Overview

Join us on a 11 hour small group, maximum 16 people, day tour from London, to Canterbury, Dover and Kent Villages. This tour takes us through the county known as the "Garden of England". We will travel through time - literally, with a visit to Greenwich where GMT began. Then out deep into the beautiful Kent countryside and a stop in the glorious traditional Kentish village of Chilham. Following Chilham we take the scenic route onto the famous White Cliffs of Dover where we descend down to the shore for spectacular views along the coast and up at the glistening white cliffs immediately behind us. On from the cliffs we head to Dover Castle, where you can explore and see over 2000 years of history, from the Roman era church, to the Medieval embattlements and tunnels dug during WW2. Then on to the city of Canterbury, with its world famous 900 year old cathedral. Visit the cathedral and join us on a guided walking tour of Canterbury before our return to London after a full day exploring.

Itinerary

  • Greenwich

    We make a short stop in Greenwich on our way out of London. Greenwich forms part of our natural route out of the city and is a great place for us to stop and grab a coffee and use the bathroom before we get out into the countryside. Admire the Cutty Sark - a famous restored 19th century tea clipper sailing ship. Hear stories of Kings and Queens visiting, and learn about the observatory that gave birth to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and see the famous Royal Naval College.

    20 minutes

  • Chilham Village

    Wander round this beautiful example of a traditional English village. Full of charm and centred around a village square, with a church, pub and tearooms. Chilham is perhaps Kent's most beautiful village

    15 minutes

  • The White Cliffs of Dover

    We bring you down to the shoreline under the world famous White Cliffs of Dover. One of England's most iconic natural locations, and a welcome sight for soldiers and pilots returning home from warfare in history. Stroll along the pebble beach with the cliffs behind you, and weather permitting, a view 20 miles across the English Channel to France.

    20 minutes

  • Dover Castle

    Explore this glorious medieval castle - describes as the "Key to England". Huge defensive significance throughout English history, and in use as a defensive position since the Iron Age 3000 years ago, also used by the Romans - evidenced by a Roman lighthouse on the site - the most complete standing Roman structure in England. You'll have a couple of hours to visit this incredible castle - perhaps have a bite to eat in one of their cafes.

    2 hours

  • Canterbury Cathedral

    We spend 2.5 hours in Canterbury. Time to explore this famous English city, perhaps do some shopping, have a bite to eat or a drink in one of it's many charismatic pubs. Perhaps take the time to visit the spectacular UNESCO world heritage site cathedral - the enormous 11th century Canterbury Cathedral. Later, join your guide for a walking tour of the history and highlights of Canterbury, hear stories of Chaucer and the founding fathers, follow in the footsteps of pilgrims visiting the shrine of Thomas Becket, before we head off

    2 hours 30 minutes

Book with the English Bus!

Published on Jan, 2025

We booked this tour looking for something more than we would find on a standard tour bus… and we got it! Taking a smaller van allowed us to see so much more than we would have in a larger tour bus. By far the highlight of our vacation. Andy was a terrific guide who was very knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions. All of the stops were enjoyable and we had plenty of time at each one to see/do everything we wanted. We will be sure to book with the English Bus again on our next trip!

Super informative and fun, Jon was our guide and he was fantastic. I think the guides are the main reason to go on a tour if you already have a car, and he definitely didn’t disappoint. Would 100% recommend it! And definitely go on the walking tour in Canterbury!

Great way to see/visit/learn about areas outside of London. Along the drive, the history of each location was explained and it was very interesting. The Dover Cliffs and Canterbury were amazing places. Highly recommend this day trip with this company!
