It lasts for approximately ten hours. Board the luxury coach and journey to Leeds Castle, located 8 km southeast of Maidstone in Kent. The castle stands on islands surrounded by lush grasslands in a lake formed by the River Len. Stop at the newly restored Gatehouse and grab a fresh glass of mead before leaving for the historic city of Canterbury. If you are a literature enthusiast, you likely know about the city’s inspiration behind many world-renowned works.

Relish a delectable lunch while you head to Dover, whose cliffs have faced and withstood several invasions throughout history. Enjoy the breath-taking views from the coast then make a quick stop at Dover Castle. Did you know, this castle was a replacement for the Tower of London in mega Hollywood movies like Avengers: Age of Ultron? Cool, right?

Afterwards, you will make your way to Greenwich. It is home to the Old Royal Naval College designed by Sir Christopher Wren and holds many remarkable stories. Finally, your day comes to an end on a relaxing boat ride on the River Thames. Admire iconic landmarks like the Tower of London and the London Eye before alighting at Embankment pier.

Immerse yourself in history

Your guide is experienced and well-versed about all the major attractions. In Leeds Castle, you get a private tour where the guide tells stories from a time when the castle was a sanctuary for royalty, away from the capital’s bustle. Leeds Castle has stood on this site ever since 1119. Learn more about how it was only a stone stronghold Rover de Crevecoeur built as a military post when Norman forces were taking England by storm.

Marvel at the stained-glass windows and Gothic architecture of Canterbury Cathedral, the oldest cathedral in England. Discover its historical significance before touring the spectacular cliffs of Dover. The rich naval history of Greenwich, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, leaves every visitor awestruck. Indulge yourself in further history about the backgrounds of the beautiful landmarks as you pass by them on the boat ride.

You can also choose to round off your experience with a walking tour of the capital. Opt for a Royal Walking Tour to learn about the royal family, or a Beatles Walking Tour if you love music.
