Fantastic service, very fun trip - Had a blast, Kevin is a really knowledgeable and fun driver, gave us the history of the areas we went to as well as some fun facts about England in general. Highly recommend
Going to each town, you are free to do whatever you want for the allotted time there. At the end you get to see the white cliffs and take some pictures, worth it if you want to see them.

A great way to get out of the city and explore more of Englands vast history and countryside. - Our guide was Christian and he was fantastic. He provided excellent commentary and history. He was an amazing driver in sometimes hectic traffic. Canterbury Cathedral was so beautiful. Lunch in Deal, along the coast, was just the right touch. The Cliffs of Dover were wonderful though our time there was short. We just wish we had more time to explore and hike along the cliffs. I also wish a small map of Canterbury would be provided as we almost missed our turn for the cathedral and would have wasted precious time if we had. Overall, it was a great way to get out of the city and see some of the beautiful countryside. Having a small group was also a plus.

Wonderful Day Tour - Great size for a day tour! On time, nice van, great tour operator in Christian. (Hope right name) Canterbury is a wonderful town! Lots of super cute shops and eatery. The church is wonderful. Deal was nice but only enough time eat, so really did not see much. Would be a great trip in the better weather months. White Cliffs of Dover are great. I would of liked more time here walk further. But as it is a tour, there are people who cannot and just want a quick tour. So this tour is perfect for quickly be able to get out of London for the day and get a feel for more of England. GO Tour was excellent.

This was a wonderful... - This was a wonderful excursion. Our tour guide, Kevin, was an excellent guide. He kept the tour interesting with great stories and facts throughout the tour.
Visiting Canterbury and the Canterbury cathedral was impressive. Our focus was visiting the cathedral so we did just a little bit of exploring in the city. Make sure to have some spare change to able to use the restroom located by the bus drop off area.
The stop in the town of Deal was nice to see. We went to the Castle of Deal. It was interesting to see the structure of the castle. This was a shirt stop, so there wasn’t a lot of time to see the town. It was great to see the beach area.
The cliffs of Dover were the last stop. Such a beautiful and scenic area. It was quite windy and cold so we didn’t walk a lot of the way but enjoyed the trip.

Highly recommend, excellent tour guide and value - Highly recommend this convenient and exciting day trip! Our tour guide, Kevin, was super informative, helpful and accommodating while providing fantastic commentary on the historical significance of the villages. He had a perfect balance of explaining the history sharing intriguing facts and engaging with us while allowing us to have a well needed rest on the van. Canterbury was a small town to get around and we had plenty of time to explore the cathedral which was mesmerising to say the least. The quick lunch stop at deal for some fish and chips was just what we needed before heading to the white dover cliffs. The walk to the view point was easy and worth the journey from London. A wonderful experience with excellent value for money!!

Deal or no Deal ! - We journeyed with this tour company , the bus was clean and there was heaps of room . A bit of a scary drive at times, with the driver having a couple of near misses ! Not sure if he was tired or this was normal driving however it was definitely time for seat belts to be on !
It would be great if the tour operator actually took a walking tour in the towns that we stopped as it felt a bit like a taxi service . The scenery and towns that we visited were amazing and lunch at Dealwas lovely .
