Leeds Castle, Canterbury Cathedral, Dover & Greenwich River Boat Ride

Leeds Castle was fantastic and the best part of the trip. The cathedral and Cliffs of Dover were really good also. Overall a great day of sightseeing. Our guide, Dan was very knowledgeable with lots of commentary and driver Mario were terrific.

We loved everything about this day excursion! Not having to drive was wonderful. Chris drove professional and even took different routes because of traffic to save time. David shared informative info, answered questions and made it fun. Leeds castle was updated throughout the years so inside was okay but the gardens were exquisite! Definitely go inside Canterbury Cathedral, it is unbelievable. The Dover Cliffs stop was perfect for a pretty picture and to have seen them. The boat ride back was a blast! I highly recommend this tour.

The gardens at Leeds Castle were unexpected and amazing. Tish was a great guide and gave us the highlights while allowing us to explore on our own at both the castle and cathedral. Walking the streets of Canterbury was fun. We happened to be there on market Wednesdays when all the vendors were out. I wish we had a little more time to spend there, but we covered a lot of area in this one tour. It was an incredible day. We learned a great deal from Tish and enjoyed all of it!

The visit to Leeds and Canterbury were terrific! We were not anticipating that the Dover visit was so far from the cliffs, though. Also, we expected the river boat ride to be a private ride rather than a ride on a public Uber boat. If we had known more about the last two stops, we may have booked another trip without those aspects. But our tour guide, Morton (I think!) was terrific and so friendly and knowledgeable.

The trip to Dover was cancelled. Nothing else was offered as compensation (money or another place). We were briefly taken to a museum but that was already within London and a rushed visit for 30mins.

Well organised tour, the itinerary was JST right, the stops were well timed and best of all our tour guide Mark was great. Experienced and humorous

Overall, a convenient and good tour to join to see Leeds Castle and Canterbury Cathedral. While the guide provides info during the coach ride, you will explore the 2 sites on your own. The visit to Dover is nothing but a 10 min stop to take a photo from the side of the road. Boring. Should not be included. And Viator out to be factual about the water taxi ride. It is not a riverboat cruise. It’s like taking the tube, and they only announce the stops.

Our originally scheduled tour was canceled, so we opted to take the tour replacement offered for the previous day. The Leed's Castle portion of the tour was reduced due to guests staying onsite (we did not get to see the State rooms), and an event taking place. The castle guide seemed to rush us through what was already a vastly reduced tour. We then got caught in an EPIC traffic jam on our way to the Cliffs of Dover...something we believe the tour company should have been aware of since it was all over the news and had begun to be a problem in the Dover area the day before! Our tour guide did the best he could under the circumstances, but our tour of Dover was completely missed/canceled, since we had to keep to a schedule. The Canterbury Cathedral portion of the tour was very good, and we were glad to have time to explore on our own. We then were supposed to go to Greenwich for a boat ride, but we got caught in yet more traffic and, essentially, another traffic jam. The tour guide suggested we all get off the bus and walk to the boat. After some whiney woman on the bus complained about having to carry all her "fragile china" she'd bought in Canterbury, the tour guide offered to carry it for her, so we could all get off the bus and still get to the boat. My partner and I (along with another couple) opted to simply get off the bus and exit the tour, completely. While our guide did the best he could, given the circumstances, we found this to be a terrible tour, not worth the price we paid...and it was the VERY FIRST tour my partner and I have ever taken. Given all the problems, and the fact that the tour company should have known about the Dover fiasco, we have received ZERO contact from the tour company nor any sort of suggested discount/rebate from our original booking price. We would NOT recommend this tour company.

All aspects of the trip were enjoyed. The only issue is this trip advertised a box lunch, which did not happen. With the expectation on a box lunch, the day was long when no box lunch was provided and no stop around lunch time where food could be purchased happened.

The visit to Leeds Castle and Canterbury were great. The trip to Dover is worthless. You stop in the harbor and you see some white cliffs way off in the distance. We also did not get our lunch. Evidently, they weren't ready when the bus left, so we had to squeeze in some last minute scrambling for food in Canterbury and there was no compensation for the missed lunch.
