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.

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.

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!!!
