Liten grupp Canterbury, Dover Castle, Cliffs & Villages Day Tour
Beskrivning
Följ med oss på en 11 timmars liten grupp, max 16 personer, dagstur från London, till Canterbury, Dover och Kent Villages. Denna turné tar oss genom länet som kallas "Garden of England". Vi kommer att resa genom tiden - bokstavligen, med ett besök i Greenwich där GMT började. Sedan ut djupt in i Kents vackra landsbygd och ett stopp i den härliga traditionella kentska byn Chilham. Efter Chilham tar vi den natursköna vägen till de berömda White Cliffs of Dover där vi går ner till stranden för spektakulära vyer längs kusten och upp vid de glittrande vita klipporna omedelbart bakom oss. Vidare från klipporna beger vi oss till Dover Castle, där du kan utforska och se över 2000 år av historia, från romartidens kyrka, till de medeltida förläggningarna och tunnlarna som grävdes under andra världskriget. Sedan vidare till staden Canterbury, med sin världsberömda 900 år gamla katedral. Besök katedralen och följ med oss på en guidad vandring i Canterbury innan vi återvänder till London efter en hel dags sightseeing.

Resplan
Vi tar ett kort stopp i Greenwich på väg ut från London. Greenwich utgör en del av vår naturliga väg ut ur staden och är en utmärkt plats för oss att stanna och ta ett kaffe och använda badrummet innan vi tar oss ut på landsbygden. Beundra Cutty Sark - ett berömt restaurerat segelfartyg från 1800-talet. Hör berättelser om Kings and Queens på besök och lära dig om observatoriet som föder Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) och se den berömda Royal Naval College.
Vandra runt i detta vackra exempel på en traditionell Engelska by. Full av charm och centrerad runt ett bytorg, med en kyrka, pub och tesalonger. Chilham är kanske Kents vackraste by av alla. Njut av en kopp te och en scone från tesalongerna, eller kanske en lokal pint öl från den historiska bypuben.
Vi tar dig ner till strandlinjen under den världsberömda White Cliffs of Dover. En av Englands mest ikoniska naturliga platser och en välkommen syn för soldater och piloter som återvänder hem från krigföring i historien. Promenera längs kiselstranden med klipporna bakom dig och vädret tillåter en utsikt över 20 mil över Engelska kanalen till Frankrike.
Utforska detta härliga medeltida slott - beskrivs som "nyckeln till England". En stor defensiv betydelse genom hela den engelska historien, och som används som en defensiv position sedan järnåldern för 3000 år sedan, också används av romarna - bevisat av en romersk fyr på platsen - den mest fullständiga stående romerska strukturen i England. Du kommer att få ett par timmar att besöka detta otroliga slott - kanske har du något att äta på ett av deras kaféer.
Vi tillbringar 2,5 timmar i Canterbury. Dags att utforska denna berömda Engelska stad, kanske göra lite shopping, ta en bit mat eller en drink i en av dess många karismatiska pubar. Kanske ta dig tid att besöka den spektakulära UNESCO världsarv katedralen - den enorma 1000-talet Canterbury Cathedral. Följ med din Guide på en rundvandring i Canterburys historia och höjdpunkter, hör berättelser om Chaucer och grundarna, följ i pilgrimernas fotspår och besök Thomas Beckets helgedom innan vi beger oss tillbaka till London.

Worth the time! Beautiful coastline and spectacular cathedral and castles. Louis was fantastic!! Beautiful villages!
Hello, thank you so much for your review - delighted to hear you enjoyed our small group tour so much! All the best, Chris The English Bus
We had a fantastic experience on our trip to Canterbury and the Cliffs. The bus was very clean and comfortable. We had plenty of time at each stop to sample the local food and explore. Can't say enough good things about our guide Jon. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour!
Hello, Thank you so much for joining us on this small group tour. Wonderful to hear that you enjoyed it so much. Jon will also love reading this so I will make sure to pass it on, he puts so much into giving each and every one of his guests the best experience. All the best, Jen The English Bus
This was a fabulous tour! Providing comfortable travel with a skilled driver who was also an exceptional guide. Lucy was knowledgeable and passionate about the history she imparted, making it entertaining and relevant to us today. Absolutely recommend!
