Take a private guided tour of Leeds Castle

Enjoy lunch while overlooking the White Cliffs of Dover

Visit Canterbury and explore its famous Cathedral

Enjoy a walking tour of Greenwich

See the sights of London on a Thames River cruise

Get picked up from your London hotel and then head off to Leeds Castle. The former Royal residence for 6 of England's medieval queens, Leeds Castle is a palace which was transformed by Henry VIII, and a retreat for the rich and powerful.

Explore the chapel, galleries, courtyards, and the banqueting hall. Afterwards, see the surroundings filled with wildlife including wildfowl, black swans, and the birds of the aviary.

Next, visit the famous White Cliffs of Dover as you take a scenic drive along the old coastal road. Admire this historic port and its magnificent 12th-century castle. On a clear day you can even see France across the English Channel.

After Dover, experience the ancient city of Canterbury, the center of Christian worship for almost 1,700 years. Tour its greatest treasure, Canterbury Cathedral, infamous as the setting for the brutal murder of Thomas Beckett in 1170.

After visiting the Cathedral enjoy your free time to explore Canterbury.

Finally, walk through Greenwich which boasts exquisite parks, gardens, and beautiful architecture. View the famous Cutty Sark, the fastest sailing ship of its time.

Then, as evening approaches, enjoy an exclusive Thames River Cruise.

As you gently cruise back to the center of London, sail past historic sights, including the Tower of London, Big Ben, and the Houses of Parliament, before arriving at Westminster pier where your tour ends.

• Rating: 5 “Interesting tour with a very good guide and suitable time management”

  Reviewed by Roland from Wien, Austria on July 1st, 2012 I thought the tour was really interesting. Not least because our guide had lots of informative, funny and dramatic stories up his sleeve about all of the sights we saw, and told these to us as we drove between the stops. His stories were very funny and fascinating, and they made the time between stations (and there was a lot of it) go by quickly. I'd definitely take more tours with this guide right away.
