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, its 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.
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.

    It was a very good experience. Could have much better if we got more time in Dover and Canterbury as both the places are really beautiful

    There are lots of tours offered to these three sites; this is the best one. Canterbury Cathedral is massive, without a guided tour you will miss too much. Our guide, Ursula, was exceptional. It was a long day and the bus was a bit cramped, but Ursula made the experience enlightening and enjoyable. I highly recommend this particular tour. Even Evens tours get you close to the sites you are visiting, that is another very big plus.

    Kevin is a very funny and great tour guide. We enjoyed the tour with him. Wish would have more time in Canterbury but definitely a great tour to recommend.

    We booked this one day trip via Viator. Kevin and Kemi were our host for the trip. Kevin is a wonderful guide, very cheerful and knowledgeable.

    Leeds Castle was great! Very picturesque and interesting. Cliffs of Dover wasn’t what I was expecting. But the Castle at Canterbury was amazing. Really enjoyed that. Our guide, Manon, was really good and knowledgeable. She gave us lots of information. 5 stars to her and the bus driver Dave. They were great! Thanks for a great day!!

    Tour guide Manon did a wonderful job keeping us informed in a steady, calm manner. High marks for Manon. Would do this tour again!

    Our tour guide was ok. She got us to our spots. Leeds castle was good. The Canterbury castle was amazing and pictures will not do it justice. The reason I did not rate this a 5 was when I booked this tour I believed we were going to walk the cliffs and war tunnels. That did not happen. We did see the cliffs from the town. But I was disappointed. It needs to be explained better.
