Beläget i Kent, "The Garden of England", ligger Leeds Castle, ett vackert medeltida slott som ofta kallas "det vackraste slottet i världen". Med 500 hektar anlagd parkland för att utforska och oklanderligt underhållna trädgårdar att njuta av, är det lätt att se varför detta vackra slott var ett favoriterat slott av kung Henry VIII, som begav det till sin första fru, Katarina av Aragon. I sin 900-åriga historia har slottet varit hemma för inte mindre än sex drottningar och tjänstgjorde många funktioner, bland annat som garnison, fängelse och det statliga privata hemmet för sina senaste ägare. Lär dig allt om detta och mer, eftersom vår expertguide leder till sin fascinerande historia.
En utsedd UNESCO världsarvslista, Canterbury Cathedral är både en lugn plats för helighet och vackert turistmål. Som ärkebiskopens katedral, den andliga ledaren för kyrkan i England, har Canterbury en särskild plats i brittisk historia. Ingen vanlig katedral, Canterbury har en lång historia som ofta beskrivs som "England in Stone"; från rollen som sina ärkebiskopar i Magna Carta till mordet på Thomas Becket efter en maktkamp med kungen i England, är Canterburys historia sammanflätade med Englands. Katedralen idag grundades av St Augustine i 600 e.Kr., är ett av de finaste exemplen på gotisk arkitektur i England och den första byggnaden i landet som ska omdesignas i denna populära stil 1774.
Dover Castle är ett medeltida slott i Dover, Kent, England. Det grundades på 1100-talet och har beskrivits som "Key to England" på grund av dess defensiva betydelse genom historien. Det är det största slottet i England.
Soaring 350ft över den engelska kanalens kraschar vågor, är The White Cliffs of Dover ett omedelbart igenkänt landmärke i Storbritannien. Från Caesar till Shakespeare erkände några av historiens viktigaste figurer klippans höga symbolik. Traditionellt den plats där brittiska kungligheter skulle välkomna utländska besökare, tjänade klipporna som en skrämmande påminnelse om Storbritanniens obefläckade beslutsamhet för självständighet.

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.
