La parada en Dover en el lugar donde estuvimos no tuvo ningún sentido porque los acantilados apenas se apteciaban porque estaban lejísimos y el tiempo dedicado a Canterbury fue mínimo siendo la principal ciudad de la excursión. Y por último el guía es muy bueno técnicamente, sabe mucha historia, pero no ha sido amable en sus contestaciones rayando la mala educación.

The stop in Dover, where we were, made no sense because the cliffs were barely visible due to their distance, and the time spent in Canterbury, the main city of the tour, was minimal. Finally, the guide, while technically very good and knowledgeable about history, was unfriendly and bordered on rude.

El guía nos explicó las actividades claramente desde la salida y antes de llegar a cada una de las paradas. Al regreso nostros decidimos quedarnos por nuestra cuenta en Greenwich. Lo ideal sería, desde mi punto de vista, que nos dieran individualmente el ticket para el Uberboat de regreso y que cada quien lo pueda usar con el horario establecido del tour o cuando decida regresar más tarde. Recomiendo ampliamente la visita. Sería muy útil tener más tiempo en Canterbury. Translate this opinion into English.

The guide clearly explained the activities from the start and before we arrived at each stop. On the way back, we decided to explore Greenwich on our own. Ideally, in my opinion, we should each receive an individual Uberboat ticket for the return trip, which we could use either according to the tour schedule or whenever we choose to return later. I highly recommend the tour. Having more time in Canterbury would be very helpful. Opinion translated. Show original.

El tour estuvo bien, Trisha nuestra guía es competente, pero al igual que el anterior, no tuvimos tiempo para comer. Tal parece que en estos tours la comida no importa. Teníamos 20 minutos para comer y tuvimos que hacerlo en la camioneta. No me gusta eso. Mala Organización Translate this opinion into English.

The tour was good, Trisha our guide is competent, but like the previous one, we didn't have time to eat. It seems that in these tours food doesn't matter. We had 20 minutes to eat and had to do it in the van. I don't like that. Poor organization. Opinion translated. Show original.

tienen que poner gente que sepa hablar perfecto español !!! no eso que no se entiende nada y es horrible. ademas de saber mas de historia y contarla con seriedad la verdad apolonia un desastre la excursion con ese guia me resulto espantosa obvio que los lugares no

They need to hire people who speak perfect Spanish! Not those people who are completely incomprehensible and awful. They should also know more about history and be able to tell it with seriousness. Honestly, Apollonia was a disaster. The tour with that guide was dreadful, and obviously the places weren't...

Los trayectos son largos. Hubo una parada en unas “cascadas/ rápidos” que no hay nada. Todo estaba cerrado y pasamos ahí una hora sin hacer nada. La mayoría de gente estaba de vuelta en el bus mucho antes de la hora acordada porque no había nada que hacer. Los horarios en las paradas muy mal distribuidos. En lugares donde pudimos permanecer más tiempo porque había más cosas por hacer, nos dejaban poco tiempo y donde no había nada por hacer, mucho tiempo.

The journeys are long. There was a stop at some "waterfalls/rapids" where there was absolutely nothing. Everything was closed, and we spent an hour there doing nothing. Most people were back on the bus well before the scheduled time because there was nothing to do. The schedules at the stops were very poorly organized. In places where we could have stayed longer because there were other things to do, we were given very little time, and in places where there was nothing to do, we were given a lot of time.

La gestión del itinerario muy mejorable. El castillo de Leeds, bien pero prescindible. Los acantilados se ven solo desde abajo, desde la playa. Muy decepcionante la visita, porque esperábamos verlos desde arriba. Los acantilados de Dover impresionantes, la visita mal. Y Canterbury preciosa, pero 2 horas con la comida es muy poco tiempo. El guía, Óscar, muy atento y el conductor muy bien. No recomendaría la excursión con esta empresa.

The itinerary management could be much improved. Leeds Castle was nice but not essential. The cliffs can only be seen from below, from the beach. The visit was very disappointing because we expected to see them from above. The Dover cliffs are impressive, but the visit was poor. Canterbury is beautiful, but two hours with lunch is far too short. The guide, Oscar, was very attentive, and the driver was very good. I wouldn't recommend this tour company.

Gracias por compartir tu experiencia. Nos alegra saber que valoras positivamente la atención del guía y el trabajo del conductor. Lamentamos que la organización del itinerario y el tiempo disponible en algunas paradas no hayan cumplido tus expectativas, especialmente en la visita a los acantilados y Canterbury. Tomamos nota de tus comentarios para seguir mejorando la planificación y la experiencia ofrecida a nuestros viajeros. Translate this opinion into English.

No lo recomiendo. Anuncian una cosa y la realidad es otra. No es un tour en español ni bilingüe. Es en inglés con un resumen en español. Mucho tiempo en Leeds, 10 min en una playa de piedras en dover prescindible y muy poco en Canterbury. Para remate final, el paseo en barco es un UberBoat que dejaba mucho que desear… Lamentable experiencia, no lo recomiendo.

I don't recommend it. They advertise one thing, but the reality is quite different. It's not a tour in Spanish or even bilingual. It's in English with a brief summary in Spanish. Too much time is spent in Leeds, 10 minutes on a completely unnecessary pebble beach in Dover, and very little time in Canterbury. To top it all off, the boat trip was an UberBoat that left much to be desired… A regrettable experience; I don't recommend it.

Si bien el tour es interesante, se suponía que sería en inglés y español, pero al llegar al castillo Leeds solo fue en inglés, tuve que revisar la información en internet para saber la historia, mal que vendan un tour en ambos idiomas y solo expliquen en uno

While the tour was interesting, it was supposed to be in both English and Spanish, but upon arriving at Leeds Castle, it was only in English. I had to look up the information online to learn the history. It's a shame they advertise a tour in both languages and only explain it in one.

El día empezó muy bien visitando el castillo de Leeds. De aquí fuimos a Dover a ver supuestamente los acantilados, nos dejaron 20 min en el puerto. Ni se veían los acantilados ni vimos el memorial de la batalla de Inglaterra. Dos horas de bus para eso Después, Canterbury. Solo dos horas para ver la ciudad y la catedral, sin guía Greenwich no nos lo enseñaron y nos llevaron a coger el extremadamente estresante crucero. Llegamos a Londres una hora antes de lo programado No recomendaremos el tour

The day started off great with a visit to Leeds Castle. From there, we went to Dover, supposedly to see the cliffs, but they only gave us 20 minutes at the port. We couldn't see the cliffs, nor did we see the Battle of Britain memorial. A two-hour bus ride for that! Next, we went to Canterbury. We only had two hours to see the city and the cathedral, and without a guide. Greenwich wasn't shown to us, and instead, we were taken to catch the extremely stressful cruise. We arrived back in London an hour earlier than scheduled. We would not recommend this tour.
