About this tour

Set out from London for a private day trip through the coast, history, and royal landscapes of southeast England. With a driver-guide and private, air-conditioned vehicle, travel first to the White Cliffs of Dover, where you can explore the cliffs or visit 12th-century Dover Castle. The stop lasts about 90 minutes, offering time to take in the scenery before the crowds arrive.

Continue through picturesque villages to Canterbury, a city shaped by centuries of Christian history. Explore its medieval cathedral and the site associated with the murder of Thomas Becket, then head back toward London for a visit to Leeds Castle. Surrounded by a moat, this grand estate was once favored by medieval queens and Henry VIII. Hotel or port pickup and drop-off, bottled water, and local taxes are included; attraction tickets and gratuities are not.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 8 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 7.5. Top 24% in London means it ranks in the top 24% of tours in London by this score.
