Dover cliffs - We enjoyed the scenery. The guy was very knowledgeable and showed us a lot of nice sites. We had plenty of time to spend the different spots. It would’ve been better if he would’ve been able to tell us where we got better pictures of the Canterbury Cathedral. Everything else was top-notch

Whirlwind eight hour tour of Kent county near the Dover cruise port. - Matt, our driver and guide, was very informative. We drove by several historic homes, castles and points of interest. He had handouts for the notable locations at Canterbury, Sandwich and Deal so we could choose what to see during our free time. We got a taste of the history of the area from the Jurassic to the present. The Battle Over Britain monument was very moving. Definitely need to come back to see the county in depth.

Don't miss this tour!!! - We just completed a tour with Matt for the Dover & White Cliffs Tour; Canterbury, Coastal Towns & Castles Experience. Everything about this tour was absolutely perfect. Matt was extremely accommodating and very knowledgeable about the area. It was an absolute pleasure to be with him for a full day. We saw and experienced numerous things. Matt even brought props for us to make things more tangible. He played classical music in between explaining everything that we were passing. It was definitely one of the best tours we've been on. His enthusiasm for the area really glowed through to his tour. Do not want to forget to mention, that he has great driving skills. Many roads are narrow and he navigated them effortlessly.Way to go, Matt, keep up the good work!!

Dover & White Cliffs Tour; Canterbury, Coastal Towns & Castles - Matt gets an A+! I would highly recommend the tour if you are interested in not only a review of thousands of years of southern England's history, but delivered by a knowledgeable teacher.

Amazing experience! Totally worth it! - Matt was amazing! You can tell he’s a teacher. He’s so knowledgeable and entertaining! He was also super patient with my parents as they are chronically slow and late. He made the experience one to remember! Thank you so much, Matt! Your jokes are great!

A Most Excellent Adventure - It was a great day with Matt. We were first off the ship and there he was greeting us with with a big smile and a warm welcome to Dover. He was well prepared with artifacts, pictures and a treasure trove of stories. Often tour guides makes you feel as though you’re on a forced march. With Matt we felt privileged and that he was there for us. He was sensitive to our schedule and attention span…the narrative was.thorough but not overwhelming. He took us to fascinating places off the beaten path that you just wouldn’t get to on the larger tours. I wish all guides were as good as Matt.

This tour was good - Our tour guide Matt was very nice and entertaining. He brought us to a war museum, showed us the white cliffs of Dover and off the beaten path areas of Dover. The only thing we didn't like was being dropped off in a little town and finding where he parked, felt very rushed. A tour should be carefree and not have to worry about find the bus........different from where you were dropped off at.

More time to explore towns needed - Dover England  Canterbury 1 hour Sandwich 45 minutes Deal coastal town 30 minutes Uncomfortable bus Too much stopping along the side of the roads to talk- suggestion drive and talk which would mean more time to wander amazing towns like Canterbury, Sandwich and Deal. These stops were too short with a lot to see. Not really any time to stop for lunch if you wanted to experience the towns. The smaller bus meant we could go along cute country roads which was a huge positive.
