The stories from Canterbury - I really enjoyed the tour. It lasted, as promised, 1,5 hours. The guide, Sam, was great, and I learned a lot of stories about Canterbury. It was an evening walk, and only I came, and still it was done with equal enthusiasm, as there was a large group present. Thanks, Sam.

Fascinating tour of the historical landmarks of Canterbury - There were just the two of us and we had a wonderful personal tour of Canterbury with a lovely young man. He was extremely knowledgeable and adjusted his pace to suit my husband, who cannot walk fast. It was an inspiring hour or so and highlighted some interesting places which we would not have found otherwise. Well worth the money.

Factual, fun and friendly! - We had the delight of going on the 90 minute tour with the wonderful Sam. Sam is a brilliant tour guide and is very passionate about Canterbury and it's history. His engagement with the children was excellent pitching the information just right and responding to their questions and surprising answers to his. Would definitely recommend if you want to find out more about this beautifully historic place.

Fantastic tour of Canterbury - We had an amazing experience exploring city of Canterbury with our tour guide Sam. He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about history and this city. It’s great to do this tour early insure morning before tourist crowds fill the streets. It felt like we had it all to ourselves! We’ve seen lots of interesting places, buildings and have heard many stories related to this place. Some places we would never come across unless it would have been with this tour. We know so much more now and can’t wait to come back and explore in the future!

An outstanding experience with a great guide - We can thoroughly recommend this tour, Jane was a guide with an encyclopaedic knowledge of the city of Canterbury’s history and the Cathedral, which she conveyed in an accessible and engaging way. Jane also gave a a good steer about where to have lunch.
