About this tour

Leave Dover’s cruise port behind for a private journey through Kent’s castles and cathedral. This 8-hour Dover private tour takes you from the harbor to historic landmarks, with pick-up and drop-off and an air-conditioned vehicle for the ride.

Visit Dover Castle, a fortress built by a Norman king more than 1,000 years ago, then continue to Canterbury Cathedral to see its striking blend of Romanesque and Gothic architecture. The route also includes the White Cliffs of Dover and Leeds Castle, whose setting amid water makes a memorable finale. You’ll spend about 5 hours and 30 minutes visiting sites, with 2 hours and 30 minutes set aside for travel and lunch. Entry to the listed attractions is included, so you can focus on the places and their stories.

With an English-speaking guide and private transportation, this Dover private tour offers a convenient way to make the most of a port day. Set out from the ship and discover some of Kent’s best-known sights.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • 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. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
