Join us on a 11 hour small group, maximum 16 people, day tour from London, to Canterbury, Dover and Kent Villages. This tour takes us through the county known as the "Garden of England". We will travel through time - literally, with a visit to Greenwich where GMT began. Then out deep into the beautiful Kent countryside and a stop in the glorious traditional Kentish village of Chilham. Following Chilham we take the scenic route onto the famous White Cliffs of Dover where we descend down to the shore for spectacular views along the coast and up at the glistening white cliffs immediately behind us. On from the cliffs we head to Dover Castle, where you can explore and see over 2000 years of history, from the Roman era church, to the Medieval embattlements and tunnels dug during WW2. Then on to the city of Canterbury, with its world famous 900 year old cathedral. Visit the cathedral and join us on a guided walking tour of Canterbury before our return to London after a full day exploring.

Greenwich, London, United Kingdom We make a short stop in Greenwich on our way out of London. Greenwich forms part of our natural route out of the city and is a great place for us to stop and grab a coffee and use the bathroom before we get out into the countryside. Admire the Cutty Sark - a famous restored 19th century tea clipper sailing ship. Hear stories of Kings and Queens visiting, and learn about the observatory that gave birth to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and see the famous Royal Naval College. 20 minutes

Dover Castle, Dover, United Kingdom Explore this glorious medieval castle - describes as the "Key to England". Huge defensive significance throughout English history, and in use as a defensive position since the Iron Age 3000 years ago, also used by the Romans - evidenced by a Roman lighthouse on the site - the most complete standing Roman structure in England.

Lucy is a very knowledgeable, engaging, and fun guide. She went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and answered all of our historical questions. There is quite a bit of walking but we had ample time to explore each sight. The White Cliffs of Dover were stunningly majestic and to be on the pebbly beach with the cliffs as a backdrop was a highlight! Chilham Village was quaint and charming, Dover Castle was a treat and the hospital tour in the underground tunnels of the castle was sobering - we owe so much to the brave men and women who fought in WWII! The castle is easy to explore and is very interesting. Canterbury Cathedral and the town of Canterbury were also a highlight. The choir was singing while we toured the cathedral which was lovely. Lucy arranged the day perfectly and I would totally recommend this tour and suggest asking for Lucy as your guide!! Thank you, Lucy, for such an exquisite tour - it was a perfect day!!!
