The meeting location was a bit questionable. It was dark, in front of a shut down pub. Perhaps the van could arrive 30-45 min early for assurance. Otherwise— perfect day! Tour guide 110% Driver Paul, friendly, kind and skilled driver.

Full description

Depart London on a full-day tour to explore the southern county of Kent, known as the garden of England.  Travel aboard a comfortable coach to admire the White Cliffs of Dover. Join your guide on a walking tour of Canterbury to uncover the city's fascinating history. After a morning coffee stop we arrive at the White Cliffs of Dover, with time to enjoy a coastal walk or simply take in the famous views. On a clear day, see magnificent views of the English Channel and even France. Enjoy free-time to marvel at the beauty of the White Cliffs. The visitor center offers an opportunity to get refreshments and souvenirs. When Dover Castle is open, we allow time for an optional visit, or alternatively spend longer on the coastal walk at the cliffs.

Continue to the historic city of Canterbury, where your guide will introduce you to the city with an informative walking tour.
