Itinerary

  • Canterbury Cathedral

    Step inside 1500 years of history to the sight of the very first cathedral in England. Here your guide will explain the story of how a dispute between a King and an Archbishop ended in chaos and the assassination of Thomas Becket in AD 1170.

    45 minutes

  • Dover Castle

    After a morning in Canterbury, we take a short drive through the majestic Kent Wealds to the South-East coast of Britain, where we stop for a visit to Dover Castle. This magnificent fortress boasts the largest keep in the country, and offers wonderful views of The English Channel from the White Cliffs. Aside from this, Dover has a magnificent exhibit on Operation Dynamo, where British and French Troops were rescued from the shores of Dunkirk in 1940. Here you can learn about the build up and preparation of this brave intervention.

    3 hours

  • The White Cliffs of Dover

    What could be more of a symbol of British identity than the White Cliffs of Dover?! Once romanticised through the words of Vera Lynn, The White Cliffs of Dover served as a message of hope and strength through some of the darkest hours of World War II. This is why we take you to the Battle of Britain Memorial, where you will not only be able to admire the cliffs but pay your respect to 'The Few' that fought to defend the country against the German Airforce.

    30 minutes

  • Chilham Village

    We finish the day with a drive through a quaint country drive into The Kent Down AONB. Here we stop at the delightfully untouched village of Chilham, with a beautiful church and surrounding Tudor Framed houses.

Fascinating tour

Published on Apr, 2025

The day trip to Norfolk Castle, Canterbury Cathedral and the town itself was excellent. Our guide, Richard, was incredibly knowledgeable about history across many centuries and it was fascinating to learn just how important Norfolk Castle was from Medieval times to the 20th century. A stop at the Battle of Britain memorial along the English Channel was great as well.

Wonderful Private Tour to Dover, Canterbury, and Chilham

Published on Mar, 2025

Our private tour to Dover, Canterbury and Chilham was amazing! Oz was our tour guide and was personable, genuine, and fun to be around. He provided historical information and context regarding every stop on the tour. We learned so much, including origins of many phrases in English we use all the time. There are so many benefits of a private tour, including tailoring the schedule to your wants, abilities and needs. Without reserve, I recommend Tailored Tours!

Great tour!

Published on Jul, 2024

Our guide Richard was the best we had across numerous guided tours. Dover was unexpectedly special, the Cathedral was spectacular, and Leeds was really unique, with a Downton Abbey quality. The tour worked great for little kids through seniors. A terrific day.

Sam was fantastic. He was not only very knowledgeable about the tour subjects but he also has extensive experience with the mechanics of a tour (ie, he changed our tour sequence so that a partial afternoon closure of the Cathedral did not affect our experience.) His vehicle was spacious and comfortable and he gave us an excellent lunch recommendation. We’ve taken many tours in many places and Sam is tied for our best tour guide ever.

Truly “Tailored” Tours - A Wonderful Company

Published on Jun, 2023

I cannot even begin to explain how grateful my family and I were having found such an amazing company to do some private tours with. My parents don’t get around too quickly these days, and my mom broke her foot right before our trip and had to use a wheelchair last minute. We were really worried about not being able to keep up with a tour. Thankfully Tailored Tours accommodated us in every way possible and put my mind at ease. Sam, who did all the booking/communication, was simply wonderful. He answered all of my endless questions, listening to all my concerns and created the perfect days specifically for us and our unique circumstances. “Tailored” Tours is right! I had such a good experience booking our first tour that I decided to book a second, and I’m so glad I did. We were lucky to have Oz as our guide who was simply phenomenal. He was so knowledgeable and kind, we truly enjoyed his guidance throughout our first tour so we requested him for our second! (Although I’m sure all the guides that work for this company are great!) I was so appreciative of all the ways in which Oz helped to accommodate my parents during our trips, it made it so much easier for them. He really went above and beyond. Overall Tailored Tours provided us with such unforgettable experiences that we will treasure always. Stress free and so easy to work with, I’d recommend them to everyone, and I’ll certainly work with them again if I ever get the chance. Getting to venture out of London without dealing with all the logistics was such a treat, worth every penny. We toured Dover/Canterbury on our first trip and Bath/Lacock/Castle Combe on our second - I highly recommend all of those locations! Endless thanks Tailored Tours!
