Worth it tour! - This tour is worth it, lots of nice to know information about Canterbury and Dover’s history. Danxia, our lovely tour guide, is so clear in her articulation of words and voice modulation is great for a crowd. We heard and understand her narrations clearly. I will never King Henry VII now and Lady Eleanor! Rexhep is an excellent driver, hardly had any joltsy moment on the trip. Unfortunately, we got no cash on hand to hand any tips, can only pay thru card/mobile. But, we’ll gladly give if given the chance.

Dreamlike - A very pretty, relaxing place. The Castle itself is not worth a detour, but the surrounding gardens and parks.

Could be better - There’s a lot to see in a short time. Our first tour was cancelled and we had to rebook. Luckily we were able to move some activities and reschedule. The tour pick up location is a little confusing if you’re not familiar with the area. Even our uber driver was confused and he’s lived in London for 17 years! The tour description was pretty general and we may have chosen another option if we had been given details. First, we were looking forward to our stop in Dover. However, our guide said we weren’t going into the city because of pollution and the whole city smells. Instead, we went to the Battle of Britain memorial, which was interesting, but not what we expected. We used this tour company earlier in the week and we had a full 11-12 hour day. However we were told today. that because of regulations, today’s driver had to drop us off at Greenwich park, where we then walked 1/2-1 mile to board the “tour” boat. Not sure why regulations were different today. And the boat is an uber boat, not the tour boat you would expect. We weren’t given much information about where the boat docks and when we should exit. Only that the last stop was in Westminster but we could get off earlier if we wanted. (We are first time visitors to London and not familiar with the city.) We were on a bilingual tour where our guide would first give an English explanation and then translate it to possibly Italian. He did a great job with it, but at times it was difficult to follow. That’s not his fault. Shame on the tour company for not providing separate tours. I hope our Italian friends were given a discount on their tour. And that our guide got paid extra for doing double duty.

Do not book - We missed the tour because of road construction . Our drive was 90 min vs the 30 we had planned . If you are late they leave you and will not credit you to reschedule. The tour was going to charge us another 50% to rebook on another day, after already fully paying for the tour. Very disappointing.Terrible customer service, only focused on the $

Do not book! Buyer beware! - Buyer beware! Do not book! Missed the start time due to a huge traffic delay and construction that turned a 30 min drive into 90. Vendor only offered a 50% credit if we booked again for another day, so pay 150% for the same tour! A customer focused vendor would have given us full credit for another day. They want your $.
