We really enjoyed the variety of places we covered in a day. Canterbury Cathedral was a highlight. We were never rushed but we saw a lot. The boat ride from Greenwich was a great way to end the tour. Our guide and driver were very friendly and knowledgeable. 10/10 recommend!

Booked this last second on our honeymoon. Was really a nice surprise how much we enjoyed this tour. The sights were so beautiful and Dan was a great guide. She really knows her stuff and had so much information / stories to tell. She didn't try to be funny or talk too much. Dan really is the right balance you look for in a tour guide. We spent the right amount of time at each stop. This was a really well put together tour. Came all the way from Nebraska, USA and we were not disappointed.

Our driver Jim made the trip worry free. Morton guided us with knowledge and humor. He kept us on schedule with clear instructions. It was a great day trip with so much to see! The White Cliffs of Dover are best viewed in warm weather.

This was a perfect day trip from London. We planned this for our third day of vacation. Our feet were a little tired from two days of nonstop sightseeing, so this was a great way to recharge since we spent a lot of time off our feet on the bus. Leeds Castle was great, we got lost in the maze and really loved the salon. Dover Cliffs was the highlight for us! Our bus driver Dan was an excellent photographer and got some amazing photos of our family. Canterbury was lovely and the cathedral was breathtaking. The boat ride from Greenwich was an amazing way to end the day. We went under Tower Bridge and it was spectacular. Cedric was a great guide. He was knowledgeable and fun!
