About this experience
Dover Castle and Canterbury Cathedral is a full-day guided tour from London, covering two of England's most historically significant sites alongside the White Cliffs of Dover. Departing by luxury coach from Bus Stop R on Tooley Street in Southwark, the tour runs for approximately 12 hours and is managed throughout by an Anderson Tours tour manager. Canterbury Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury since the 6th century, anchors the first half of the day, with time to explore the city's cobbled streets and medieval canals. Dover Castle, built under Henry II in the 12th century, follows, offering a commanding position above the English Channel and a history that stretches from Roman times to the Second World War, including its role in the Dunkirk evacuation of 1940. Visitors tour the cathedral interior and the castle grounds before finishing at a viewpoint over the White Cliffs, the chalk headlands that have marked England's southern edge for centuries. Entrance fees for both Canterbury Cathedral and Dover Castle are included in the booking, as is the return luxury coach journey from central London. Food and drinks are not covered and should be budgeted separately. The tour is not suitable for wheelchair users. Cancellation terms apply up to a specified date before departure, with full details confirmed at the time of booking.
