Helpful guide who provided the historical facts with colour and charm. The tour lasts about 2 hours, which is just right. This tour is a good introduction to the city. A visit to the Cathedral requires another tour.

A tour of Canterbury city centre. Very informative and interesting and the guide was extremely knowledgeable. I have lived around Canterbury for a long time but friends visiting from Devon had not been to Canterbury before. I thought I knew a bit of the history but actually my knowledge was nothing compared to the tour guide's. Im really pleased that we decided to take an offical tour and I would recommend it to anyone else visiting the city.....even if you think you know about it. The guide was very friendly and helpful especially as we had a wheelchair user in the group.
