    Enjoyable tour with great guide & driver.

    Arthur_M, Aug 2026
    A pleasant day out with a very knowledgeable guide. We were a little squeezed first time at the end because of festivals at Deal, Sandwich & Canterbury, but our guide & driver ensured we didn't miss out on anything. The Walmer Castle drive-by was probably unnecessary. We could have done with more time in Sandwich & Canterbury, but it's a lot to fit into one day. The fruit growing prowess of Kent was extolled, but the recommended fruit stall in Canterbury let everyone down with overripe & sub standard fruit. We skipped touring Canterbury Cathedral as we've visited dozens of Cathedrals in our travels & the entry price was a strp too far. Congratulations to the operators for leaving it to the guest to choose whether they'd incur the cost of a visit.

    It was a wonderful experience. Tourguide was very knowledgeable on local history and all the sights we passed. Small executive bus and driver were awesome. We had a great view of the cliffs where the bigger buses can not go.

    Sue and Josh were terrific guides

    Amy_B, Jul 2026
    What a terrific way to see Dover , Canterbury and the surrounding area. We don’t enjoy being on a large tour bus with 30-40 other people as much and we also enjoy covering more ground. Our cruise offered smaller versions of this tour but with a large group. Sue was a wonderful guide and Josh was a terrific driver. The day could not have been more pleasant. We were able to take more time where we preferred and move quickly through the parts that were less interesting to us. 10/10 I would highly suggest booking this tour .

    Great Dover to be Canterbury tour

    Charles_S, Jun 2026
    Our tour guide Liz was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in understanding all the history of the various sites visited. Her detailed descriptions of Dover, Sandwich, Deal, and Canterbury and the Battle of Britain Memorial was extraordinary. A thoroughly enjoyable tour. We would highly recommend this tour to everyone.

    Absolutely lovely day with our guide Yvonne and driver Josh. Yvonne was so friendly and knowledgeable. The weather was not great but she did a great job of showing us the highlights and making suggestions to get out of the rain. We really enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it for anyone interested in this area.
