Good small group tour with a great driver. - Love the small group tour of just 16 people instead of the big busloads of people, and our driver Len was awesome. he kept us informed with interesting stories of the places we visited and English history. Canterbury Cathedral was definitely worth seeing (you cab get your tickets online while in the van on the way), and the Cliffs we beautiful with a nice little lunch stop in Deal in between.

The tour was a great way... - The tour was a great way to get out of London and experience some other sites not too far away. Our tour guide, Jamie, was friendly, gave us lots of good history of different sites as we drove out, and provided a lot of background about each of our stops. We had just enough time at each stop to hit the highlights and enjoy the area.

Fabulous small group tour with Len! - Fabulous Day on our small group tour of Canterbury, Deal and the White Cliffs of Dover! Len was the absolute best guide (& driver) we’ve had while visiting London. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, informative, patient, easy-going and overall fun to be around. We had plenty of time to visit the Cathedral in Canterbury, lunch in Deal and walk around the White Cliffs of Dover (with Len’s guidance and photo skills). We suggest seeking out small group tours with Go Tours and especially with Len!

This is the Dover tour you should go on. - Our guide Len was great as he provided a lot of history and info along the route, was funny and personable, and a good driver! The small group was nice so easy to get off the mini-bus and get moving at each location. Perfect day!

A great day in some really iconic places - We had a great time on our trip to Canterbury and the White Cliffs. Kevin, our driver was really great - witty and full of love for England and what a great country it is. The very nature of these sort of trips is that you won’t be anywhere near as much as you want to be. One of the reasons we chose this trip over some of the other options for this area is that it chose two places, Canterbury and the White Cliffs instead of trying to squeeze in Dover Castle as well. Yes, we would have really loved two more hours at Canterbury [the Cathedral is an amazing, historic, deeply spiritual place] and we would have really loved at least another hour at the White Cliffs, but then we wouldn’t have been able to do this trip in a day.
All that said, we thought we had a really good feel for every place we went. Too, we really enjoyed our lunch in Deal. Yes, it’s a really little down that doesn’t really have anything historic, but we had a lovely, restful hour at lunch on the beach. It really helped the day not feel like a hectic, jammed up day.
To look across the plains of Dover and see the Cliffs, honestly they really are worth the hype.
In short, we had a great day! Go Tours does a really great job in these sort of trips. We really appreciated the small bus/small group. The drivers are always nice, engaging and professional. If you want to get out of London for a day, Go Tours is a great choice and this is a great trip!

Great experience❤️ - It was undoubtedly a wonderful experience. Kevin, our driver, was punctual, as well as very good company: nice and helpful, along the way informed us about places and anecdotes. The stages after the sunny Canterbury were dominated DA heavy rain and interrupted roads that slowed down the schedule, creating a bit of a hurry, but that didn't take much away from the day.
Deal was an unexpected gem in which we left our hearts. The best fish and chips we've ever eaten, cooked with love, and recommended DA Kevin that we greet with so much affection!
PS Thank you for your post travel advice😉

Canterbury and Dover tour - We did this tour with Liam as our driver/guide. He was excellent and added so much to the experience. Interesting commentary and a really thoughtful selection of music etc to go with the different parts of the tour. Thoroughly enjoyed the day

I really enjoyed the... - I really enjoyed the tour, but the Cliffs of Dover need more time to explore. I think they should give more time to that spot and reduce the amount of time they give at the first stop.
