Canterbury Private 2 Hour Walking Tour with Green Badge Guide
Description
Canterbury is steeped in history. The city can trace its roots back to the Celtic Tribe, the Cantiaci, who were here before the Romans. From the start of the Roman occupation in the 1st Century, to the arrival of the Papal emissary Augustine in 597AD, to the murder of Thomas Becket in 1170, to the dissolution of the monasteries by King Henry VIII, to the bombings of World War 2 - we will show you the many facets of this ancient, beautiful & intriguing city! This is a private walking tour that will show you the most important & interesting parts of the city of Canterbury. We can begin & end our tour at a location of your choosing (the Old Buttermarket is usually the most convenient) & we can build the tour around your interests. Alternatively, we can suggest a tour that covers the most interesting & historical parts of the city.

We had a wonderful time visiting Canterbury and Rye with Paul Hering as our guide. His perfect French, deep knowledge, and lively anecdotes made the visits both fascinating and enjoyable. Friendly, attentive, and passionate, Paul truly made our trip unforgettable. Highly recommended
Our guide was exceptional. He really knows the city & its history and is very skilled at delivering the material. He handled questions very well. One of the best guides we have ever had.
