Wonderful tour, not to be missed! - First class tour! David was extremely friendly & very knowledgeable about every part of the tour. From the moment we departed we were given so much information about the landmarks we were passing & this continued right throughout the day. Our tour guide David & our driver John made the day a wonderful experience, one that we won’t ever forget! Thank you David for making our day tour so memorable!!

Far more interesting than you might expect - Oliver did a fantastic job. The time flew by. Our coach driver was excellent. So much to see. Leeds Castle was exceptional and we got in as soon as they opened. The Battle of Britain Memorial was so cool and we could see the white cliffs of Dover and all of the way across the channel to France. The cathedral in Canterbury was vast and filled with history, plus the whole city was a blast to explore. We finished in Greenwich and a Thames Cruise back to Westminster which was a huge added bonus. Highly recommended!

One day trip - I had an amazing experience on the Leeds Castle, Canterbury, Dover, and Greenwich Boat Ride tour with Golden Tours. The whole day was perfectly organized from start to finish. Leeds Castle was absolutely stunning — beautifully maintained and full of history. The guide shared fascinating stories that made the visit even more enjoyable. Canterbury was equally charming, and visiting the famous cathedral was a real highlight. Dover’s white cliffs were breathtaking, and we had plenty of time to take photos and enjoy the view. The boat ride in Greenwich was a wonderful way to end the day, offering great views of the Thames and London’s skyline. The provided snack pack was a thoughtful touch — just what we needed between stops! Our tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and kept everything running smoothly. The coach was clean and comfortable, making the journey relaxing and pleasant. Overall, it was a well-planned and memorable trip — perfect for anyone who wants to see some of England’s most beautiful and historic sites in one day. Highly recommend Golden Tours for their professionalism and excellent service!

The Scenic Tour - Toured with Oliver and Alex. Thanks to Alex for getting us around safely. This tour should be renamed the scenic tour. Leeds, Dover, Canterbury were all beautiful as well as the countryside between them all. The shuttle bus was big enough for small parties and even had a toilet which fortunately went unused. It would be nice to get a photo op of Dover Castle if possible.

Very well the Apollonia guide and Driver Lucien. The length of stay in each place is short. We really liked Greenwich. - Little time to visit each place, but very well the guide, Apollonia and driver Lucien. Comfortable bus and seats.
