A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it’s no wonder it draws endless visitors. Not only that, but it truly is also a specular feat of engineering and a stunning example of Gothic architecture, from its spires to its stained-glass windows, its crypt to the shrine of St. Thomas Becket.
Dating back to the 11th century, Dover Castle was constructed by none other than William the Conqueror. Over the centuries, it was expanded and fortified, becoming one of the most formidable strongholds in all of England. Today it’s frequented by visitors and film crews – you may recognise it from films such as Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) and The Hollow Crown: The Wars of the Roses (2016). You’ll have several hours here to explore all the secrets and history this castle is home to.
Striking and iconic, these white cliffs are well-known around the world. Throughout history, the cliffs have acted as both a natural fortification for the English coastline and as a symbolic welcome to travellers arriving by sea.

We ended up being the only people who signed up for our tour date, so we got an amazing personal experience! It was wonderful to visit all of the different sights along the tour, and Graham made the journey enjoyable with stories, history, and recommendations of the best spots to check out. This was our 3rd trip with Rabbie’s, and we can’t recommend them enough! They are the best small group tour company, hands down.
We really loved the tour, although having a little more time at the White Cliffs would have been nice, but it depends on the weather. Dover Castle was amazing!
Mark was an excellent tour guide. I enjoyed the personal touch. The day was beautiful and the sights amazing.
We took the Rabbie's Tour to Oxford and the Cotswolds in rural England on May 2, 2026. Graham was our tour guide. He gave lots of history on the the area. He was the best. He talked about artists from the UK region. He had some good jokes as well. Five stars to Graham and Rabbie's Tours.
We love Rabbie's trips. The driver Francis kept us entertained and gave us lots of interesting information. The only negative was the time at the cliffs was too short. By the time I got up the hill, I only had time to snap a few pics and hurry back. I easily could have spent an hour at the top. Dover castle was a longer stop but I couldn't do stairs, so that limited my options. We did have a lovely cream tea and scone in the Cafe. I'd love to see them offer some slower day trips geared for seniors or those with limited mobility.
Could have used some more time at Dover Castle and Canterbury. Guide spent too much time talking about his personal life…partner and mother. At time his accent was hard to understand. A handout of the sites would have been helpful.
Trip was great. The mini bus was really comfortable with reclining leather seats. Tour guide did a nice job in and around London and then again when we got close to each destination. Note this isn't a fully guided tour, but rather you get dropped off and picked back up at each destination. I'm not sure why this tour doesn't have more ratings on Viator, but if you aren't convinced, just Google the tour provider.
Nick was a wonderful tour guide for our day trip to Canterbury, Dover Castle and the Dover cliffs! He had a wealth of knowledge he shared and appeared passionate about his job and the history of the area. The vehicle was clean. The time spent at each location was sufficient.
