Stop At: Leeds Castle, Broomfield Road, Maidstone ME17 1PL England
Located in Kent, ‘The Garden of England’, lies Leeds Castle, a beautiful medieval castle frequently referred to as ‘the loveliest castle in the world’. With 500 acres of landscaped parkland to explore and impeccably maintained gardens to enjoy, it’s easy to see why this beautiful castle was a favoured castle of King Henry VIII, who gifted it to his first wife, Catherine of Aragon.
In its 900-year history, the castle has been home to no fewer than six queens and served many functions, including acting as a garrison, prison and the stately private home of its most recent owners. Learn all about this and more as our expert tour guide brings its fascinating story to life.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: Canterbury Cathedral, 11 The Precincts, Canterbury CT1 2EH England
A designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, Canterbury Cathedral is both a serene place of holiness and beautiful tourist destination. As the Cathedral of the Archbishop, the spiritual leader of the Church of England, Canterbury holds a special place in British history. No ordinary Cathedral, Canterbury has a long history that is often described as ‘England in Stone’; from the role of its Archbishops in the Magna Carta to the murder of Thomas Becket after a power struggle with the King of England, Canterbury’s history is intertwined with that of England. Founded by St Augustine in 600 AD, the Cathedral today is one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in England, and the first building in the country to be redesigned in this popular style in 1774.
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: The White Cliffs of Dover, Upper Road Langdon Cliffs, Dover CT16 1HJ England

Traditionally the site where British royalty would welcome overseas visitors, the cliffs served as an intimidating reminder of Britain's immovable resoluteness sense of independence.

Overall, it was a good tour. Time duration was a bit constrained. Special Thanks to Kevin, the tour guide, who gave an interesting account of history of England and made the tour way more meaningful.

Kevin was fun and casual. If I had known I had to write 100 characters I would not have done a review. I just like to put stars.
The day trip was great

The tour guide, Andrew, was exceptional. He shared real history and lots of little known facts that made the trip even more enjoyable. Unlike the continuous all facts drone rehearsed by most tour guides, Andrew made the tour come alive. He made sure we saw things often overlooked by tourists, which added to the adventure. Leeds Castle and Canterbury Cathedral are beautiful and well worth seeing. the White Cliffs of Dover, although a stands out feature in many movies, weren't half as interesting (to me) as Dover Castle -which is enormous. This tour was worth every penny and the time spent. When I return to England next year, I'll stay longer and take this tour again.
