Sam was a wonderful tour guide for us today. He was very laid back and made sure everyone was able to make it on the trip. The castle is absolutely gorgeous. We did the WW2 tunnels located in Dover and it was such a surreal experience. The cliffs were amazing. Overall great experience!

Full description

Explore the beautiful cathedral city of Canterbury, the White Cliffs of Dover, and Dover Castle on a day tour from London. Soak in the views of the countryside of Britain while learning about the history from your guide.

Learn about the pilgrims who have made their way to Canterbury Cathedral since the Middle Ages, and it remains popular today with visitors from around the world.

Take a walk along the clifftops and look out over the busy English Channel. On a clear day, you will be able to see across France.

Alexa – CanadaJune 4, 2025 – Verified booking
The day trip to Dover and Canterbury was awesome! The guide and driver were good. We had about 3 hrs at Dover castle, which gave us time to explore a good bit of it (though definitely not everything - you could spend a whole day there alone). We had only about an hour at the White Cliffs; I wish we had longer but I can understand why they limited the time there a bit more. Absolutely stunning - the views alone made the whole trip worth it. We had just over 2 hrs for the Canterbury Cathedral and the town of Canterbury. The catherdral was awe-inspiring (even as a non-religious person). The architecture and artistry present were phenomenal, and the grounds were well-kept and serene. Honestly, you could spend day(s) at each attraction this tour visits, but overall they gave a generous amount of time, especially for a bus tour. It was well-organized and one of the best days of our trip to London.
