Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Canterbury Cathedral, 11 The Precincts, Canterbury CT1 2EH England

Step inside 1500 years of history to the sight of the very first cathedral in England. Here your guide will explain the story of how a dispute between a King and an Archbishop ended in chaos and the assassination of Thomas Becket in AD 1170.

Duration: 45 minutes

Stop At: The White Cliffs of Dover, Upper Road Langdon Cliffs, Dover CT16 1HJ England

What could be more of a symbol of British identity than the White Cliffs of Dover?! Once romanticised through the words of Vera Lynn, The White Cliffs of Dover served as a message of hope and strength through some of the darkest hours of World War II. This is why we take you to the Battle of Britain Memorial, where you will not only be able to admire the cliffs but pay your respect to 'The Few' that fought to defend the country against the German Airforce.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Leeds Castle Penfold Hill Leeds, Maidstone ME17 1PL England

Lord Conway once described this magnificent Castle as 'The Lovliest Castle in the world' and it doesn't take much imagination to see why.

Leeds has been the home of numerous Queens of England, as well as the home of an American Heiress Lady Baillie in the 1900's. Her Art Deco style still remains inside much of the castle today, as well as Henry VIII's large refurbishment for his first wife Catherine of Aragon

Ozzy, our guide, and Christian, our driver, were a delight. Very knowledgeable of the area and full of good stories. They adjusted the tour where they could to accomodate our interests - we spent a little less time in the Dover area and a little more at in Canterbury. The vehicle was comfortable and most importantly we could bring our morning coffee!

The trip to Leeds, Canterbury and the White Cliffs was perfect, all thanks to our guide, Oz. He was knowledgeable and interested offering many valuable insights into the history of the areas we visited. He planned the trip perfectly making the most use of the time we had. We didn’t sit in traffic and had more than enough time to visit every location, including free time to explore Canterbury. We highly recommend this trip.

Our second tour on our vacation with Tailored Tours and Oz. He is the perfect guide and extremely knowledgeable of UK history (he was a university degree in history) as well as fascinating tidbits regarding history's influence on current English language terms and the shaping of life today in the UK. Very helpful and patient helping my friend and me with our 80 year old moms who thoroughly enjoyed their time. His van is spacious, clean and comfortable and his driving is expert. We learned so much history complete with charming anecdotes. Highly recommend this or any tour with Tailored Tours and especially Oz!

We had a wonderful tour of Leeds Castle, the White Cliffs of Dover, and Canterbury. Our tour guide, Pablo, was one of the best who obviously loves history and was able to tell great stories based on the histories of each location we toured. As an example he went into great detail on about Leeds Castle, our first stop, naming who built it and how Lady Baillie and the efforts she put into restoring it along with her relationships while do so. Great tour and a excellent tour guide that made it special.

We were lucky to have Oz as our tour operator for a trip to Dover to meet our cruise ship and then a return pickup back to London. The return trip included tours of Leeds Castle and Canterbury Cathedral. Oz possesses unique knowledge given his History studies and passion for English lore.
