It was just wonderful, I highly recommend this daytrip especially with the lovely guide Lucy, who entertained us with many historical facts and anecdotes during the way, and guided us through the city of Canterbury for a while. The driver was nice as well, skilled and safe. The Dover Cliffs were breathtaking, I did the trail towards the Lighthouse and the view was amazing.

Really amazing experience! I was a solo traveller and enjoyed myself thoroughly in the company of a female driver and Lucy, our tour guide! She spoke so beautifully in her cute British accent with enough pause to process what she said (as someone not used to it) as well as to appreciate it. She also told nice trivia facts about places we were crossing. For people reading through reviews to get an idea about what to expect from the tour, remember you will be on your own for a long time, Lucy will share her part mostly during the bus ride, and during the Dover tour you will be largely on your own. Even during the Canterbury walking tour, it will only be about 20 mins or so. This is not to say I had any problems with it, but just to inform. I enjoyed having my own company during the rest of the time.
