This day trip was wonderful! I chose to not go to Dover Castle and took all of the time at the White Cliffs of Dover to walk to the lighthouse and back. It was stunning and so peaceful. Canterbury was (Read More) a beautiful town full of history. Our guide showed us a couple places and then gave us time to explore on our own. She gave me great recommendations for lunch.

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, (Read More)friendly, kind and skilled driver.

The guide was friendly, but we would have appreciated more historical information during the tour. Her focus seemed to lean more toward providing instructions rather than delving into the history of t (Read More)he sites we visited. Additionally, more transparent communication regarding the seasonal closure of Dover Castle during winter would have been helpful.

price in line with other similar excursions from London, but since it is only two stops it is actually very expensive. they could have included at least the ticket to Canterbury Cathedral or something (Read More) else. Driver Gabriel is nice and very easy-going. Nice tour even if both stops (devon and Canterbury) can be reached with the flixbus for a few cents. on the way there, stop at a service station, then devon cliffs from above and below. then Canterbury small walking tour and free time. Overall great experience but in hindsight too expensive. For the same price in 2021 I did windsor, stonehenge and bath.

Perhaps it is too short with so much distance for so much cost.
