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.

Excellent Trip, more time at Cliffs! - This trip was great. We got to see everything we wanted and Oliver, our guide was excellent as was Kieran, our bus driver. The bus was clean and even had screens for the kids to play games while in between stops. My only critique would be that the stop at the Cliffs/Battle Memorial, was quite quick. We could’ve used more time there and less time at Leeds Castle, but maybe that’s just me as a WW2 history buff.

Would recommend this tour, as it required no extensive walking. Thoroughly enjoyed it! - Oliver and Kieran were excellent tour guides and we really enjoyed this tour. Oliver was very informative and even pointed out important sites in London as we were leaving the city!

Memorable day - Our tour Guide Peter Rabbit and our driver Ashley were courteous and kind. Lovely your. I will always need more time at all sights but that is me. Leeds Castle was delightful, a shocking acceptance of 13th and 16th century architecture mixed with 20th century american furnishings and design. Canterbury Cathedral, the history of King Henry viii predominantly owns this area and the beautiful design. Unfortunately we had a foggy morning going to Dover and saw nothing of the cliffs, France or the water. But..we saw th British war Memorial,which was emotional, the Queen Mothers dedication and the poppies for the memory of the war as we went close to Rememberance day.

Great tour. Very well organized. - Great tour! Our tour guide Amanda was energetic and engaging. She was always ready to snap pictures of us, and offer recommendations of what to see, and where to eat. Our driver was extremely professional and courteous. He navigated England's narrow roads with ease and got us safely to each stop of tour. This tour allowed us to see so many historical locations in a single day without having to worry about transportation, or waiting in ticket lines. Highly recommend.

Fun and Gorgeous Way to See Outside London - Our guide Ana and bus driver were fabulous. There was a lot of traffic and part of the highway backed up, and they were on the ball and changed some stuff up so we still had a fantastic day but also didn’t spend hours stuck in traffic!

Great Tour - I visited all 4 sites, and none of them disappointed. Pablo was a fantastic guide. Very informative, hilarious and animated. Koli is an MPV for the amount of driving he did.

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.
