Great tour overall! - Our guide Martin and driver, Mudu, were excellent. A great tour to take in the various sights without being rushed, great knowledge and opportunity to learn.

Leeds and Canterbury as a family. - Beautiful places even though it did not accompany the weather (very rainy, cold and windy). Our guide, Oliver, managed to make the tour at Leeds Castle which was closed by the weather and a wedding that would take place there. And I got a specialist guide to tell us about Thomas Becket in Canterbury. The cliffs, impossible because the wind didn't allow it. Sokol, our driver on the tour to Bath and this, very friendly and professional. Thank you both.

Nice full day excursion trip despite weather/fog issues. - Nice day trip outside of London on Boxing Day. Our guide, Oliver, provided history & information regarding London & our excursion sites throughout the trip. He walked us to a nice place to take pictures at Leeds Castle. Since it was Boxing Day, not all sites were available nor were places fully staffed. Oliver asked for a historian at Canterbury Cathedral to talk to our group which was nice. He was well organized & kept us all on time. We had some really bad fog as well & unfortunately could not do the Dover Cliffs. Oliver worked with our driver, Abdul to take us to a lower valley area in Dover along the shore which was a nice accommodation for missing the cliffs. The trip also provided a nice return trip through some scenic destinations in London which was a nice touch

Perfect Day Trip - Paul was a great guide! Perfect touches of humor with his history lessons throughout the day. He took the time to speak with each person to help us figure out how to get home at the conclusion of our tour which was lovely. Our driver was great and I didn’t get car sick at all which was a highlight for my day.

Canterbury, Leeds and Dover - The Guides historical commentary gave the trip nice depth. Canterbury and Leeds Castle were important sites. There needs to be another 20 minutes allotted for Canterbury as that is the lunch stop and it was too hurried. The ending was spectacular near the Royal Naval College. The boat ride from Greenwich to London was a great end. It is a tour with a fair amount of walking but well worth it.
