Full description
After meeting your friendly guide at Dover Cruise Terminal, board a luxury coach and combine your transfer to London with a wonderful tour of the Garden of England, with visits to historic Canterbury and Leeds Castle. Firstly, come face-to-face with the White Cliffs of Dover, and the magnificent Dover Castle. The fortress dates back to Roman times, and is one of the largest and most impressive castle keeps in Britain. Continuing through this chalk landscape, discover the history of the country, from Celtic Settlers and Roman invaders to the Saxon migration and the Norman conquest. Stop at the city of Canterbury and glimpse into its world famous cathedral on a guided walking tour. Formerly the Roman town of Durovernum Canticorum, the city boasts a wealth of history. After the walking tour, have some free time to walk the narrow streets and admire the historic buildings. In the cathedral, you can see the tomb of King Henry IV, the resting place of The Black Prince and learn of the death in 1170 of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury. It is then on past the Oast Houses, hop fields, orchards and vineyards to Leeds Castle, described by Lord Conway as the loveliest castle in the world. Dating back to 880AD, Leeds Castle has been home to many English Queens, from the end of the 12th century to the Tudor reign. Beautiful landscaped gardens are a main feature of the grounds, as is the stunning lake. Explore the castle's historic interior, admire the delightful rooms and get lost in the famous maze. After some free time, the tour departs for central London to begin drop offs, followed by Heathrow drop offs. The drive from Leeds Castle to London takes you through Royal Greenwich, and past Tower Bridge, with a view of the Tower of London.

It was easy to find the coach as we disembarked the cruise. The dock worker knew exactly which coach spot to direct us to. Andrew, our guide, was full of interesting information as we drove to Canterbury and Leeds. Canterbury and its fortress walls is an interesting walk around. I really enjoyed Leeds with its beautiful gardens and grounds. If I were to change anything about the tour, I would cut out 30 minutes of Canterbury and add those to to Leeds. We and another party transferred to a small van at the conclusion of Leeds to travel to our airport hotel. This was much appreciated as it was more direct.

We could not have been more pleased that we took this tour! Our guide, Oz, was wonderful! He met us at the ship dock exit and he told us interesting stories and info all along our tour. We went to the gorgeous town of Canterbury and he led us on a walking tour and then we had free time. I would recommend paying to go inside Canterbury Cathedral because it was amazing! Then on to Leed's Castle which lives up to it's reputation of being the country's most beautiful castle. We were dropped off at our hotel doorstep which made us feel relieved we didn't have to figure out other transportation. If you have time, be sure to do this tour! Thank you, Oz!
