My husband and I had a great time on this trip. The tour guide was genial, funny, and knowledgeable. The bus ride was comfortable and smooth. And I felt we spend a good amount of time at each location.
This tour concentrates on Leeds Castle and Canterbury Cathedral. You drive past Dover Castle and have lunch at a quaint lighthouse pub that over looks the White Cliffs. You get about a photo opportunity at the cliffs and then you're taken on to the next stop.
I will say I was a bit disappointed about our time in Greenwich. The Cutty Sark was being renovated, so we had no access to it. And our tour guide didn't take us to the actual Prime Meridian. But at the same time, it was the end of the day, and we were a bit tired from all the traveling.
The boat ride made up for the Greenwich mishap, though. We saw the Globe Theatre and the Mayflower Pub - the place of the Pilgrims' mooring of the Mayflower.
One tip, though. If you want to be picked up from your hotel, make sure you call the vendor at least 24 hours in advance - or be prepared to get to Victoria Coach Station on time. At the end of the day, you get dropped off at Tower Hill.
The tour guide was wonderful! The private tour was excellent -- done very well -- and it's nice to walk through without the crowds. Canterbury was a wonderful place to visit -- had plenty of time to eat, shop and see the Abbey.

The private viewing of Leeds Castle was wonderful and we got to see everything without a big crowd. Our guide was very informative, she took us through the streets of Cantebury pointed out things of interest and made restaurant suggestions for lunch. The river cruise was beautiful. We didn't have the sparkling wine and scones because the regular boat was out of order but we had a great time anyway. Dark came while we were on the cruise and views were great.

We loved it! The tour was well organized. We saw a lot in one day, and there was a nice variety of places to see. We really felt we got a taste of England in a day - a very full day.

We had a fantastic time on this tour! Our guide was funny, entertaining, and very knowledgeable. He was interesting to listen to and most helpful. Leeds Castle lives up to its reputation, and although I wish we had more time there, we had a great experience. The cruise was fun, and it was nice to drink tea while riding in the boat. I highly recommend this tour.

We had a great time! The tour guide was awesome and gave lots of info about London and all along the route to the various locations. Leeds is a beautiful place, and it was really nice to enjoy the castle before the crowd. The food at the lighthouse was great. Dover and Canterbury were incredible. It was all topped off with the cruise - what a way to experience London!

My father and I had a great time on this tour, and the weather was fantastic as well. Our tour guide was especially great - he was very welcoming, funny, and overflowing with information, and he handled a difficult situation quite smoothly. I thought the price was a bit high at first, but it was definitely worth it by the end.

Our guide was excellent. I wish we had a little more time in Canterbury. The lunch at the Light House Inn, under new management was GREAT! Our guide called in advance and everything was ready when we arrived, very little time was wasted. The food was delicious. The boat tour on the Thames River was a perfect way to end an enjoyable day. This was an absolutely fantastic trip and I would recommend it to anyone going to England.

We took this tour and ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!! The Leeds Castle, Dover, Canterbury, Greenwich and Thames River Cruise was wonderful. Leeds castle was beautiful. It was great arriving before the public. Our guide did an excellent job of keeping the group on task and called ahead to make sure lunch was ready when we arrived. The Lighthouse Inn provided a delicious lunch. The fish and chips were excellent. The Thames River cruise was a wonderful way to end the day. The Cutty Sark was not available to see because of repairs (no great loss). I do wish we had a little more time to spend in Cantebury.
