WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Leeds Castle
Located in Kent, ‘The Garden of England’, lies Leeds Castle, a beautiful medieval castle frequently referred to as ‘the loveliest castle in the world’. With 500 acres of landscaped parkland to explore and impeccably maintained gardens to enjoy, it’s easy to see why this beautiful castle was a favoured castle of King Henry VIII, who gifted it to his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. In its 900-year history, the castle has been home to no fewer than six queens and served many functions, including acting as a garrison, prison and the stately private home of its most recent owners. Learn all about this and more as our expert tour guide brings its fascinating story to life.
2. Canterbury Cathedral
A designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, Canterbury Cathedral is both a serene place of holiness and beautiful tourist destination. As the Cathedral of the Archbishop, the spiritual leader of the Church of England, Canterbury holds a special place in British history. No ordinary Cathedral, Canterbury has a long history that is often described as ‘England in Stone’; from the role of its Archbishops in the Magna Carta to the murder of Thomas Becket after a power struggle with the King of England, Canterbury’s history is intertwined with that of England. Founded by St Augustine in 600 AD, the Cathedral today is one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in England, and the first building in the country to be redesigned in this popular style in 1774.
3. The White Cliffs of Dover
Soaring 350ft above the crashing waves of the English Channel, the White Cliffs of Dover are an instantly recognisable landmark of Britain. From Caesar to Shakespeare, some of history’s most important figures recognised the towering symbolism of the cliffs. Traditionally the site where British royalty would welcome overseas visitors, the cliffs served as an intimidating reminder of Britain's immovable resoluteness sense of independence.
4. Dover Castle
Dover Castle is a medieval castle in Dover, Kent, England. It was founded in the 11th century and has been described as the "Key to England" due to its defensive significance throughout history. It is the largest castle in England.

I really like this tour with guide Rowan. She did an amazing job keeping us engaged with her knowledge. Though Leeds castle
Is set in a beautiful setting I was a little disappointed with how they turned it into Narnia and had mini golf, maze, etc out back. I wish we could have spent more time in Dover, but I at least know next time it’s a destination to spend more time at. Rowan’s knowledge and passion for Canterbury Cathedral was quite welcoming. My husband, 14 year old twins and I had a great day.

We only had one hour and forty five minutes from the time we arrived at the bus terminal for the Canterbury Cathedral segment of the tour. We arrived back to the Victoria Station at 5:45pm.
I would suggest less time at Leeds Castle.

The day was full of making memories. My family loved Leeds Castle and the Narnia theme added an additional fairy tale feel. Our tour guide Paul was wonderful. He was welcoming and spirited the whole time. I will definitely recommend to friends.

Packed three sights into one sunny day. Leeds Castle was beautiful and would have liked to have toured the grounds more. We got to walk out on the beach at Dover to get a photo of the white cliffs. Canterbury is a darling place with lots of shops and food. The Cathedral is exquisite, just breathtaking. It is a long day, so prepare yourself. Thanks to our guide, Dolly, and our driver, Eddie for their knowledge and professionalism.
