My name is Anthony. I was raised in Kent and, after spending my early years walking and cycling around this beautiful county and exploring its country lanes and coastline, know the area intimately. I am also an expert in History. I went to University where I took three degrees including a PhD from Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. 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 all those. How else can you share knowledge of Britain’s most significant and impactful history with like-minded people? How often can you explore those special places off the well-trodden tourist track that satisfies our curiosity and desire for authenticity? How else can you return home at the end of the day feeling that you have had the most memorable day with people that you could call friends?

Quintessentially Kent: A Carefully Crafted Tour Which Shows You The Very Best And Most Authentic Locations In Just One Day
Overview of your Canterbury tour
Want to escape London for the day or arriving on a cruise ship for a few hours? This trip is perfect for those who want to see the very best of Kent - its incredible history and breath-taking countryside and coastline in just one day - and all under the guidance of an expert! Armed with my intimate understanding of the local area and academic knowledge gained from a Cambridge University PhD, you will discover what makes this place truly memorable - its history from the invading Romans from AD43 and Normans from 1066; the imposing medieval Dover Castle and its WW2 underground tunnels within the cliffs from where the Dunkirk evacuation was co-ordinated in 1940; the spectacular White Cliffs; rolling hills and hidden villages; and an unforgettable experience of a delightful English country house from 1638 with a 'Downton Abbey-esque' interior. Reviews have described the experience as "Beyond Exceptional" and "The Best Tour in Kent" .
