Canterbury Cathedral, Dover Castle & White Cliffs Guided Day Tour from London

This was an excellent day! The guide and driver were fantastic. As a solo traveler, it was great to be able to see Dover and Canterbury with a group of people. My favorite part of the trip was the Cliffs. I could have stayed the entire day there.

We had a beautiful day for our journey, our pickup spot was just across the street from the tube station which made it super convenient. Andy was our tour guide and he was excellent. The tour bus was air conditioned which certainly helped on a hot day. Dover castle was amazing especially the ww2 underground tunnels. The view of the cliffs was breathtaking. Our last stop was Canterbury and the cathedral. What a beautiful cathedral and we found an excellent restaurant for dinner (on our own ). Would definitely recommend this trip. Like I mentioned it was a hot day but that’s no one’s fault.

Dover Castle is a beautiful property to explore. The site has hills and a lot of steps. The ancient tunnels take you to the Spur-where you get nice photos of the castle. The WW11 tunnels tour was another bonus. The white cliffs of Dover are near the castle, and a short walk to view. Canterbury is a charming town to walk around. Andy made the trip fun, and he took care of us.

We experienced some wonderful places and would do this tour again. We did have some difficulties keeping up with our tour guide and hearing what she was saying. She began talking before the entire group arrived to her location.

Overall this was a fun excursion. First off Russell was an entertaining host. He was friendly and made our trip to Dover and Canterbury pleasant. All three stops were breathtaking and I only wish we got to spend more time at each. I don't know why these tours try to jam in as many events as possible into one trip. I'd far rather have spent longer and booked two trips. If you're a slow walker, or want to drink in your experience with time for a bite you're not going to get to see much of Dover Castle in the time scheduled. I also wouldn't call this a tour. It was more of a shuttle with a bit of wit along the way. We were read some quotes and shared a few poems and songs, but there is so much of the history of each location I would have loved to have delved more into. You're also not guided at the actual locations, other than to point out the way and time to get back to the bus which was a bit disappointing. We were basically dropped off and then left on our own to explore. Perhaps what some prefer, but I could've taken a train and achieved a similar result. That said, if you are looking for a day tour to see a few places with minimal planning, this is a great way to do so.

Calum, our tour guide, and the driver were excellent. Very enjoyable trip!

The walking at Do er Castle is very strenuous. Don’t go to WWII Caves if you have trouble walking up steep hills.

The tour was very interesting. I however suggest to spend more time in Dover. The day we arrived, lots of school kids were visiting and the tunnel.and hospital tour were not open to public until 1.5 hours after our arrival. Because of this we missed some areas.

Most impressive part of this tour was the flexibility in which you can do it. I will start with saying you should definately attempt to go on an "off" day such as Monday or Tuesday as we did. The admission fees were included in the ticket, but the guidle allowed for great flexibility with advice and guidance on how to make the most of your experience. The driver was clearly skilled! While the guide Calum's jokes were hit or miss as all guides tend to be, his friendliness, open nature, and good guidance were definately consistent. It is a full day tour in every sense of the meaning, it felt like a complete away day, but increased the sense that you got a bit of bang for your buck.

The view was amazing in the white cliff and informative in Dover castle.
