Highlights
-
Leeds Castle - 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.

New and improved Canterbury tale - Leeds, both the castle and the grounds, were gorgeous! Canterbury Cathedral was fascinating, especially as brought to life by our excellent guide Sheila. My one suggestion is to omit the short and unimpressive stop at Dover and add a little more time for lunch at Canterbury.

Great tour - This was a tour that some people in my party were unsure of going but everyone had a great time and are so happy they went on the tour. Our tour guide was amazing. She gave us the history of South London during our trip. We also saw parts of England we would not have seen as well as learning the history. It was relaxing, interesting and beautiful. It was not rushed or overly crowded. A must do.

Top notch tour! - Kevin was a wonderful guide. His explanations of the Kent region were boundless. Economics, religion, politics, art, and agriculture of any era. He made sure everyone was safe and had a great time. Highly recommend!

Leeds castle and... - Leeds castle and Canterbury were beautiful! The cliffs were nice as well, but too short and too far away to really enjoy. Our guide and driver were fantastic!

One decent stop out of three. - Firstly, the guide Paul and driver Ash were awesome. The directions for check in at the coach station were not reflective of reality and it was very confusing. The attractions within this tour were disappointing. Leeds castle is so commercialized and leaned too heavily on the 1920s versus a deeper historical story. Lovely stewards tho. The cliffs of Dover are overgrown in the city of Dover and, being a port town, it offered very little opportunity to take a good photo without some kind of mechanical obstruction that I didn’t even get off the bus. Canterbury and the cathedral were the tour’s saving grace.

Sucked except the exceptional driver Billie!!!!!!!!! - Billie was fantastic. Your sardine can bus sucked. Never again. You are trying to make money stuffing people into small seats. I will tell everyone not to use you. Change or lose.
