The stories from Canterbury

Published on Jun, 2024

I really enjoyed the tour. It lasted, as promised, 1,5 hours. The guide, Sam, was great, and I learned a lot of stories about Canterbury. It was an evening walk, and only I came, and still it was done with equal enthusiasm, as there was a large group present. Thanks, Sam.

Excellent overview of Canterbury

Published on May, 2024

Guide was fantastic. Learned a lot about the history and the architecture. Much more than I would have ever uncovered on my own. Great tour!
