About this tour

Spend a day exploring Kent’s historic landmarks and countryside on a Canterbury private castle and cathedral tour. Known as the Garden of England, Kent pairs grand estates with striking coastal scenery, and this 12-hour outing gives you time to experience both.

At Hever Castle, wander through the Italian Garden, Rose Garden, Tudor Garden, and Long Gallery, or follow paths along the lake. The grounds also feature an English Yew Maze and a playful Water Maze, where hidden jets can soak visitors; bring a towel if you plan to try it. Continue to Canterbury Cathedral, one of the oldest Christian structures in the UK, then take in the White Cliffs of Dover and visit Dover Castle. The tour includes about seven hours at the sites and five hours traveling, with private transportation, pickup and drop-off, bottled water, and parking for the White Cliffs of Dover.

Admission to the three attractions is not included, so plan ahead for entry. Choose this Canterbury private castle and cathedral tour for a flexible way to connect Kent’s gardens, history, and coast in one memorable day.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.00 from 4 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in London
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.8.
