Leeds Castle

Located in Kent, ‘The Garden of England’, lies Leeds Castle, a beautiful medieval castle frequently referred to as ‘the loveliest castle in the world’. With 500 acres of landscaped parkland to explore and impeccably maintained gardens to enjoy, it’s easy to see why this beautiful castle was a favoured castle of King Henry VIII, who gifted it to his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. In its 900-year history, the castle has been home to no fewer than six queens and served many functions, including acting as a garrison, prison and the stately private home of its most recent owners. Learn all about this and more as our expert tour guide brings its fascinating story to life.

Admission Included

Canterbury Cathedral

A designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, Canterbury Cathedral is both a serene place of holiness and beautiful tourist destination. As the Cathedral of the Archbishop, the spiritual leader of the Church of England, Canterbury holds a special place in British history. No ordinary Cathedral, Canterbury has a long history that is often described as ‘England in Stone’; from the role of its Archbishops in the Magna Carta to the murder of Thomas Becket after a power struggle with the King of England, Canterbury’s history is intertwined with that of England. Founded by St Augustine in 600 AD, the Cathedral today is one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in England, and the first building in the country to be redesigned in this popular style in 1774.

Admission Included

The White Cliffs of Dover

Soaring 350ft above the crashing waves of the English Channel, the White Cliffs of Dover are an instantly recognisable landmark of Britain. From Caesar to Shakespeare, some of history’s most important figures recognised the towering symbolism of the cliffs. Traditionally the site where British royalty would welcome overseas visitors, the cliffs served as an intimidating reminder of Britain's immovable resoluteness sense of independence.

Admission Not Included

Plenty of time given at all places, considering the distance from London. Guide was informative and funny on the bus, keeping the ride entertaining.

We had a wonderful day with our guide Andrew. We were not rushed at any stops, he was a wealth of knowledge, very polite and friendly. Leeds Castle was well worth the visit. Canterbury Church and town was beautiful. We even had time for lunch. My only observation here was it's a long walk from the bus stop to the church. My 80 yr old mother was having difficulty walking that far but Andrew jumped right in to help me with her walking. Cliffs of Dover was a nice stop and very educational. Andrew spent a lot of time talking about London history and places, it was all eye opening. Thank you for a great day!

Andrew was a fantastic, entertaining and knowledgeable guide! Zohir was highly competent, such a calm driver, and very thoughtful for some people who need bit more time getting on and off the bus.

Leslie was our tour guide, and Billy was our excellent driver. Leslie was fun, knowledgeable, professional and brought the history at the Cathedral to life. Canterbury Cathedral was incredible, the town was very quaint, the Roman walls amazing. Leeds Castle was beautiful. I will say it’s a great day trip for those with kids who can run around the beautiful grounds. However the castle has been rebuilt so many times since the historic kings and queens lived there, it felt more like a museum dedicated to the lady that owns it- than to royalty. I would’ve been fine skipping that and spending the time in Dover instead. I would like a trip that included the museum in the cliff and being able to walk around the Roman fortress. The weather was spectacular and I got to dip my feet into English Channel. A very fun day.

Leeds Castle was a surprise with great restoration and surrounding grounds of beautiful gardens. Loved the maze and hidden grotto. ONLY negative was our guide Eileen, who wanted to impress us with her extensive knowledge by continually droning on for nine straight hours of the ten hour tour. She talked about the root of various words she used, how Jesus is described as a carpenter but that is untrue, and the history of other countries that are the source of English - NOT Latin … etc.

Thoroughly enjoyed Leeds Castle. Our ability to enjoy the Cliffs of Dover was significantly reduced due to rain and fog. Very disappointing, but beyond the control of the tour. Canterbury Cathedral is spectacular and the town is fun to wander around in.

Eileen had lots of interesting and very informative stories during the trip! And thank you Billy for the safe drive!

Bus seat belts and seats uncomfortable for 11 hr day Tour guide Bill and driver Billie good Enjoyed Canterbury, Dover and Leeds Castle

Rebecca_S

Leeds Castle grounds were lovely and very family friendly. The Castle was focused on an owner Lady Baillie from the early 20th century which was a bit disappointing as I would prefer the earlier occupants. Still it was enjoyable.

Our guide Manon was excellent. Very knowledgeable and pleasant. The ride was safe and comfortable due to the skills of our driver and the quality of the coach.
