Wonderful Journey to Key Spots in Kent - A really enjoyable tour with our bilingual (English/Spanish), knowledgeable, and friendly guide, Apple. We really appreciated the comfortable bus, small tour group, and interesting locations in Kent. The star of the trip for us was the Canterbury Cathedral. Greenwich and the river boat down the Thames was a great conclusion. Our driver, Sokol was also very helpful and did a great job keeping us on track and safe throughout the day. Will be looking for Golden Tours in the future.

Leeds/ Canterbury Tour - I booked the Leeds Castle, Canterbury and Dover Cliff tour for me and my hubby! Worth it!...especially if you have David as your guide, as he is FULL of knowledge with the history of England! We had a small group of 9, which made it even better. Reg, is a great driver! He knew which lanes to go to/ stay on, as traffic got a bit heavier. We ended with a river boat/Uber boat ride, a bonus to see a wide spred of tourist sites along the way back to your stop. An AMAZING full day!

Take a tour of Leeds Castle, Canterbury Cathedral - My guide Oliver and driver John were both very helpful to me as I was not good at English. I had a lot of free time at one place, but compared to other companies that came to the same tourist spot, It was very nice to see how easy it was to control the number of people. Again, thank you, Oliver, and John.

Castle, cathedral, cliffs - Leeds castle was gorgeous and a good amount of time was allotted for it. Dover was a 30 minute stop to get a glimpse. Canterbury we had an hour and ten minutes to view the cathedral grab lunch and get back and we rushed the whole time. Canterbury seems like a town you could explore all day. Same with Dover. Oliver was very passionate and informative and John was a great bus driver. Overall a good experience especially if you are trying to squeeze in a castle, a cathedral, and cliffs all in one day this is the perfect trip for that. Just bring snacks and water for the bus.

the service and overall management need improvement. - The boat ride was disappointing overall. While the scenery was beautiful, the experience felt rushed and not very well organized. Staff communication was poor and the seating area was not as comfortable or clean as expected. It had potential.

Book somewhere else. - I’d like to tell you about it. But it didn’t happen. Twice. The first time they notified us with a few days to spare. The second day we found out when we were at the bus stop waiting for our bus, after paying $40 for an Uber to get there.
