We enjoyed Canterbury and especially the White Cliffs of Dover. It was nice to have a small group and our driver/tour guide was very knowledgeable and informative. Fish and chips lunch in Deal was great.

Our tour guide, Kevin, was fantastic! He gave us tips, tricks, and history not only at our destination but all along the way too. We learned so much about London and the smaller English towns we passed through in Kent. Kevin had recommendations for shops, food, etc every where we went!

I took two one day Go Tours on a recent trip to England. First was day tour to the Cotswolds, and the second I took based on experience with the first, was Canterbury and White Cliffs of Dover. Both were excellent - small groups, we were sent out to experience sites by ourselves rather than follow a talking guide, buses were excellent with large windows, guides very knowledgeable and personable.

We liked the smaller tour group- no more than 16 people. The van was clean and comfortable. Our guide, David, was friendly and knowledgeable. The White Cliff of Dover were hard to see due to fog and our angle of walking on a trail parallel to the cliff. Canterbury Cathedral was beautiful. An audio headset is important to learn about the different aspects of the cathedral. We had lunch in Deal. A stop at a quaint village for a short time would have been welcomed. Canterbury was a bit touristy. Again, we were in rush hour traffic into London for about one hour returning back. A dinner in a small village might have been a good choice to avoid some of the traffic.

This was an amazing excursion to the coast of England. Our guide Justin was fantastic. He offered lots of bits of history along the route along with lots of laughs. The cliffs and Canterbury were gorgeous and had a delicious lunch at the end of the pier in Deal. Would recommend this trip to anyone looking for a day trip while visiting London.
