My name is Anthony. I was raised here in Kent and am fortunate enough to live within the heart of historic Canterbury. After spending many years exploring the county's beautiful country lanes and coastline, I have come to know Kent's most stunning locations and want to share the very best of these with you. After all, this is the 'Garden of England' - a county of white cliffs and gentle, green rolling hills; country lanes and quaint cottages; imposing castles and delightful country houses; village greens and country pubs; medieval churches and awe-inspiring cathedrals. I have also got an excellent knowledge of History. I have three degrees in this subject including a doctorate from Cambridge University. It was here that I fulfilled a life-long love of this subject but also the recognition that I wanted to spend my time doing something inspirational, meaningful and fulfilling. For me, being a guide for small private groups is an incredible privilege and a source for all these things. I love showing guests special places that are completely off the beaten track and which satisfy our innate curiosity and desire for authenticity. I love bringing to life periods of Britain’s most significant and impactful history. But unquestionably the most satisfying reward of all is providing a unique experience and a day that will live in your memory for many years to come. Here is what other guests have said in reviews for Kent and Country Tours:- "We had the privilege of experiencing Kent in the most enjoyable way, thanks to the expertise of our charming tour guide, Anthony. Given his local upbringing and unparalleled education on the subject matter, we felt like we had won the tour guide lottery. This, in addition to being the perfect English gentleman, and his peaceful and personable demeanour, left us feeling like we had the most quintessential Kent experience." (Jennifer E, USA) "As a constant traveller who regularly books tours, I can easily say that this was the best tour I have ever taken! Anthony made me fall in love with Kent. " (Jennifer M, USA); "This guided tour is beyond exceptional." (Brad, USA) "Anthony is by far the best tour guide I've ever had! Personable, knowledgeable, charismatic, flexible. So great!" (Nathan, Australia) "A wonderful guide - warm, witty and deeply knowledgeable. He made Kent's stories and charm come alive and turned the day into a truly memorable experience." (Minna, Norway) "All 8 of us would give him 10 stars if that were possible" (Toe Su, UK); "Right away it was like spending time with a good friend. Thanks for making our trip amazing." (Dwain, USA); "This was a fantastic experience. Anthony absolutely made this day great" (Dr Joshua G, Australia)

    Anthony was a fabulous tour guide! He was all prepared with fans and water for us in the hot weather. He was so kind and knowledgeable; he answered all our questions and took us to beautiful places off the usual tourist route. We very much enjoyed our day with Anthony and would definitely book with him again!

    Kent and Country Tours provided my family and me with two outstanding tours across Kent! Our tour operator was extremely knowledgeable and personable, the van was very comfortable, and he went out of his way to show us sights “off the beaten path” and share his love of this beautiful part of England. We look forward to being repeat customers; I’d rate Kent and Country...
