Overview

The tour begins with a short stop in Greenwich, where travelers can see the Cutty Sark, the Royal Naval College, and the observatory that established Greenwich Mean Time. After this 20-minute break, the coach continues into the Kent countryside to Chilham Village. Visitors have about 30 minutes to walk around this traditional English village, with its village square, church, pub, and tearooms where refreshments are available. Next, the group travels to the White Cliffs of Dover. The tour descends to the shoreline to walk along the pebble beach with views of the chalk cliffs behind. Weather permitting, it is possible to see across the English Channel toward France during this 25-minute stop. Afterward, the tour proceeds to Dover Castle for about two hours. The castle has over 2000 years of history, including Roman remains like the lighthouse, medieval fortifications, and World War II tunnels. Visitors can explore the grounds and may purchase food at the castle cafes. Finally, the tour arrives in Canterbury for two and a half hours. Visitors can explore the city, shop, or eat at local pubs. There is also an optional visit to Canterbury Cathedral, a large 11th-century building. Later, the guide leads a walking tour covering Canterbury’s history, including stories about Geoffrey Chaucer and pilgrims to Thomas Becket’s shrine. The tour concludes with the return journey to London. Transport is by luxury air-conditioned mini coach, and bottled water is provided. The small group is limited to 16 people.
