What To Expect

Leeds Castle

Located in Kent, ‘The Garden of England’, lies Leeds Castle, a beautiful medieval castle frequently referred to as ‘the loveliest castle in the world’. With 500 acres of landscaped parkland to explore and impeccably maintained gardens to enjoy, it’s easy to see why this beautiful castle was a favoured castle of King Henry VIII, who gifted it to his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. In its 900-year history, the castle has been home to no fewer than six queens and served many functions, including acting as a garrison, prison and the stately private home of its most recent owners. Learn all about this and more as our expert tour guide brings its fascinating story to life.

1 hour 30 minutes • Admission Included

Canterbury Cathedral

A designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, Canterbury Cathedral is both a serene place of holiness and beautiful tourist destination. As the Cathedral of the Archbishop, the spiritual leader of the Church of England, Canterbury holds a special place in British history. No ordinary Cathedral, Canterbury has a long history that is often described as ‘England in Stone’; from the role of its Archbishops in the Magna Carta to the murder of Thomas Becket after a power struggle with the King of England, Canterbury’s history is intertwined with that of England. Founded by St Augustine in 600 AD, the Cathedral today is one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in England, and the first building in the country to be redesigned in this popular style in 1774.

Leeds castle is immersive as a "country estate" as are the furnished rooms. Canterbury is not to be missed on a visit to England. The brief visit at Dover was a disappointment; the cliffs are barely visible from the stopping point along a short, stony beach. Guide was informative. Overall a pleasant day trip from London
Another wonderful day courtesy of Evan Evans Tours.

Very smooth and laid back tour. Lovely drive through the SE Wngland countryside. Ample time to explore Leeds Castle. Plenty of time to spend on the beach at Dover admiring the cliffs and castle. Very informative and entertaining tour of Canterbury Cathedral. Extra time in Canterbury to have lunch. I highly recommend this tour.
Enjoyable Tour

Guide Kevin was entertaining. Learned a lot of history of England from him. They don’t allow hot drinks on the bus unfortunately so no hot coffee.

I had an absolutely fantastic day on my tour of Leeds Castle, the Cliffs of Dover, and Canterbury Cathedral, and I owe a big part of my enjoyment to our wonderful guide, Kevin. He provided insight into the history of all these sites, including Dover's strategic importance during both World Wars, which added a deeper layer to the stunning scenery.
Enjoyable day

Had a lovely tour with guide Phil and driver Greg. Very informative, but never felt rushed. Weather was good, so we were able to see the coast of France from Dover. I would highly recommend this tour.
Fantastic group of things...
