Canterbury and Dover Tour from London

Went withmy brother on this trip. A new company to me but a really good one. Our guide Tass and driver Peter, took us safely through Greenwich out to the motor way heading to Dover. Aforistiska stop at Dover castle, then the cliffs and finally Canterbury. We got enough time on every stop. We could have planned better ourselves, and eaten at The cliffs of Dover instead of in Canterbury, because I would have liked to spend more time in that town. But by then we were to hungry to do more than visit the cathedral. Over all, a nice and satisfactory trip.

Dover Castle was the highlight for me. England's largest castle with a fascinating tunnel complex included enjoyable cameo appearances by actors performing parodies of King Henry II and his royal family. The tour guide was friendly and provided interesting historical overviews on rides between sites. I'm subtracting one star because the guide got us to Canterbury with only 40 minutes to tour England's oldest cathedral before closing time. OK for me but, if you are a cathedral maven hoping for more time, take note. Overall, an excellent day!

The driver was excellent. Very friendly and knowledgeable. We did not arrive in Oxford until 3:00 or 3:30 which did not leave much daylight hours and was close to closing times for many sites like the cathedral and museum. At this time of year it would seem better to go to Oxford first.

Dover Cliffs and Castle and the Canterbury Cathedral were a perfect day trip. Great and thoughtful info and history shared by Giovanna along the way. She and Desmond were fun and professional.

Great trip - the guide was excellent! Friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. Despite the crazy wind the Castle was worth the drive. So much history. Canterbury was charming, I’d love to spend a full day there. Thank you!

The trip worked out well with the coach showing up right on time at the prescribed location. Seems like we had a larger group then they were generally used to, and though we had a number of 'stragglers' at each location (that did not show up on time when they were supposed to be back at the bus), the tour guide and driver still ensured that we had the requisite amount of time at each location (we got back a bit late, but would rather have been returning late than have the time cut short). The weather was lousy in London but opened up to sunny skies with a lot of wind at the castle and the cliffs. Views were great and again had ample time to see everything we wanted to see at Dover Castle, White Cliffs, and Canterbury (including a quick bite to eat at the Castle as well as a tour of the underground hospital as well as another quick bite in Canterbury). Just be prepared for a LOT of walking up and down a lot of hilly terrain on this tour - we felt bad for the older folks in walkers or that were not as ambulatory that were huffing and puffing. My apple watch ways we walked up 32 flights of stairs and over 15,000 steps on this tour. If you can keep up, you won't be disappointed. Would recommend that the operator consider a shuttle for those that are less able to walk to allow them to get to the accessible locations on the tour.

Enjoyable experience, Guide could have had more information about some of the towns and scenes we passed before getting to Dover.

Bus broke down, paid our own train fare back asked for refund. Given a third back with no explanation. Tried to follow-up but no result

Dover Castle was closed yet the tour departed London without informing customers. While en route to Dover, we check Dover Castle website to see castle was closed. Weather with high wind had been forecasted in advance yet the tour operated (Anderson Tours operating on behalf of Viator). We pulled up to the Dover Castle (there were no other tour buses to be seen) and unloaded in the rain only to be told the Castle was closed. Bus left us to stand in the wind and rain. We were then informed that we also not be seeing the white cliffs at Dover which was the only reason for taking this tour. Rather than taking us back to London so we could salvage our only day remaining, we were to taken to an alternate location that we had no interest in seeing. We ended up leaving the tour and taking the train back to London. Worst tour ever and poorest customer service. No refunded given for their poor planning and ruining our day. Go elsewhere.

We enjoyed this tour. All three stops were great. Wish we had more time to walk at cliffs of Dover - like 1-2 hours. Our guide was lovely - she make sure we all knew where we were going and took care to answer questions. Thank you!
