Leeds Castle and Canterbury Castle were very good but disappointed that we didn't get to Greenwich and cruise on the Thames and was not informed that this part of our tour was cancelled until we got on the bus. We were really looking forward to the cruise and didn't book any other cruises on the Thames as we were doing this one. So never got a cruise when we stayed in London. The bus driver and tour guide were very good.

Really great itinerary for a nice collection of sites that are worth checking out on an organized tour. Given the distances covered, I thought this was a great way to discover both Leeds Castle and Canterbury. The amount of time spent in each stop was well timed. Really informative guide.

My family enjoyed the trip to Leeds Castle - it's a beautiful place. The Canterbury Cathedral was amazing and great shopping in the area. We only got to spend about 20 minutes on the beach at Dover, so that was a little disappointing. The bus was very nice and comfortable and the tour guide was great. Overall, a good day trip.

Leeds Castle was beautiful just like the picture. We had a good time. But the ride down the river was on a water taxi not a tour boat which is what we were expecting. You can't see much from the boat since outside seating is very limited.

We had an awesome time! The length of the tour was pretty long, so you get very tired. We loved Leeds Castle, Canterbury, and Dover. We didn't get to spend much time in Greenwich, though. Overall it was an excellent tour. We were given enough time at the places other than Greenwich to do the tour, and then be able to do your own thing as well which was nice. Our guide, Barry, was very knowledgeable and kept you entertained throughout the bus rides. The boat tour was also quite nice and fun!

Great day trip - weather was wet and miserable but venues great. A little extra time through the Leeds Castle would have been better. Dover - more time needed here if weather nicer. We did not realise we had to make our own way back to the hotel after the tour which was a little disconcerting.

On the whole, we enjoyed the coach tour. Our guide, Paul, was great and friendly, as was our driver, Malcolm. Canterbury was our favorite part. We were given time to walk around and have lunch. The cathedral was absolutely stunning. Leeds Castle was an okay visit. Our tour guide for that portion was quite dull so we were less interested. Our main criticism of the itinerary is regarding the Cliffs of Dover portion. We were hoping to get a better view/get closer than standing on the beach a few miles away taking in the cliffs amidst the highway and construction. Greenwich was nice but very brief. The cruise back is a nice touch.

Our guide was excellent - provided lots of interesting details but didn't overwhelm us with information. What really impressed me was that we had enough time to really see both the Leeds castle and especially Canterbury Cathedral. The tour provided good value for the price in my opinion.

Great tour. Leeds castle was definately the highlight for me. So much history surrounding Canterbury cathedral. White cliffs of dover absolutely stunning. Would definitely recommend. This tour would be more appropriate for good weather.

The trip to Dover was a bit lackluster, we parked by the side of the road and the cliffs were a mile away, but that's the only detractor of an otherwise fantastic day. Leeds Castle and Canterbury were magical. Great tour.

The Canterbury Catherdral was cool. Very similar to Westminster. Leeds Castle was neat too, although I liked Windosr Castle more. I was a little disappointed that we couldn't tour the Dover castle.

This was a fascinating tour with a wonderful tour guide. Leeds Castle was gorgeous and we could have spent the whole day there. Canterbury Cathedral was interesting. The Cliffs of Dover was not what we expected. We though we would be on top of the cliffs not viewing from a parking lot. I would imagine there is a tour for the castle and fortress on top of the cliffs. Leeds and that would have been an awesome trip.

Leeds castle was a nice example of an ancient building updated to this century's needs. The boat ride at the end of the tour wasn't impressive.

We enjoyed everything EXCEPT the Leeds Castle tour guide. We barely even had time to explore it, and it was such a beautiful day!
Our Leeds tour guide (who was not our direct guide for the day) babbled and sometimes forgot key info and would just shrug her shoulders. :( HOWEVER, the rest of the day was wonderful!
Our main tour guide had dry humor, but it was hilarious.
