Falconry displays take place daily in summer, or on weekends and school vacation days during off-peak months.

Leeds/ Canterbury Tour

I booked the Leeds Castle, Canterbury and Dover Cliff tour for me and my hubby! Worth it!...especially if you have David as your guide, as he is FULL of knowledge with the history of England! We had a small group of 9, which made it even better. Reg, is a great driver! He knew which lanes to go to/ stay on, as traffic got a bit heavier. We ended with a river boat/Uber boat ride, a bonus to see a wide spred of tourist sites along the way back to your stop. An AMAZING full day!

Amazing and well-worth the money

Amazing experience! I loved each piece of the tour. Our guide, Chrissy, and our driver, Pip, were excellent. They were very knowledgeable and helpful. This tour was well worth the money, and the EvanEvans tours always provide very clean and comfortable couches. This one had a bathroom on board which I think is extremely important especially for aged customers.

This is a great trip out...

This is a great trip out of London. Leeds Castle and the Canterbury Cathedral were both amazing. Our guide, Phil, was informative. I learned a great deal from his knowledge. And the commentary on London sights as we departed and arrived back into the city was great. I felt like I received a two-for-one trip! Kudos to Phil and our driver, Barrington!

Tour guide, Pablo and...

Tour guide, Pablo and driver, Christian were awesome. The tour could definitely be improved however. A 10 hour trip and no time set aside for lunch or bathroom breaks. Even if lunch is not included, there should be time allowed. Very limited options at Leeds castle, none at Dover and arriving at Canterbury at 330 then touring the cathedral make lunch difficult.
