The Battle of Britain Memorial is a monument to aircrew who flew in the Battle of Britain. It is sited on the White Cliffs at Capel-le-Ferne, near Folkestone, on the coast of Kent. Walk towards the viewpoint for stunning sights of the White Cliffs of Dover.
Centre of English Christianity and home to a succession of 104 Archbishops since Augustine, Canterbury is a magnificent medieval city that’s a must for any history buff. Discover the scene of Archbishop Thomas Becket’s gruesome murder at Canterbury Cathedral in 1170. Learn the intriguing history behind this captivating masterpiece of medieval architecture. Marvel at the cathedral’s spectacular stained glass windows, many of which have survived from the late 12th and early 13th centuries.
Overlooking the River Thames, Greenwich is a stunning World Heritage site bustling with fine maritime landmarks. See the Old Royal Naval College designed by Sir Christopher Wren, and the world–famous Cutty Sark, a fascinating 19th–century clipper ship.
The Cutty Sark is a clipper ship built in the United Kingdom in the 18th century.A tea clipper, the Cutty Sark was built on the River Leven near Dumbarton in Scotland in 1869 for the Jock Willis Shipping Line. It was one of the last and fastest tea clippers ever built, having been built at the end of a long period of design development that had been halted when sailing ships were replaced by steam propulsion.
Founded in 1873, The Old Royal Naval College serves as the magnificent centrepiece of Maritime Greenwich, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Greenwich, London, described as having "outstanding universal value" and being the "finest and most dramatically sited architectural and landscape ensemble in the British Isles" by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

    We started on time, Grace is a good tour guide and Kollie is an excellent driver. We saw all the beautiful places but were constantly in a hurry. Grace informed us during the ride, about the duration of the stay and the desired onward journey, which lasted from 20 to 35 minutes, the lunch stop with time to visit the cathedral and lunch just 1 hour and 50 minutendauerte. We were back for it an hour earlier than planned. Too bad about the money. The information about the sights we would have also found on the Internet. We were there and somehow not.

    We had this day-trip few days ago. We have been lucky since it was an hot and sunny day. Our guide Danxia and our driver Marius have been very kind and accurate. Danxia was very well prepared about the history, culture and fun facts about the topics of the tour and Britain in general. We really appreciate. We recommend Golden Tour and their staff 😊

    Fantastic trip, stops at Leeds Castle, Baattle of Britain Memorial Dover and Canterbury Cathedral were all great and not rushed. Ferry trip from Greenwich on the Uber Boat was a bit slow. Our tour guide Danxia was really well organised and looked after everybody all day. Driver Marius drove us around safely all day. Highly recommended trip.

    The tour was canceled and we were not notified until we got to the Coach station. We were then pressured to chose an "alternate tour" none of which were similar.

    We went on a very rainy day. Everything was still great, except the view of the cliffs was somewhat hazy. Great guide!

  • 04-Aug-2023

    A really memorable day. I can't praise Grace and the driver enough for their friendly, professional and knowledgeable tour. Grace's presentation style was engaging, informative and she was approachable and helpful. The coach was spacious and comfortable. Loved the whole day!

    Great day out, plenty to see. Gardens of Leeds Castle are beautiful. The Cathedral is amazing. Stephan (guide) and Edward (driver) were very helpful

    The perfect day tour from London. Loved all the venues: we saw a lot. Found family names on the Battle of Britain memorial in Dover, loved Leeds castle, views of white cliffs of Dover, lunch on my own in quaint Canterbury. Boat ride from Greenwich in late afternoon was perfect ending. AND, the tour was guided by the most knowledgeable and pleasant, smart and informative guide, Danxia, whom I've ever had. She and driver Koli did a perfect job. I'd take that tour again! Even narrated the drive out of London so well! Amazing day.
