Great tour and knowledgeable guide - A very knowledgeable tour guide, who gave us all sorts of facts all along our drive down to Dover.
Very helpful getting us all set for our time in Dover Castle.
Ready and waiting when we gathered up to depart.
Shared even more great facts en route to Canterbury and made sure we made our way through the city to the cathedral before letting us explorefor a few hours.
Also waited patiently when I was a few minutes late back to the bus having gotten rather lost.
I would recommend this tour to anyone. It was worth every cent.

Definitely recommend! - Worth the trip! Calem (guide/entertainer) and Mario (driver) were fantastic! Smooth ride, very attentive, polite and fun. We had great weather and beautiful views and had enough time at each stop for what we wanted to do. Our fav was the Dover Castle. If you go, definitely do the wartime tunnels. Calem recommended it and it was well worth it. It’s part of the admission (which is included in the package price) but takes about an hour, leaving less time to visit the rest of the castle. White Cliffs were breathtaking. There wasn’t a whole lot of time here to explore too far, but it was fine. Canterbury Cathedral was beautiful inside but the shopping center around it was a little off-putting. Lower your expectations before you get inside and you’ll be fine.

A great day in England! - Was a great tour and would do it again. Loved Dover and Canterbury. It was the perfect amount of time at each place.
We had lunch in Canterbury across from the cathedral entrance and it was also wonderful.
Our guide was super helpful and informative.

Dynamo Tunnels and Classic Cathedral - Great guide and fun experience! The WW2 tunnels in the castle were very interesting and the cathedral was beautiful. The cliffs were very foggy but that’s how it goes sometimes. I wish we had more time at Dover Castle.

Great day escape from London to Dover and Canterbury - Great day tour from London! There is not a ton of time in each stop, but you definitely can see all the highlights, take lots of pictures, shop for souvenirs, and experience what Dover and Canterbury have to offer. Our guide Kat was wonderful. She offered an optional walking tour of Canterbury at the end of the day, which I highly recommend. Our driver Antonio kept us on time and safe along the way. A great day!

It was basically just... - It was basically just transportation to the three stops. The location for pick up/drop off near the Tower Bridge was inconvenient and an expensive taxi each way. I thought when a small bus showed up it would give us better access to stops. We still had to walk to get to sites. The bus easily could have dropped us closer. So, no advantage to the smaller bus.
The tour guide didn't really do a lot of talking on the bus or any real guiding. He was not your typical bubbly guide and excited to be there. The driver and tour guide didn't even know each other, so not a lot of interaction between the two. He showed up and left via underground. He said tips were shared but stuck in his pocket and walked away to the tube.
We also had fog roll in at the white cliffs. Not the fault of the tour but, hiking up the hill to see nothing was very disappointing. Maybe if we did Canterbury first, we might have had better luck seeing the white cliffs later. Order of the tour was at the discretion of the guide, I guess. The bus driver asked, where to first and Dover Castle, the cliffs, Canterbury was the order. Can remember the guides name but, tour was on Saturday January 18th.
