Canterbury is a place very close to my heart. I've lived here for over 20 years and as a child would visit as a treat. It is now my privilege to guide people here. Set in the garden of England, dotted with delightful villages, fruit orchards and gentle rolling landscape which few visitors venture out to explore. So this tour is an opportunity, a day of contrasts combining the awe inspiring cathedral, medieval city and Kentish countryside. At its centre is the Cathedral, what a history! Part of a World Heritage Site, it goes back to 597AD. The medieval streets of Canterbury are great fun to explore. I'll regale you with stories both ancient and modern at every turn and twist of the way. Then with private transport we'll journey through some of the lesser known, picturesque villages of Kent where you may like to stop off at a local pub or teashop for lunch. We'll round off the day with a breathtaking stroll along the White Cliffs of Dover.
