Travel from London to Canterbury, Dover Castle, and the White Cliffs on a full-day coach tour. Guides such as Nick, Andy, Eva, and Sam add history and humor on the road, while you explore independently. Castle entry is included, Canterbury Cathedral is optional, and cliff walks depend on weather.

“The day was amazing!!!! We had such a great time. We just wish we had more time in each place. Two hours there, two hours back, and we only had two hours in both Canterbury and Dover with maybe an hour or so at the cliffs. Not anyone’s fault as it is a drive that takes up your day, but for what we were able to do we got a nice sample.”
