“Anna and Jake were excellent!! Anna provided wonderful history on what we were seeing. Also, she was very clear on what we would do, and where and when we would meet back.

“An absolutely amazing experience and what made it 5 star was the best tour guide ever Pete "The Dragon"! we thoroughly enjoyed the history lesson and all the places we were able to see. The highlight was Canterbury with its quaint town and mind blowing cathedral, truly spectacular. Also, the walk thru Greenwich was a bonus along with the river ride along the Thames River. I have to say that Mario our driver was equally amazing 👏. If you're thinking about this tour, do yourself a favor and book it because you won't find a better one”

“I had gone with a group of 10 women from my church and let me tell you the tour was more than expected. Everything was very well organized. The Leeds Castle had a lot of WOW factors to it must go again with my husband. Dover was beautiful my husband and I will try to go there for our anniversary next year. Canterbury was amazing the guests of a wedding got caught in a rain shower, but everyone was smiling. The walk to Greenwich was a bit of a walk but when you get to the top of that hill that overlooks all of London, it was well worth it.…”
