Enjoy a full-day private tour of Leeds Castle, Canterbury, Dover, and Greenwich.
Explore what was once a Royal residence for six of England's medieval queens, a palace for Henry VIII, and a retreat for the rich and powerful. Begin with a private viewing prior to the castle opening to the public. Visit the chapel, the galleries, courtyards, and the banqueting hall before taking time to enjoy the setting and wildlife, which includes wildfowl and black swans.
Head to Dover, a historic port with a magnificent 12th-century castle with the famous White Cliffs. Be guided to the ancient city of Canterbury, the former center of Christian worship for almost 1,700 years and at the center of Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. Walk in its cathedral, the setting for the brutal murder of Thomas Beckett in 1170.
Finally, board a ferry boat to reach Greenwich, and take time to take a look at the Cutty Sark, the fastest sailing ship of its time, gently cruising back to the center of London as evening nears.
