Rejseplan
Beliggende i Kent, 'The Garden of England', ligger Leeds Castle, et smukt middelalderligt slot, der ofte omtales som 'verdens smukkeste slot'. Med 500 hektar anlagt parkland for at udforske og upåklageligt opretholdt haver at nyde, er det nemt at se, hvorfor dette smukke slot var et begunstiget slot af kong Henry VIII, der gav det til sin første kone, Ateronien i Aragon. I sin 900-årige historie har slottet været hjemsted for ikke mindre end seks dronninger og tjent mange funktioner, herunder optræden som garnison, fængsel og det statlige private hjem for sine seneste ejere. Lær alt om dette og mere som vores ekspert tour guide bringer sin fascinerende historie til livet.
Et udpeget UNESCO World Heritage Site, Canterbury Cathedral er både et fredfyldt sted for hellighed og smukke turistmål. Som ærkebiskopens katedral, den engelske kirkes åndelige leder, har Canterbury et særligt sted i britisk historie. Ingen almindelig domkirke, Canterbury har en lang historie, der ofte beskrives som 'England in Stone'; fra rollen som dens ærkebiskopper i Magna Carta til mordet på Thomas Becket efter en magtkamp med Kongen af England, er Canterhays historie sammenflettet med Englands. Katedralen i dag er grundlagt af St. Augustine i 600 e.Kr., og er en af de fineste eksempler på gotisk arkitektur i England og den første bygning i landet, der skal redesignes i denne populære stil i 1774.
Dover Castle er et middelalderligt slot i Dover, Kent, England. Det blev grundlagt i det 11. århundrede og er blevet beskrevet som "Nøglen til England" på grund af sin defensive betydning gennem historien. Det er det største slot i England.
Opstigning 350ft over den engelske kanals bølger, de hvide klipper i Dover er et øjeblikkeligt genkendeligt vartegn for Storbritannien. Fra Caesar til Shakespeare anerkendte nogle af historiens vigtigste figurer klippernes højhøjde symbolik. Traditionelt stedet hvor britiske royalty ville byde oversøiske besøgende, tjente klipperne som en skræmmende påmindelse om Storbritanniens ubesværede uafhængighedsfølelse.

After almost not being allowed on the bus (booked my ticket the night before and my name was not on the tour guides roster), the coach ride to Leeds Castle in Broomfield, Maidstone, Kent (NOT Leeds) was lovely. The castle was purchased by Olivia Baille in 1926 for £180,000 (over £7.4m in 2019 pounds) and renovated beautifully. The Cliffs of Dover were spectacular and Pais de Calai France was visible (20 miles/32km). Canterbury Cathedral and town were full of history. Pope Gregory sent St Augustine to establish Canterbury in 597 AD (CE). It was the site of the assassination of Archbishop Tomas Beckett in 1170. It contains the oldest picture of Jesus in England (600sAD). Many of the walls contained colored frescoes that have faded away or were removed. The King’s School (597AD) that is attached to the cathedral is the oldest formal school in the world. Highly recommend this tour for its scenery, views of Kent and eastern England, and its rich history.
The pick up location was in the bus terminal so it was easy to find. Our guide and driver were attentive, entertaining, and knowledgeable. Even when there was an issue with traffic and a special event at one location, they tried to adjust in the best way for us, and even extended the tour time to make sure we saw all the sights.
The excursion was quite disappointing. They notified us only five days before that it would finally be in English. The bus was very uncomfortable, with small seats and little legroom. In Dover we were barely there for about 20 minutes at the port and we could hardly see the cliffs. Leeds Castle was the best part of the day. Canterbury was left for last, with a very brief guided tour of the cathedral and little more than an hour of free time to visit the city and eat, so we were barely able to enjoy it. The organization and the distribution of time were clearly improvable.
Dear guest, Gracias por tomarse el tiempo de compartir su experiencia con nosotros. Lamentamos sinceramente que la excursión no haya cumplido con sus expectativas. Entendemos especialmente su decepción por haber recibido con tan poca antelación la confirmación de que la excursión sería finalmente en inglés. También lamentamos que el autobús no le resultara cómodo y que la distribución del tiempo en Dover y Canterbury le pareciera insuficiente. Agradecemos sus comentarios sobre la duración de las visitas, la organización y el reparto de los tiempos. Nos alegra saber, al menos, que Leeds Castle fue lo mejor de su día. Compartiremos sus observaciones con el equipo correspondiente, ya que este tipo de comentarios nos ayuda a identificar aspectos que podemos mejorar. Lamentamos las molestias ocasionadas y agradecemos sinceramente sus comentarios. Un cordial saludo, Evan Evans Tours Team
The guide, Norma, and the bus driver argued about the route. The driver braked hard, stopped quickly. Norma repeated herself often: dry conditions, crops grown in Kent, the number of trucks on the road, etc. The tour is good; the personnel were poor.

This tour was cancelled the. Ight before but I received no andvance of that. Fortunately, Evan Evans offereed me a substituto tour, because the one to Leeds Castle, Canterbury and Dover was not going to be available any day during the week I was in London. The tour that they offered me to Oxford , Stratford and Warwick Castle was good, just not the one I had booked.
