Wouldn’t refund because of airline delay
Jamie_R
, Jul 2022
I was delayed by the airlines and unable to make the tour by the scheduled time. I emailed them in the morning before the tour. They offered for me to attend on an alternative date that wouldn’t work for me because of my plans and travel dates. But they would not refund my tour or give me a credit. This was disappointing. It was expensive and I wanted to do the tour. I hope to come back one day and do not think I will do it with Anderson Tours because of they didn’t give a refund or credit for issues out of my control.
Response from Host , Jul 2022
Hi Jamie,
We find your review very disappointing and a bit unfair. You were booked onto a tour that was full and only notified us of your intention to cancel as you were too tired on the morning of the tour, which is outside the policy for refunds or amendments. Despite this being your decision and through no fault of our own, we still offered you the option to join a tour the following day which you declined. Your words to us at the time by message were 'I’ll be back in the fall. Is there a way to get a credit for the tour or a voucher to use when I come back? I understand if that isn’t possible.Thank you for replying and offering to let me join one of those days! That is very kind.'
We hope you have enjoyed your trip to London anyway despite the delay with getting your bags after your flight.
Take care.
Good sites to visit and poor tour
Janice_M
, Jun 2022
The locations were good and scenic. The bus driver Brian was not friendly and the tour guide Yasmine gave us very little info on the sites visited and was not personable at all. Basically took us as quickly at possible to the entrance gave us our entrance tickets then disappeared no where to be seen til we returned to the bus. There was also no wifi on the bus. If you past Yasmine on the street she didn’t even acknowledge you when others on the tour recognized us. Also she walked way to fast and left the slow people on the tour behind struggling to catch up when walking to the site entrances.
As a result we were very disappointed in the tour which was costly and we got little for it other then being driven to the sites which we could have done ourselves. Anderson tours for this tour with this bus driver and tour guide was terrible.
Response from Host , Jul 2022
Hi Janice,
We are so very sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your experience with us. Yasmin is actually a fairly new tour guide to us, but we have received 5 star reviews from other customers on this same day, so we are not too sure why you found the experience so much worse than others did. We do not advertise WIFI on our coaches, as coach WIFI is very patchy in the UK anyway so we would rather not provide a service than advertise one that will not be of a high enough quality anyway. Most guiding is done from the coach, so that travellers can use the time at the sites to explore them at their own pace. Dover Castle is very big, for example, and people have different interests and preferences so often want to see different parts of it. Most people find this mix of guiding and free time enjoyable, we are sorry that you did not or if it was not what you were expecting. We will speak to Yasmin to make sure she is extra careful that any slow walkers in the group are able to keep up with her in future, we are sorry if you felt she walked too fast. Terrible seems like a harsh way to describe what sounds like minor issues, but we are extremely sorry that you feel that way. Perhaps a private tour that is catered to your precise requirements would be more to your liking.
We hope you enjoyed your holiday to the UK regardless!
Beautiful

Our tour guide was awesome always making sure everyone knew the history behind things, was comfortable. She was making sure that everyone got what they wanted out of the tour and offered to take photographs at sites when she noticed you taking selfies.
Dover was awesome
Laurie_B
, Jun 2022
The most memorable was the Dover castle & the war tunnels. And the white cliffs too. The Canterbury Cathedral was amazing but we didn’t have enough time at Dover castle to explore all of it and we had too much time at Cantebury. It would be better to balance that out.
The reason i gave the trip a 3 and not higher was due to the bus. The seats had so little room we couldn’t fit our legs behind the seats. And there weren’t enough sears for me & my husband to sit together. That was unfortunate.
Response from Host , Jun 2022
Dear Laurie
Thank you for your review and we are sorry to hear you were uncomfortable on the journey. All the vehicles are standard, modern coaches to the latest Euro 6 specifications with standard sized seating.
There is a lot to see at Dover Castle, with several war tunnels, the Great Tower and the Roman light house. We are glad you got to explore one of the tunnels and hope you were able to climb the Tower too. It is a large castle with a lot to see.
Kind Regards

Spectacular Sights of England

We enjoyed all of this your. From the tour guide and bus operator to the stunning views of the White Cliffs of Dover, the Dover Castle, and spectacular Canterbury Cathedral. Our tour guide was was very knowledgeable and friendly. Giving tips on areas to see and places to eat. It was an easy way to see all of these sights without worrying about directions, parking, tickets to each area. I will definitely recommend this tour to friends. It’s a must see if visiting the the UK.
Wonderful trip!

Maria, our guide and Ricardo, our driver were wonderful. There was plenty of time at each location. We loved Dover castle. We went on a Sunday so traffic was light getting out of London. The weather was beautiful too! There is a lot of walking
Wonderful outing

Trip was a pleasure. Liz was a wonderful tour guide. She was clear, informative, and entertaining. Just the right amount. The tour provided the perfect amount of time at each stop. Thank you.
Can skip this trip!

It was an average trip , we thought we would get more time in Dover and white cliffs , but we were given three hours in Canterbury and that was not at all required, we simply roamed the streets of the city and there was nothing much to see.
If same time were given to us in White cliffs we would have enjoyed more walking down the beach as it was a pleasant day.
Response from Host , Jun 2022
Thank you for your feedback, it is very valuable for us to try and improve our tour. We are sorry to hear you did not enjoy Canterbury very much. It would be very helpful for us to know which date you travelled on, so we can find out the timings given on that date, but unfortunately we do not provide time to walk on the beach in Dover usually, as there isn't enough time - we usually provide around 45mins-1hr to view the sea and white cliffs from the high vantage viewing point, as we find this works well with the day's itinerary and most people enjoy it. We are really very sorry to hear that you did not enjoy the trip as much as most of our customers do, and will definitely take your feedback on board for future trips.

Not worth the money
Francine_B

This tour should indicate clearly that a high level of physical fitness is required. All three attractions require a lot of walking and climbing. The visit at the cliffs is somewhat disappointing. Very limited portion of the cliffs visible. The guide failed to indicate restrooms and food locations. After a two hour drive she should wait for people to use the facilities. She also walked too fast even for me who is in good shape. Not worth the money.
Response from Host , Jun 2022
Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback. We do actually specify in the tour details that this tour involves a significant amount of walking if you want to experience all the sites thoroughly, but will look into making the information more prominent - sorry if you were not aware. Your feedback about the tour guide is very valuable, as she is a new guide to us so perhaps is in need of some further training. We are so sorry to hear that you didn't feel our tour was worth the money and would be happy to offer you a discount off another tour if there is anywhere else you would like to go. Our Canterbury & Dover tour is usually very popular and gets a lot of 5-star reviews, so we will do our best to take your feedback into account to ensure a 5-star experience for customers in the future.
Dover, Cliffs, and Canterbury
Staci_C

Dover Castle, the cliffs, and Canterbury were all amazing and definitely worth visiting! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and she gave us an optional short tour in Canterbury at the end of the day which was phenomenal. Per usual, you never have enough time to fully visit the locations, but you really do get to see a lot. I do wish we had had time to check out the WWII tunnels at Dover castle, but hopefully we can explore them another time.
Don’t miss this tour! Worth seeing!

Cathedral was Simply stunning! Wished we could have had more time in Dover Castle and the cliffs. Driver/guide was very knowledgeable and insightful.
Response from Host , Apr 2022
Dear Jennifer
Thank you for your review and we are pleased to hear you enjoyed the experience, especially the beautiful cathedral at Canterbury.
On a nice day the castle and cliffs at Dover are a lovely place to be, but there's only so much we can do in a day.
Kind Regards
