Great way to explore for a day trip out of London! - Sophie was our tour guide and she was lovely and had so much knowledge to share with the tour group, we really enjoyed having her as our tour guide! Tony was our driver and navigated getting us out of the city and back into it with ease, got us where we needed to be safely! We had so much fun on this tour and would absolutely recommend it to anyone who wants to get out of the city and see more of England. Dover Castle was very cool, definitely do the Dynamo tour! The White Cliffs were absolutely stunning, wish we had another hour there to explore and take in the sights but that is ok! The cows were out grazing when we went and that was an unexpected highlight for me! Canterbury cathedral was absolutely stunning and so glad we got to see that! There is a fish and chips restaurant war the cathedral that was very tasty, definitely grab dinner there!!

Who Cares About the Rain? - Sure, you’d hope for a clear dry day on the cliffs of Dover, but really. This is England! So you grab your bad weather gear and straighten your shoulders and you know what? You have a wonderful wonderful time! Rain came and went all day, the wind in Dover was so strong it kept whipping my waterproof poncho over my head, and none of that mattered. Because our tour guide Nick was an absolute joy. As he shepherded us through Dover Castle, the cliffs, and Canterbury, he turned our collection of strangers into a group. He was funny, charming, and took great care of us. His genuine enthusiasm for history was infectious, and he shared some fascinating (& often hilarious) trivia. The itinerary for this tour is great, and I’m sure I would have enjoyed it at any time and under any guidance; but to have had a blast on a day like this one, I have to give all the credit to Nick (and a tip of the hat to his remarkably calm driver, Zetti, who had to navigate that weather). Highly recommended!

Tour to cotswold - Great tour ytd to Cotwold by Brandon. Nice and chill. Only 6 people in the tour surprisingly but perhaps it is because weather was bad.

Great way to get a glimpse of Dover and Canterbury - This was a great way to experience all three locations without worrying about transportation. While the time at individual locations, particularly the castle, seemed a tad short, this was to be expected on a tour like this where we were seeing multiple locations. We particularly liked that this tour stopped at BOTH the castle AND the cliffs. All our expectations were met or exceeded, Calum and our driver were great, and overall this was a fantastic day out.

Fantastic experience! - The three components of these tours all touch on essential components of British history. The tour guide and driver (Caleb and Grant, respectively) were both personable and professional. They clearly enjoy their work. The tour inspired in us a desire to these locations for more extended stays in the future. Highly recommended!

A wonderful tour. - Dover Castle is extraordinary, as are the White Cliffs and the great Cathedral at Canterbury. Given the pronounced difficulties of driving through London, together with the fact that two-week visitors such as ourselves don't really have the time to relocate to secondary cities for extensive periods, a tour such as this one is a good option. You aren't going to see everything (any of the above-mentioned sights could cover several days), but at least this way you get a good taste of everything. The tour guides -- Caleb and Grant -- were both personable and highly professional. I strongly recommend the tour.

Great sites. Avoid Anderson Tours. - You should see all of these sites. But avoid Anderson Tours when you do it. If I were rating just the sites they’d get the highest rating. Dover Castle provided great views (you could see across the Channel to France the day we were there) and some amazing history. The White Cliffs were spellbinding. And the town and cathedral in Canterbury were amazing. Just find a different company to do it with.
We’ve been on a few guided tours here and Anderson gave us the worst one by far. We arrived early at the departure point and found no one there. In fact, just 10 minutes before we were supposed to leave still no one had arrived—or so we thought. I had to call twice to make sure we were in the right place (the picture of the meeting place Anderson provided was wrong). As a travel bus pulled up, we felt relieved but then annoyed as a man emerged from the stop we’d been at for a while, removed his headphones and announced he was our guide. It was all downhill from there. Off-colour jokes. Poor directions. I don’t have energy to explain them all. I’ll summarize by saying that on the few times he guided our tour, he led us about with a black flag that read “Loudmouth.” It was on brand (a brand I refused to pose with, incidentally, during a photo despite his request). The bus also had a window that squeaked loudly the entire trip. Find someone better. Won’t be hard.

Paid for nothing - Did not get to see anything. Dover Castle and cliffs closed due to the weather. Canterbury cathedral was closed without notice. We got the notice regarding the Dover cliffs and castle stating that there may be a chance that they will be closed. We figured that we would at least be able to see the Cathedral. Well, without notification, the Cathedral was closed. We paid $160 to basically ride around in a bus for a day. The only positive thing experienced was the professionalism and politeness of the driver and guide.
