“Our guide was incredible ! She knew a lot and explained history well. I could tell she was a former teacher. Loved this tour! Highly recommend! Lori and karen Arizona”
Private 3-hour Kent tour from Canterbury with historian Dr Anthony Medhurst, White Cliffs of Dover views, and a guided city walk.
“This is why you hire a local to spend a morning touring the Kent countryside and Canterbury. You will still see the high points but you also get the best place to come back later and people watch near the Cathedral along with history and conversation while driving through the beautiful countryside to see the homes, gardens and churches that make this part of the world so special. We had a great time and I highly recommend this tour. Thank you!”
A low-cost self-guided walk through murder and miracles in Canterbury, with offline audio, an easy map, and free outdoor stops.
“It was not bad just that the audio guide for some stops were a little brief. More photos in the app would have been good too. But overall it’s pretty good for those who don’t have a whole lot of time and want a simple quick tour at their own pace”
Private Canterbury tour with a Blue Badge guide, Canterbury Tales and Thomas Becket stories, plus a guided Cathedral visit. Entrance extra.
“Liz was very good but value for money very poor £235 for tour and then £82 for the entrance into cathedral”
Every kind of day out in the country, best first.
