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.
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.

Great tour of Kent

5.00This trip had just the right amount of time at the stops … I thought the time at the Cliffs of Dover would be too short but it worked for a brief walk on the beach and to take pictures of the cliffs. We were blessed with a picture-perfect day and could even see the cliffs in France! Lesley was a great guide — friendly and informative, and made sure everyone was on time and respectful of the other group members. She communicated well with our driver Greg to make adjustments on the route as well.
Great day trip

5.00Our guide Phil was very knowledgeable about not only our destinations but also a wide range of topics. Marlon our driver was very skillful in navigating the coach in some tight place. Leeds Castle and Canterbury Cathedral were well worth the trip. Both interesting places to explore. The Cliffs of Dover were a bit of a disappointment. The area where the Coach parks to let us off for the Photo stop is really far from the cliffs. To get any good pictures of the cliffs you need a good zoom lens for your camera. Would be nice if entrance into Dover Castle could be subbed in for the Cliffs of Dover photo stop.

5.00Visiting Canterbury was very interesting. Delightful brick and timber houses, clean spaces, and lovely people. We were guided by Van who was kind and clear in explaining the cathedral. I recommend the guided tour to everyone. A beautiful experience!
