just make sure to go faster through the cathedral for more town views. My group all felt the same reverse time allowed in the towns.

Our guide was waiting for us as we got off the ship. The tour bus was very comfortable. Enjoyed driving by Dover Castle on the way to Canterbury . We really enjoyed our tour of this wonderful place and wished we could have had lunch there. It was a beautiful day to visit Leeds Castle which was very nice. Liz our tour guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable. A wonderful experience.
Places interesting but times were not respected

Places where good. First guide ok, second guide not very good. Timing was off, we ended up arriving very late to our hotel and missing anothee tour. On the bright side, Leeds castle is a must.

Great tour for after a cruise. Allowed for sightseeing of great places we would have overlooked had we not booked this tour. Picked up right at the pier after saying so long to our cruise. Excellent transfer for drop off at our hotel after the tour.
The BEST excursion after our Cruise before heading to Airport.

Fantastic tour at the end of our cruise back to the airport. When we got off the ship we just asked where was the tour for International Friends, as they tried to send us to the area for Carnival Tours. The guide was very sweet and knowledgeable, and I'm sorry but I forgot her name, but she said she lived in Canterbury. She was on time waiting for everyone even though the bus got sent to the wrong area by the port staff (the Carnival tour area). The bus was luxury and plenty of room. And the driver was attentive to helping us with all our luggage. Canterbury, even on a Sunday when you couldn't get in to see the cathedral due to services, was the most charming adventure. We were allowed time to shop, there was a street market going on, and we had time to grab some coffee. Then on to Leeds Castle, which was very charming and again, we had plenty of time to tour the castle and eat on the property grounds for a proper Sunday Roast. International Friends did a great job getting everyone to their final destination for the end of the trip whether it was central London, Heathrow or Gatwick. HIGHLY recommend this as an option for getting back to the airport after your cruise if you're flying out the next day.
