Perfect day trip - Thank you, Christian, for an amazing day! Canterbury Cathedral was a beautiful experience and we appreciated your expertise in getting us to the spots to see while they were still open to the public. We definitely would not have managed those intricacies on our own. Leeds Castle was also a great site to visit and a gem we wouldn’t have found on our own.
The Cliffs of Dover were breath-taking to behold! Most of all, thank you for adding St. Margaret’s Bay and Ian Fleming’s house so I could get my toes in the water. It was the topper to a day I will never forget! There’s nothing quite like a private tour. Thank you again for a flawless, informative, and perfect day!

Great way to get out of London and see some countryside - Ozzy, our guide, and Christian, our driver, were a delight. Very knowledgeable of the area and full of good stories. They adjusted the tour where they could to accomodate our interests - we spent a little less time in the Dover area and a little more at in Canterbury. The vehicle was comfortable and most importantly we could bring our morning coffee!

Wonderful Day Trip - The trip to Leeds, Canterbury and the White Cliffs was perfect, all thanks to our guide, Oz. He was knowledgeable and interested offering many valuable insights into the history of the areas we visited. He planned the trip perfectly making the most use of the time we had. We didn’t sit in traffic and had more than enough time to visit every location, including free time to explore Canterbury. We highly recommend this trip.

Wonderful trip to Canterbury and White Cliffs of Dover - Our second tour on our vacation with Tailored Tours and Oz. He is the perfect guide and extremely knowledgeable of UK history (he was a university degree in history) as well as fascinating tidbits regarding history's influence on current English language terms and the shaping of life today in the UK. Very helpful and patient helping my friend and me with our 80 year old moms who thoroughly enjoyed their time. His van is spacious, clean and comfortable and his driving is expert. We learned so much history complete with charming anecdotes. Highly recommend this or any tour with Tailored Tours and especially Oz!

Wonderful Leeds Castle, White Cliffs of Dover and Canterbury tour. - We had a wonderful tour of Leeds Castle, the White Cliffs of Dover, and Canterbury. Our tour guide, Pablo, was one of the best who obviously loves history and was able to tell great stories based on the histories of each location we toured. As an example he went into great detail on about Leeds Castle, our first stop, naming who built it and how Lady Baillie and the efforts she put into restoring it along with her relationships while do so.
Great tour and a excellent tour guide that made it special.

Outstanding guide in knowledge, service and friendliness - We were lucky to have Oz as our tour operator for a trip to Dover to meet our cruise ship and then a return pickup back to London. The return trip included tours of Leeds Castle and Canterbury Cathedral. Oz possesses unique knowledge given his History studies and passion for English lore.

The best private tour - I've wanted to visit England since learning about the history of the British Empire in school. I finally got the opportunity to visit and wanted to get the best experience. I googled the best tours and after a little research I came across TT.
Going on the reviews of past tours I decided to give them a go and boy am I glad that I did. I was travelling solo and my guide for the day, Ozzie, really lived up to the company name and tailored everything to my wishes. We had an amazing time in Kent and I learnt so much about the history of the county as well as the whole country, the monarchy and so much more besides.
I was treated like a king for the day and loved every minute.
Thank you so much, Ozzie and everyone at TT for making my day!

Great day out with Oz - We had such a wonderful day with Oz in Canterbury, Dover and Leeds Castle. In the morning he gave us the choice to see canterbury or Dover first, which we really liked being able to have that flexibility. Leeds Castle was so pretty as well. A real highlight of our trip. Thank you Oz!
