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.

This was a lovely tour of SE England - the minibus (which our guide called Horatio) was very new and comfortable, and let us visit some places larger groups couldn’t. Our guide/driver Lucy was the BEST - I still don’t know how she managed to share so much interesting (and entertaining!) history while driving, but she did! She made the day go very smoothly for everyone. From a charming hamlet in Kent, to a beautiful day at the coast and castle of Dover, to time in Canterbury, it was excellent all around. My one suggestion would be that it would be nice to have additional time in Dover, and a little less time in Canterbury (maybe do the tour in reverse?) - there’s so much to see in Dover castle, vs Canterbury which felt very commercialized. But seriously, we both loved Lucy, and had a fantastic day!

Our tour guide, Lucy, did an amazing job start to finish. She was knowledgeable about each destination, funny, and kept the tour very comfortable for all passengers (scheduling rest stops, suggesting restaurants). We had a great time at each location!

I had a lovely time exploring Kent in a small group, which made the experience feel more relaxed and personal. Big thanks to Lucy, who was my tour guide — warm, witty, and engaging, with exceptional knowledge of England’s history. This was my second experience with The English Bus (I visited the Cotswolds/Bath/Stonehenge last year with Cara, who was also excellent), and once again, I wasn’t disappointed.
