A bit rushed, and we only saw the Dover cliffs from quite a distance. The staff was very friendly and guide knowledgeable.

Leeds Castle, Canterbury & Dover Day Trip

On the day of the activity, we'll leave central London at the indicated time on an air-conditioned coach and relax while we're taken southeast towards Leeds, a small town 60 km (37 miles) away from the capital.

Leeds Castle was described as “the most beautiful castle in the world” by Lord Conway. It was established on two idyllic islands in the heart of Kent and it has 200 hectares of land. Our trip includes a tour inside the palace to discover this landmark’s long history. We'll also be able to try a glass of mead as Henry VIII would have.

Our next stop will be Canterbury, a striking Medieval city renowned for its Cathedral. Canterbury Cathedral is a medieval masterpiece that preserves many original details from the 12th and 13th centuries. Archbishop Thomas Becket was murdered by four knights in the Cathedral in 1170. After the visit to the Cathedral, you'll have time to wander around and have a bite to eat.

Our picturesque journey will continue with a view of the White Cliffs of Dover in the distance, part of the English coastline standing 350 ft (120 m) high.

The day trip will end at the Thames Embankment after a total of 10 hours.

Itinerary Changes

Depending on the season, the tour will be conducted in the following way:

From November to March: this option includes a ticket to Leeds Castle and Canterbury Cathedral.
From April to October: this option includes a ticket to Leeds Castle, Canterbury Cathedral, and a cruise on the Thames.
