2.Official Canterbury Guided Walking Tour – 14.00 Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 214 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $20.80

Official Canterbury walking tour with a Green Badge guide, 90 minutes of medieval lanes and Cathedral Precincts, starting at Butter Market.

“Canterbury is a really nice town to visit. We were a little disappointed in this walking tour because the man who led us on the tour did not speak loudly enough for us to hear him and he often spoke ahead as we were walking so that nobody could hear him. There was a lot of walking on the tour and perhaps the description should mention that as we are all in our late 70’s and would not have chosen this tour had we known it was not all in flat surfaces without slopes.”

We made our wedding rings during our time with Annie, a memory neither of us will ever forget 😍 if we lived closer, I'd probably end up with an entirely new jewellery collection! The workshop was relaxed and informative and we'd do it again in a heartbeat ♥️”
