Resplan
Du kör över de berömda vita klipporna och leder in i Kent, ett jordbruksområde som matar London från sina fruktträdgårdar, hoppfält och vingårdar. Njut av den härliga utsikten när du gör den korta, 45 minuters resa till Canterbury, säte för engelska kristendomen sedan 597 e.Kr.
Lyssna på dina guider regale historier om historia av staden och katedralen. Du kommer att höra medeltida berättelser från Canterbury-författare, Geoffrey Chaucer och Christopher Marlowe, samt berättelser om Reformationen och Blitz. Då kan du njuta av fritiden att utforska staden på egen hand och besöka Canterbury Cathedral om du vill (egen kostnad) Efter två timmar i Canterbury, reser vi över Weald of Kent - en hög åsna - och leder ner till Leeds Castle.
Berömt kallat "det vackraste slottet i världen" och grundat på 9-talet är Leeds Castle mest känt som ett palats för många drottningar i England. Längs vägen hör du fascinerande kommentarer från din guide om monarkerna och ödet som hände dem! Tillbringa tre timmar på det vackra slottet, som ligger på två öar på en sjö, och utforska dess anmärkningsvärda interiör samt grunderna och trädgårdarna med din guide. Beundra rum som biblioteket och festsalen, och bli förvånad över det enastående museet av utsmyckade hundkrafter! Utomhus, gå igenom den komplicerade labyrinten och njut av grottan och vattenfunktionerna. Om du vill kan du äta på en avkopplande lunch i ett av kaféerna eller restaurangerna med utsikt över marken (egen kostnad).

This was a very nice way to get from our cruise ship to our hotel. There were ten people in the van and our tour guide was delightful. She found us at the cruise terminal and we were dropped at our hotel. The tour of Canterbury and Leeds Castle were very nice. One thing I would point out is that quite a bit of walking was involved, probably close to 6 miles in all, on our particular trip it was a very hot day so this impacted the activity.
Tour guide Sue was a very informative guide. Show us what's of interesting sites.I would definitely book with her again.
They were waiting when we disembarked the cruise ship. There were only six of us so it was a van not a bus. The ride was comfortable and the guide knew her stuff. The ride to Canterbury was less than an hour. The guide gave us some historical information, showed us around then we had some free time before meeting up at the van. Short ride to Leeds Castle where again the guide gave us info then we toured the castle on our own. Everyone could go at their own pace. The guide left after Leeds and the driver took us to London. Dropped off the airport couple first. Then he took the rest of us directly to our hotel. We had different hotels so he dropped off in order of distance. We were the last drop off and the driver gave us more history, tips and information. London was busy so these tips helped quite a bit. Both the driver and guide were friendly and knowledgeable. Would take this tour again. The drop off in London made our day a lot less stressful than trying to get to London on our own and figure out how to get to the hotel while dragging bags.
Was a very good tour and worth the time and cost to do! Best part is being dropped off at or near our hotel(s) at the end of the day into London. Traffic is very heavy and our driver got us thru all it and on a timely basis. We highly recomend doing this tour if your either staying over in London or heading the Heathrow.
A wonderful experience, very professional and friendly tour guide who made everything more interesting with her insights and knowledge. Our friendly driver was also excellent
We had a great time on this post-cruise tour from Dover and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and scenic way to spend the day before heading to London. The stops at Canterbury and Leeds Castle were well chosen, and both offered unique experiences. Our guide was very knowledgeable and did a fantastic job leading the walking tour through Canterbury. However, we felt that the walking tour could have been shorter—perhaps about half the length—as it left us with very limited time to explore the stunning Canterbury Cathedral on our own. A bit more free time there would have made the visit even more enjoyable. Leeds Castle was a highlight! We felt the timing there was just about right—maybe even slightly more than we needed—but it was a beautiful and peaceful stop. The only hiccup was a miscommunication at the beginning of the tour. We had been told to wait at the cruise terminal for a driver holding a sign that said “International Friends,” and the terminal staff advised us to stay put. However, the driver was actually waiting in the parking lot by the bus, which caused a 30-minute delay for the group. A little clearer communication in advance would have helped avoid the confusion. Despite that, the tour was well organized overall, and we were very pleased to be dropped off right at our London hotel with our luggage in tow. This tour is a convenient and enjoyable option for anyone disembarking in Dover and looking to make the most of their travel day.
Great experience. Enjoyed the ease of getting off the ship and loading luggage on the bus. Canterbury Cathedral was amazing. Leeds Castle was also cool.
A glitch at the start about meeting places cost us almost an hour 🙁. After that, the rest of the day was good! We enjoyed Canterbury Cathedrsl and Leeds Castle on our way back to London. Kudos to our driver Tony, who did an awesome job in terrible London traffic. Got us safely to the hotel by 5:30.
Leeds Castle and Canterbury Cathedral wonderful! English was not our tour guides first language, and she was difficult to understand. Instead of dropping us off at Heathrow hotel, bus drove to London city center to drop off people. Then we had to switch to a van to go to Heathrow hotel. This took additional 2 hours. There was confusion at Dover port in the morning with guide so bus left an hour late so we were rushed all day.
Good Morning, thank you for your review. I have discussed your comments with staff involved and have also checked the vehicles Tacho Graph which is a legal requirement on coaches in the UK. This gives us full information on the vehicles movements and timings. I can see that the vehicle left Dover port at 08:45am which is just 15 minutes past the scheduled departure time, not 1 hour. We always factor in additional time into itineraries to allow for slight delays across the day. The route from Kent takes us into south london. The nature of booking a shared transfer does unfortunately mean there are other passengers to drop off in addition to yourself. We utilise smaller vehicles to help speed up this process, which is why you were transferred into a smaller vehicle to take you to Heathrow. We're sorry you were disappointed with your experience but thank you for taking the time to share your feedback
We got lucky and had a private tour by Maxine(Max). She was very knowledgeable and we had a fantastic tour. We all enjoyed the spacious vehicle and all the details provided. We took some very beautiful routes, stopping along the way for pictures. Max was great. The driver Paul was a good driver and he provided highlights along the route back.
