Itinerary

Leeds Castle

Explore the magnificent medieval city of Canterbury, considered by many to be the heart of Christianity in Britain. During your tour, you'll have the opportunity to admire Canterbury Cathedral from the outside and visit Canterbury's famous Christmas Market —a perfect addition to your Christmas adventure! Filled with wooden huts adorned with holly and ivy, the market offers delicious sausage sizzles, mulled wine, unique ornaments and festive gifts, and a variety of activities for children. You might even catch some live music—including a sing-along of classic holiday songs! After the market, you can visit nearby shops to stock up on those last few gifts on your list.

White Cliffs of Dover
The tour includes a brief photo stop at England's Gateway, home to stunning white cliffs and a port with over 2,000 years of history. You'll also admire Dover Castle, a prominent filming location in the film "The Other Boleyn Girl" (it was used as the Tower of London in the film!).

Greenwich

As a bonus, your bus will pass through the London borough of Greenwich on the way back. This World Heritage site, overlooking the River Thames, is home to awe-inspiring maritime landmarks and magnificent architectural masterpieces – some of which you can admire from the bus.

The trip is expected to return to London Victoria Station around 6:30 PM.

Frequently Asked Questions

• I purchased a senior/student ticket. Do I need to bring a valid ID on the day of the tour?

  If you purchase a senior citizen or student discount ticket, you must bring your ID on the day of your tour. Otherwise, you may be denied the discount ticket.

• If I am late, will the bus and tour guide wait for me?

  No. The bus will strictly adhere to the boarding time. If you are not on time, you will be treated as a "no show" or asked to make your own way to the next attraction to meet up with your group. Please be sure to arrive at the departure point 15 minutes before your group departure time.

• Are there guided tours at the attractions?

  At most attractions, a guide will accompany you and provide expert commentary. However, Windsor Castle specifically prohibits guides from entering, so you will need to rent a multilingual audio guide inside.

• Is the boarding location inside Victoria Coach Station?

  No, the pick-up point is not located inside the coach station. The pick-up point is approximately a 10-minute walk from the coach station. Please see the map for details.

• How big is the group?

  This is a large bus tour, usually with around 50 seats. Day tours are usually booked until the day before departure, so it's difficult to predict how many people will actually join.

• How long in advance do I need to book?

  To avoid disappointment, the earlier the better, especially during the Christmas season.

• Where do the members come from?

  Group members come from all over the world, so this is a great opportunity for you to make new friends.

• Can you provide the phone number of your tour guide or driver?

  No, due to privacy concerns. However, we will provide you with an emergency number and your booking number on the departure date. If you have any questions, please call the emergency number.

• Do you offer hotel pickup and drop-off?

  Because this is a group tour, we cannot provide hotel pick-up. However, the group pick-up address is in the center of London and near the subway station, which is very convenient.
