Fabulous small group tour company - This was our second tour with the English Bus. Tony has been our guide on both and was excellent. The bus is very comfortable, the itinerary a great mix of activities with guided information and free time, and this was a very fun day. There is no designated "everyone will eat now in this one place together" stop, which we appreciated - plenty of opportunity and time to eat, but to eat what and when suited you. Highly recommended for a small group tour.

Outstanding tour of White Cliffs of Dover, Dover Castle, Canterbury, as well as other villages. - This is a fantastic tour company. Tony was our guide/driver and he had a great rapport with all the passengers. He was knowledgeable and interesting and took personal interest in everyone. I’ve taken numerous tours in the past few years with larger companies and this tour was by far the absolute best. I plan to use them again next time I am in England.

Wonderful experience in the English Countryside - Very organized and well run tour to some spectacular and charming places in the countryside. Both Lucy and Nowl were full of fun facts about the area and the history surrounding what you see. The group was smaller so it was a little easier to navigate. Highly recommend this company for future tours!!

How many transcendant experiences can you fit in a day? Take this tour and find out! - This was a wonderful tour, and the smaller bus helped us get to the less well traveled portions of the Dover cliffs, not to mention through the holloways (holloway. What a great word!) and narrow roads of the Kent county countryside. Tony was a highly knowledgeable and charming guide, whether he was enlightening us on the fascinating history of Kent county, or arranging for us to get some delicious tea and scones in tiny villages with rich histories, from the Celtic period to World War II and the evacuation of Dunkirk. Be prepared to walk through a lot of tunnels! Finally, he treated us to a fantastic guided tour of Canterbury and its many famous figures, from Saint Augustine to Christopher Marlowe to Orlando Bloom!
