Itinerario
Situato nel Kent, nel "Giardino d'Inghilterra" si trova il castello di Leeds, un bellissimo castello medievale spesso definito come "il più bel castello del mondo". Con 200 ettari circa di terreno erboso e alberato paesaggistico da esplorare e giardini curati in modo impeccabile da godersi, è facile capire perché questo splendido castello è stato scelto come dimora da re Enrico VIII, che lo regalò alla sua prima moglie, Caterina d'Aragona. Nel corso dei suoi 900 anni di storia, il castello è stato sede di non meno di sei regine e ha svolto numerose funzioni, tra cui guarnigione militare, prigione e maestosa residenza privata dei suoi più recenti proprietari. Scopri tutto questo e molto altro ancora mentre la nostra guida esperta del tour ti racconta la sua affascinante storia.
Sito Patrimonio dell'Umanità dell'UNESCO, la cattedrale di Canterbury è un luogo tranquillo di santità e una bellissima meta turistica. La cattedrale dell'arcivescovo di Canterbury, leader spirituale della chiesa d'Inghilterra, occupa un posto speciale nella storia britannica. Non è una cattedrale ordinaria: ha una lunga storia, spesso descritta come "Inghilterra in pietra"; dal ruolo del suo arcivescovo nella Magna Carta all'assassinio di Thomas Becket dopo una lotta di potere con il re d'Inghilterra, la storia di Canterbury si intreccia con quella dell'Inghilterra. Fondata da Sant'Agostino nel 600 d.C., la cattedrale è oggi uno dei migliori esempi di architettura gotica in Inghilterra e il primo edificio nel Paese a essere riprogettato in questo stile popolare nel 1774.
Il Castello di Dover è un castello medievale nel Kent, in Inghilterra. Fu fondato nell'XI secolo ed è stato soprannominato la "Chiave per l'Inghilterra" per la sua importanza difensiva nel corso della storia. È il castello più grande in Inghilterra.
A circa 105 metri sopra le onde che si infrangono del Canale della Manica, le bianche scogliere di Dover sono un punto di riferimento immediatamente riconoscibile della Gran Bretagna. Da Cesare a Shakespeare, alcune delle figure più importanti della storia hanno riconosciuto il gigantesco simbolismo delle scogliere. Le scogliere erano tradizionalmente il luogo in cui i reali britannici accoglievano i visitatori oltreoceano e fungevano da promemoria intimidatorio del saldo senso di indipendenza della Gran Bretagna.

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.
