Canterbury Cathedral, London, United Kingdom

Go Tours Ltd

Embark on a small-group tour of Kent from London, where participants will spend a day exploring two of the region's most iconic destinations: Canterbury, known as the cathedral city, and the breathtaking White Cliffs of Dover.



Upon embarking on this journey, travelers will begin their exploration of Kent, renowned as the "Garden of England," starting with an arrival in the historic city of Canterbury.

Embarkation from London marks the beginning of a leisurely yet enriching day dedicated to uncovering Kent’s quintessential charm. At Canterbury, visitors can immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of history, commencing with a pilgrimage to Canterbury Cathedral, dating back to the 6th century when Saint Augustine founded Christianity in Britain.

Nestled within the heart of Canterbury, the cathedral offers a sanctuary for those seeking spiritual renewal. This sacred edifice stands as a testament to centuries of devotion and architectural innovation. Time permits for an exploration of the cathedral’s intricate architecture and ornate interiors, alongside a wander through the city’s bustling streets, where remnants of medieval life still resonate.

Continuing eastward, travelers reach the picturesque seaside town of Deal, marking another pivotal stop on their itinerary. The area was once the landing point of the first Roman invasion into Britain more than 2,000 years ago, making it a site steeped in historical significance.

Upon reaching Deal, guests are invited to indulge in the seaside atmosphere, browse the quaint high street, and savor local delicacies. For a taste of traditional British fare, consider sampling the popular dish, fish and chips, served fresh off the docks.

The day concludes with a visit to the famous White Cliffs of Dover, one of Britain’s most recognizable coastal landmarks. As they traverse these cliffs, visitors have ample opportunity to stroll along the rugged coastline, marveling at the breathtaking vistas and admiring the fortress-like Dover Castle, which has stood guard since Roman times.

By dusk, travelers return to London, having completed a memorable expedition across Kent, capturing its essence through its cultural heritage, natural beauty, and historic sites.
