Wonderful guide. Made our trip to Canterbury that bit more informative.
Interesting tour lasting 1 hr 45 mins and covering principally the cathedral exterior as well as some of the surrounding streets and buildings plus the Chaucer statue.
Thank you for this kind review, we are so pleased you enjoyed your tour and found it a great introdution into Canterbury. Thank you again for booking with us.
Elena was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable about Canterbury and its history. Her enthusiasm meant we overran by 20 minutes or so but she didn’t seem to mind and we certainly didn’t.
Thank you for your lovely review; it's great to hear how much you enjoyed your tour of Canterbury with Elena
Elena was a great tour guide! She really helped the history of Canterbury to come alive for myself and my family. I loved the way she incorporated knowledge of linguistics, which deepened our understanding of the historical context. The tour hit a variety of landmarks from different important events. Highly recommend!
Thank you for your lovely review which we will pass on to Elena. Canterbury has such a fascinating history, with links to, and influences from many other countries. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in the city :)

Thank you for your review - we are so pleased that you enjoyed your guided tour of Canterbury with us :)
Fantastic. Shauni gave us a detailed history of Canterbury beginnings and old architecture of building including the eaves. The mother Church, the Canterbury Cathedral and story of Thomas Beckett. The walk around outside the Cathedral was informative. By the time we had our solo visit inside the we were glad that ,we did tour first.That made our day visit to Canterbury from London brilliant!
Wow, thank you for your lovely comments! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your tour so much, and to have been a part of your day trip to Canterbury
Margaret was our guide. Very clear and concerned with the safety of the group and steering us to shaded areas on a very hot day. As a former history teacher and citizen of the city, she was very clear and well-informed. A very interesting 90-minute tour.
We are delighted that you enjoyed your tour with Margaret, and appreciate you joining our tour on such a hot day!
David our guide was extremely knowledgable and very witty. This guy knows how to lead a guided tour . He didn’t rush any of the info at each of the stops , nor did he dwell overlong, and read the mood of the group…to pilgrims as everyone visiting Canterbury gets called…and was conscious of the extreme heat and sunshine that was prevalent that day. I liked his easy manner and style of guiding us around his city. There wasn’t a question he didn’t answer from the group . I’d recommend a walking tour when you visit this city.
Thank you so much for your lovely review - it is wonderful to hear how much you appreciated the guiding style and information given on your tour of Canterbury. We hope you will visit the city again.
As local as we are to Canterbury this guided tour was a wonderful experience, informative and revealing of the history of this city. The guide was welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. Well worth the time and effort, thank you