Our group of 6 (2 grandparents, 2 adults, 1 seven year old, and 1 adult with Down syndrome/limited mobility) greatly enjoyed our tour of Greenwich, Chillam, the White Cliffs, Dover Castle, and Canterbury. The bus was comfortable, our guide (Alex) was kind and knowledgeable, and the day well-planned. It made for a long day (about 12 hours total out and back from London on the journey), but more than worth it for the sights and views. If you want a lot of time (more than 2 hours) at Dover Castle, just know you may want to do that outside of this tour. Every other stop offered more bean enough time to explore on our own/walk with our guide to enjoy all the sights on offer. Another highlight of this particular company is the small group size and ability to stop off/take roads that the big tour buses can’t navigate. Overall, highly, highly recommend!
Hello Hanna, Thank you so much for your kind words. What more can we add. We really appreciate your detailed review and feedback, it is so good to hear that you had such a good time with Alex on tour. He is a real asset to us and will be so pleased to read your review. Thank you for choosing to travel with us, we hope to welcome you back one day on one of our other small group tour routes! All the best, Chris The English Bus
We did the White Cliffs of Dover, Dover Castle and Canterbury. Great choice! Our guide, Alex, was very knowledgeable and had a good sense of humor which made the day even more enjoyable. Good communication. He contacted us the evening before to prepare us for the next day and kept in touch during our free time on the tour. The tour is well worth the money and we could relax while he navigated the route with ease. Thank you Alex and English Bus!
Interesting places is why we book, but having a great guide makes it a great experience. Or guide Lucy was very knowledgeable, a great communicator, and very accommodating.
We’re just now heading back to London from this amazing tour!! SO glad we did this! Everything was beautiful and our tour guide Lucy was so friendly and funny! Such a relaxing time away from the city. We didn’t want to leave.
This day trip was fantastic! Our guide Val, was absolutely phenomenal! Started out stopping in Greenwich and got to see the Cutty Sark. Then we moved onto Chilham. Small quaint, little village, and got to meet Barry and try some of his cake. And then we were off to check out the White Cliffs in Dover. Absolutely beautiful. And then we were off to Canterbury. Unbelievably awesome old small English town. Had a great meal at the parrot while we were there. All along the way, Val was full of information. And it was good to hear some personal stories of hers that made the trip more enjoyable. Highly recommend it. Well worth the money for a 11.5 hour tour.
This is my second time touring with The English Bus. Last year I did the Stonehenge, Bath, and Secret Place tour and loved it so much that I knew when I was planning my trip back to London this year, I would be going with The English Bus again. This year, I did the Canterbury and Dover tour and it was just as amazing as last year. Even with the rain and windy that hit the tour in the beginning, it was amazing. Standing in an ancient castle and going around Canterbury, I had to sit in amazement that I was experiencing this and with The English Bus tour, it never felt rushed or it was corraling people. We had time to enjoy it. And Alex our tour guide was amazing. Very informative and always willing to answer a question if you had one. I loved his walking tour while in Canterbury. I will be going with The English Bus again in the future. If you want a small and engaging tour, go with them!
A return visitor — this absolutely makes our day! Thank you so much for coming back to us and for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. It's brilliant to hear that Canterbury and Dover won you over just as much as Stonehenge, Bath and the Secret Place did last year — even with the rain and wind doing their best to gatecrash the party! There's something rather special about standing in an ancient castle in a proper British squall, we think. We're so glad it never felt rushed — having the space to actually take it all in is exactly what small group touring is all about. Alex will be delighted to read your kind words too. His Canterbury walking tour is something rather special and it's lovely to hear it landed so well. We can't wait to welcome you back for round three! Don't forget to check our website for live availability, and you'll find the best prices there too. Thanks again for choosing to travel with The English Bus! Jen
This was a fantastic tour. Our guide, Tony, was very knowledgeable friendly and very helpful with the tour and with general information about London. Small group and not rushed. We would definitely do another tour, oh we did! Highly recommended.
Hi there, Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We are absolutely thrilled that you loved the small-group pace and never felt rushed—that is exactly how we like to do things. Tony is a wealth of knowledge, and I will definitely pass your lovely feedback along to him. He will be so happy to hear that his tips and insights made such a great impression, both on the tour and for your time in London. And wow—thank you so much for booking a second tour with us! Knowing that you came back for more is the biggest compliment we could ask for. Thanks again for highly recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future! All the best, Lilly @ The English Bus
