Itinerary
Having travelled out of London and through countryside of Kent, the first stop will be the historic city of Canterbury, known especially for its Cathedral, which is the most senior church of England and dates back to the year 597ad. Take time to visit the Cathedral and explore the city centre.
Next we'll visit the pretty seaside town of Deal. It was here that the first Roman invasion landed in Britain in 55bc. A previously prosperous port, today Deal is regarded as a 'mini-Brighton', known for its charming high street, sea-front and pier. Take time to explore and have lunch.
The next stop is at the world-famous White Cliffs of Dover, one of the most iconic coastal location in Britain. This is England's closest point to mainland Europe, on a clear day you can see France! Here we have time to take a long walk along the coast path and absorb spectacular views.

Perfect blend of culture and nature. Terrific guide, Christian.
Hi Carla, thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed the tour. Best Maya
I had an absolutely fantastic day on this tour with Tony as our guide. A great day if you enjoy more solo/independent exploration with commentary on the side. A good way to see a few regions as a taster if you are short on time. It didnt feel rushed but there is so much to see! Tony provided great commentary and stories along the way (as well as a fab play list). Im glad I went, and it was nice to escape the London heat! Would highly recommend.
I am glad you had a great day out. Tony's stories and playlist really make the day while you head to all the locations. Hope to see you again on another tour. Best, Maya
We had a great time on the day tour. Out driver Liam was great, gave us lots of info and pointed out the sights on the way.
Hi Cathy, glad Liam kept you well informed along the way and you had a great day out. Best, Maya
Great experience, did not feel rushed. Had time to explore at each stop, the fish n chips place was delicious. Our tour guide Kevin was very informative and helpful.
Canterbury Cathedral, Dover Castle and White Cliffs are hidden gems. Pictures will not do it justice. You have to go there and experience the breath taking views. Our tour guide, Kevin was amazing!! Loved his energy and sense of humor which made the tour in more worthwhile. Highly recommend to add this to your list of things to see.
This was my second tour with Go Tours UK, and it’s worth the small groups instead of the large coach buses. We were able to see and drive through small villages and our driver, Len, was incredibly fun, knowledgeable and for a solo traveler, served as photographer. Amazing overall experience.
Christian is super funny and kind, he told a lot of interesting things about UK’s history. I suggest to reduce the time for visiting Canterbury and extend the time at White Cliffs, so people can enjoy more the walk and the view.
We’ve spent a marvellous day on the 14th of February doing this tour. Christian was fun, it combined interesting historic notions with his hilarious humor. Me and my friend felt very welcomed. A suggestion: I would reduce the time in Canterbury and extend the time to spend at the wonderful White Cliffs. We’ve also been the luckiest to get a day of Sun. Thanks again!
It was a wonderful tour made more interesting and fun with our tour guide, Christian. He was so knowledgable about England’s history which became lively because he injected wit and humor at every turn. We learned a lot while admiring the church and the majestic Dover cliffs. Highly recommended!!!
This tour was great! I went on the tour with my mom and my boyfriend and we all loved it. I was worried that the walk up to the cliffs might be difficult for my mom but from where we got dropped off, it was an easy and short 10-15 mins walk. Christian was a really great guide, giving us facts throughout the coach ride whilst keeping it light and fun. We had our own personal time to explore in Canterbury and Dover when we got dropped off, which I enjoyed as well as we could do whatever we fancied in that area. It was really good value for money considering how far we had travelled and the length of time was perfect as well as we had returned to our starting point before 6PM - so we had covered a lot in a day!
