Your Day Trip Itinerary

Departure from London

Your adventure begins with a departure from central London at the scheduled time. Travel in comfort aboard an air-conditioned coach as we head southeast towards the charming town of Leeds, located about 60 km (37 miles) from the capital.

Leeds Castle

Often referred to as “the most beautiful castle in the world” by Lord Conway, Leeds Castle is a true gem. Set on two idyllic islands in the heart of Kent and surrounded by 200 hectares of stunning parkland, the castle offers a glimpse into centuries of history. During our guided tour, you’ll explore the castle’s grand interiors and hear stories of its royal residents. Don’t miss the opportunity to sample a glass of mead, a traditional honey wine enjoyed by King Henry VIII himself.

Canterbury

Next, we’ll journey to the medieval city of Canterbury, renowned for its breathtaking cathedral. Canterbury Cathedral is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, with intricate details dating back to the 12th and 13th centuries. Learn about the tragic murder of Archbishop Thomas Becket, who was assassinated by four knights in the cathedral in 1170. After exploring the cathedral, enjoy some free time to stroll through Canterbury’s charming streets and grab a bite to eat.

The White Cliffs of Dover

Our journey continues with a scenic drive along the coast, offering views of the iconic White Cliffs of Dover. Rising 350 feet (120 meters) above the sea, these chalk cliffs have stood as a symbol of England’s resilience for centuries. As we pass through the outskirts of Dover, you’ll also catch a glimpse of the Battle of Britain Memorial, dedicated to the airmen who defended Britain during World War II.

River Thames Cruise

Our final stop is Greenwich, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its rich maritime history. Here, we’ll board a sightseeing cruise and sail along the River Thames, passing some of London’s most iconic landmarks. Marvel at Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, and St. Paul’s Cathedral as you glide along the water. The cruise concludes at Thames Embankment, marking the end of your 10-hour adventure.
