Adrian’s story-telling is engaging.

Adrian’s story-telling of Canterbury makes this experience worthwhile. He clearly has a wealth of knowledge (answering some group member’s questions with precision), but he weaves a 2,000 yr old story to explain the key items, with some funny stories along the way.

A nice approach to the city

A very interesting visit. We would have liked a little more historical depth, but perhaps that is because we know less about the history of England. Our guide was interesting and had a sense of humor, but was sometimes a bit disorganized. In any case, a good experience to get to know the city.

Operator response

Thank you for telling us about your experience. I am glad that it helped with getting to know the city.

Interesting

Guided tour that talks about the history of the city. Exciting! Only regret is that the tour of the interior of the cathedral is not included.

Operator response

I am glad that you found the tour fascinating. Our tour does not go inside the Cathedral, but visits the grounds for which we have special permission to share with you. Thank you for taking the time to review.

Good history lesson

It is very informative, and you do not walk far., just round the block. Do not go on the walls or much further than in front of Cathedral.

Operator response

Thank you for your review. We are pleased to hear that you found the tour informative. It is indeed a short tour in terms of distance (around 1 mile) focused on the central city lanes and Cathedral grounds - there is a lot of history compacted into a very small space!
