Doing what: Leeds Castle Private Viewing, Canterbury and Greenwich Day Trip from London
The entire tour was a great experience in which we loved the time at Leeds Castle the most. Not to forget the guide of the tour Steev, who really was an encyclopedia. It would have been perfect if we were able to see the greenwich museum also but couldn't help since it was closed on the day we visited. The rain at the end of the journey (during the river cruise) did made some difficulties for us (since we were with a baby with 2 1/2 yrs) but should say didn't hamper the fun and experience in any ways. Finally a special thanks to the guys of the tour coach company who helped me to catch the coach as I was late to the departing point on that day. We would have missed this great tour if not for those guys who drove me in their vehicle till we reached the touring party. All in all it was a great experience!!!

This was my favorite of the 4 tours we did through Viator/Evan Evans! Leeds Castle and its grounds were amazing. Canterbury Cathedral beats all other cathedrals hands-down! Dover was a quick stop, but it was a clear enough day to see over to France on the other side of the English Channel. Our guide, Sheila, was the best guide--she could be a history professor with all the knowledge she has about these places and England in general!

A wonderful day out enjoyed by all in our party of 8 friends. Tour Guide was excellent, as was our coach driver. We would return to Leeds Castle just to spend a day in the grounds. There was not time whilst we were there.

We loved Leeds Castle. My daughter has decided she is going to get married there. We had lots of time to see the whole Castle and walk through it at a normal pace. Canterbury was beautiful. We only did a short stop in Dover (about 20 minutes) but it was chilly out so it was just enough time for us. The tour guide was good, however we weren't aware he was going to be speaking English as well as Japanese, so it felt like there was a lot of extra talking throughout it.

Hi once again, you could hear more from me as my family and I are going to O'AHU in Sept. Thoroughly enjoyed this coach trip. Lovely walking through Leeds castle, and seeing the Canterbury Cathedral - sort of more impressive than Notre Dame in a way. Probably would have liked the opportunity to grab a coffee at Dover only there for about 15 minutes, other than that it was a most enjoyable tour. Thanks to Chrissy the commentator - she was very helpful to all - regardless of nationality - and very eloquent. Bus driver forgotten his name was great at his job as well. Thanks for this trip Viator - highly recommend it.

This tour was just great. We got picked up on time and our guide was very nice and even when she spoke English and Japanese, nobody felt like missing important facts. Leeds Castle is a lovely little castle with an interesting history. Don’t miss to have a walk in the gardens – even when it’s raining they are lovely and colourful. Be prepared, you will take lots of photos! Canterbury Cathedral was really impressive and we really had enough time to explore it by ourselves. The instructions given by the guide for finding back to the bus were clear and we never felt lost. Even if English isn’t your mother tongue, it is easy to follow the explanations. The stop in Dover is a photo stop only, but the guide will show you the best position for taking a photo to remember in this short time. Definitely a tour we would do again!

This was an excellent day. From the hotel pick up,highly entertaining and informative tour guide, clean bus and day's itinerary, nothing could be faulted. Loved Leeds Castle and its grounds. Canterbury Cathedral is a must see and dipping our toes at Dover was refreshing. The lunch suggestion was good value.

Great trip, although I was a bit disappointed by Dover - too brief a stop - the logistics of the setting road, buildings in the way, curve of coastline make it hard to appreciate the views. I think someone who is interested in the military aspect of the cliffs would enjoy it the most. Leeds Castle was just gorgeous, with the garden in full bloom, and we enjoyed the aviary. Didn't have time for the maze, but that would have been fun. Could easily have stayed there much longer. The stop in Canterbury was just the right amount of time & the cathedral was amazing. The tour guide was good, but the bus was a bit cramped. Not impressed with the place they took us for lunch - I know it's hard to accomodate a large group, but the food was so-so.

David was a great tour guide. Leeds Castle was interesting as was the White Cliffs of Dover. Canterbury was wonderful and I learned so much at Greenwich. Fantastic tour.

The day was long but well worth it. We enjoyed the private tour of Leeds Castle before the general public and the early entry at the other sites including the boat. The guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the sites and prepared us before we arrived at the sites. The time spent at each site was just about right for all, and the group was about 25 people.

Quick glimpse of the Greenwich observatory on our way to Leeds Castle - just like the pictures- we were able to drive up quite close to the castle, avoiding the peacocks. The interior of the castle is quite beautiful as are the wonderful gardens and aviary. There is even a maze. The setting is amazing with a lake and sheep in the distance. Then it was off to Canterbury. The Cathedral is massive and the stained glass windows go on and on. After lunch we left for Dover, walked the beach and looked across the channel to France. Our guide Mark pointed out the tunnels in the cliffs that the allies used during the war. Mark was so knowledgeable about all our stops as well as points of interest along the way. Great tour, great guide.

We really enjoyed this tour. The guide was excellent and while there was not alot to see in Dover beyond the white cliffs and pillboxes, it was still meaningful to see these WWII important places. Leeds Castle was wonderful to see. Pickup was near the hotel but dropoff was about a mile from the hotel.

This was a very nice tour. The private tour of Leeds Castle was great! Canterbury is a lovely town, but could have used more time in Greenwich. The tour guide was friendly and also very knowledgeable.
