“Paulie and Mario were great. The sites were wonderful and full of history. Be prepared for a long day, with only a short time to visit each location and long lines for Windsor Castle. We spent most of our time waiting to enter the castle and had to rush back to the bus in time. Also, you will need to take some time to get something quick to eat. I would recommend bringing food and drinks with you.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,820 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $145.63

Kent day trip from London with Leeds Castle, Canterbury Cathedral tour, and White Cliffs of Dover, by Wi-Fi coach with Vox headphones.

“I booked this trip specifically for the cliffs of Dover knowing Canterbury and Leeds were bonus stops we could enjoy as well. This was our first anniversary and was my husband’s only request was to see the white cliffs of Dover. Needless to say the description of the tour vs the very brief stop on Dover very far away from the cliffs with MINIMAL photo opportunity was a gross disappointment. This should NOT lead purchasers to believe they will truly get to see the cliffs at this price! I will say that our tour guide was knowledgeable but we felt rushed all day and the bus ride was so very…”

Guided day tour from London to Dover Castle, White Cliffs, and Canterbury Cathedral, with included admissions, free time, and coach comfort.

“Having taken many Viator tours, I have many positive experiences with wonderful guides that helped create great memories. This tour was however a disappointment. While the itinerary was attractive, the tour guide was barely engaged and very light on communication of logistics. A lot of confusion simply because of her lack of communication. She failed to do "headcount" and unknowingly left 1 person from the group behind and had the bus take off to the next stop. That individual (don't know if he got lost at the Dover Castle or was late; have no information) needed to get in contact with the tour company to arrange for the bus to…”

14.Oxford, Stratford, Cotswolds & Warwick Castle Tour from London

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 756 reviews · 10 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $106.10

London tour by luxury coach to Warwick Castle, Shakespeare’s Birthplace, Oxford and Cotswolds, with guided walks and optional ticket entry.

“We loved Warwick Castle and Stratford-upon-Avon. Oliver was a great guide - very personable and knowledgeable. Abdul was a great driver - got us to and from safely and comfortably. Just our personal preference, and the only reason this is a four star instead of five star review, but Oxford was a waste of time. I would much rather have had that time split between Warwick and Stratford, so we could have spent more time in each. All in all though a great tour that allows you to relax and not worry about getting yourself to each location.”
