Great trip to Canterbury - Guide was well informed of the area. She was also very considerate of people. She didn't go off in front too fast and waited for the group. Very enjoyable

Informative, enjoyable walk, guide was excellent (sorry, can't remember his name, but he was a mature gent with long white hair! - Very informative and entertaining walk. Family group of 4, total group around 20 people. Our guide was very knowledgeable and had a good sense of humour. Recommended, as you would walk past so many places without being aware of their historical relevance otherwise. Around 90 minutes in total.
