Leave the hurly-burly of London for the day and tour the highlights of Kent. You'll have an exclusive private viewing of Leeds Castle, dubbed the loveliest castle in the world. You'll also tour the famous cathedral city of Canterbury, have lunch overlooking the famous White Cliffs of Dover, visit historic Greenwich, then cruise back to London in the early evening.
Leeds Castle Your tour of Kent begins with a private viewing of Leeds Castle before it opens to the public. Explore the chapel, galleries, courtyards and banqueting hall before taking time to enjoy the landscape and wildlife.
White Cliffs of Dover Take a scenic drive along the old coastal road for lunch (additional cost) in the historic Lighthouse Inn, dramatically overlooking the White Cliffs of Dover. Lunch includes traditional British fare such as fish and chips, and bread and butter pudding (from November to March lunch will be in Canterbury with no stop in Dover).
Canterbury Canterbury has been the center of Christian worship for almost 1,700 years. The cathedral was one of the most important medieval pilgrimage sites in Europe, immortalized by Geoffrey Chaucer in The Canterbury Tales. Your tour includes entrance to the cathedral, with free time to explore the old town.
Greenwich With exquisite parks, gardens and architecture, Greenwich has strong connections with the sea, science, sovereigns and time
After your walking tour of Greenwich you'll take a Thames River cruise back to London, passing such sights as the Tower of London, Big Ben and Houses of Parliament, before arriving at Westminster pier.
