Sylvius, Chala, and Tom were exceptional professionals. Tom’s entertaining and informative presentations added value with historical knowledge without being overwhelming. My grandson and I thoroughly enjoyed our day.
Tom was very knowledgeable and gave alot of insight to the stops... Solving and Chala very efficient and friendly.
Great guide! Gave lots of details and amusing information on sights and English history. The drive to all sites was smooth.
Our guide talked way too much and 90% of what he said was absolute hogwash. The man. Would not. Stop talking. He tried to get out of paying the parking fee at the Battle of Britain memorial which is just shameful. We hung on to the end to do the "river cruise" which was just the uber boat with windows too dirty to see anything. Save your money and book elsewhere!
Dear Callie, Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we are sorry to hear that the tour guide was not to your liking. The guide usually receives positive feedback, but we understand that everyone has different expectations of a guide. Regarding the parking, the driver was responsible for the payment, and there appears to have been a misunderstanding about this. The river cruise is a leisurely journey back to London from Greenwich, and no guiding is included during the cruise. We apologise if the windows were dirty and affected your enjoyment of the views, as this is not the experience we aim to offer. Kind regards, Premium Tours Team
Nicholas was Awesome! My Mom is British and I lived in England for four years myself 20 years ago and we both learned so much on this trip in a fun way. He is one of, if not the Best tour guide I've ever had. He gave us great tips about travel while here but truly was kind, professional and fun all at that same time! We also had a wonderful driver, George. The two are a dynamic duo. He got us extra time by his savvy driving and he even charged my phone for me twice because my battery was getting low due to taking A LOT of photos. Highly recommend these guys and this tour company!
James and Fermin were great on our tour today! James is full of info!! Fermin navigated us thru the tour like a champ! Loved the entire tripe. I would recommend to all!
Our guide, Richard, possesses the knowledge and capability to keep us fully informed of the history, people, structures, and customers of the Kent and London area. The Leeds castle is unique in the fact that unlike most old castles it was recently inhabited ( by a wealthy socialite who in keeping with the original design further embellished and maintained this gem of a castle. The Canterbury cathedral is huge and the focus of pilgrimages in the past. This tour covered a large area, and a large variety of very interesting sites. With the guides help we really enjoyed ourselves and learned a lot. Very well worth the investment of time and money.
Very enjoyable. Tour guide Tom and driver Alan were great. Very long day, but would have been nice to have more time in Canterbury.
Nicolas was an awesome guide. Very informative and had a fun personality. It wasn't just your typical guide who had the tour rehearsed. Our group had 10 guest and we really enjoyed our trip. I highly recommend doing this and request Nicholas as a guide.
This was an amazing day trip from London. Our small group had 12 people from various English-speaking countries. Our guide, Andrew, gave us a great explanation of the sights we passed as we traveled through London down to Kent. We started with an early-entry tour of Leeds castle and had enough free time to explore the gardens on our own. Then we stopped at the Battle of Britain Memorial where we had wonderful views of the White Cliffs of Dover. We passed through Dover on our way to Canterbury. We had plenty of free time to tour the cathedral and the town. On our way back to London, we walked through Greenwich and boarded a boat that took us under the Tower Bridge. It was a wonderful day, and Andrew was the perfect guide. Highly recommend
