Visiting the Canterbury cathedral was lovely and learning about the history on the drive over was great. It would have been nice to have been able to spend more in Canterbury. We only got to go to the service and then had to leave immediately after. We also would have liked to spend more time in Dover. We understood that most or all places were closed Christmas Day but we only had 15 min in Dover. Most of the trip was driving in the bus and while the scenery was lovely we would have enjoyed the trip much more if we had the chance to explore the towns we visited for longer.

Canterbury is very beautiful but you don't visit it. You only attend mass. In relation to the cliffs, we intuit them from really far away. We passed Greenwich when it was already dark, so we didn't see anything. The positive part was the guide who did it very well. Getting up early and arriving early, I chose a seat next to the bus window to be able to contemplate the landscape and take photos. The bus was full and someone from Golden Tours forced me to change my seat because it was a "family oriented trip" and families could not sit apart. In my opinion, that is not my responsibility. Please, sell numbered tickets or not admitting people who travel alone...

We had the BEST Christmas Day with David as our tour guide. He was EXCELLENT! He was so knowledgeable, relatable and entertaining. He really knew his stuff! We loved every stop and all of the information along the way. The service was just perfect to celebrate the holiday. Lunch was delicious and full of amazing options. Seeing the Cliffs of Dover was so very memorable. We couldn't have had a better day! We even got dropped off by Trafalgar Square, which gave us the opportunity to see all of the Christmas lights. We couldn't have had a better time!

Das Hotel Pistono, Monika und Walter Pistono bieten jedes Jahr ein Weihnachtsbuffet am ersten und zweiten Feiertag, was seinesgleichen sucht. Bei den Räumlichkeiten sieht man die Handschrift der Chefin Monika Pistono, welche durch die Köstlichen des Küchenteams unter Leitung des Chefs Walter Pistono und des sehr freundlichen Teams des Service abgerundet wird. Es schmeckt alles hervorragend, für jeden Geschmack ist etwas dabei. Wir sind jetzt das dritte Jahr nacheinander dort zu Gast und werden es im Jahre 2024 wieder sein. Übrigens bietet die Familie Pistono dieses auch zu Ostern an, in einer etwas einfacheren Version, aber dennoch von gleichbleibender Qualität an. In diesen Genuss sind wir im Jahre 2023 gekommen und werden dies im Jahre 2024 ebenfalls anberaumen. Familie Friedrich von Hillscheid und Hilgert
