Amazing - Matt is great!!!
First off he adjusted the tour to accommodate when our ship we be in port. He went out of his way to show us. so much of the areas, things you wouldn’t be able to access on a big bus. He showed us samples of the areas we went to, and had all kinds of information on his lap top available about the areas visited if we were curious.
Lastly thoughtful, of every tour I had go e one, he had a charge cord for my phone as it got very low from all the pictures I was taking.
Arguably the Best tour we took.

Excellent Day in Dover with Matt - Love the commentary provided by Matt. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about sharing his knowledge of the area. We also loved the smaller bus and tour group. Excellent driving as well!!

Canterbury and a Ham Sandwich - Our tour guide, Matt, did a remarkable job giving us the details and history of each location we visited. We felt like we were a part of the history and our surroundings which made for a great destination tour. Because it was a Sunday, we weren't able to get into Canterbury Cathedral and we also missed a stop in Sandwich because of a Medieval Festival (which would have been a nice addition), but we did get time at the iconic Ham/Sandwich road marker and saw some beautiful countryside.
I personally would have either liked more time in the beach town of Deal to actually get time for a relaxing lunch, or eliminate that stop to spend more time along the way.
All in all, Matt did a fabulous job giving us the key highlights, and I'd definitely recommend this tour to others.

Don’t Miss taking this tour. - It was an amazing tour with our guide & driver Matt. He was incredible & was very accommodating for a few of us with some mobility issues. We all agreed it was the best tour we had during our 12 night cruise which included Iceland, Belfast, Liverpool then Dover. Charming towns & hamlets & beautiful landscapes. If there was a way to give it more than 5 stars I would.

Great Historical Tour - I enjoyed a walk along the Cliffs of Dover and hearing the history of the area. A visit to the Britain at War Memorial, Coventy and the Cathedral, Deal and Dover Castles. It was a great fun day full of history. I highly recommend this tour.

Excellent Tour with Matt - We loved this tour! Matt picked us up from the ship and conducted an excellent tour. The bus was not completely full, which was nice. We had also let Matt know ahead of time that two of our party had issues with car sickness, so he held seats at the front for us. The stops were excellent, from the white cliffs to the Battle of Britain Memorial, Sandwich, Canterbury and more fun stops. The Deal Beach Parlour has incredibly creamy soft serve. All in all, we highly recommend this tour!

Would recommend, but remind them about all aboard time - The experience was great and we saw a lot of amazing sights. The only star taken off was because we got on the cruise ship only 6 minutes before all aboard so we were stressed for about the last 45 minutes of the tour.
