What visitors say
Excellent tour from Elena, she kept us engaged and entertained even in the cold weather! Would recommend this tour - we learnt so much and got a flavour of the historical significance of Canterbury. Also loved learning about the etymology of words related to Canterbury, fascinating!

Our Canterbury tour with Shawn (unsure of the spelling of her name) was a memorable experience. Having lived in the area for 40 years, she was incredibly knowledgeable and shared insights at a perfect pace. We joined the 11:00 tour and arrived early to take a few pictures, pleasantly surprised by how few people were around on such a beautiful Saturday morning. However, we did face some challenges during the tour. When we started at the meeting place, it was difficult for us to hear Shawn due to a person singing in the square. Throughout the tour, whenever she turned to face whatever she was talking about, we found it hard to hear her clearly. With only 12 in our group, it would have been great to have better acoustics for her engaging narratives. Overall, despite the hearing difficulties, Shawn’s passion and knowledge shone through, making it a worthwhile experience in the beautiful city of Canterbury.

Our guide, Julian is a retired history teacher. He added so much insight and was so good at embellishing all the history. He had us spellbound. I’ve never had a guide who was so knowledgeable and passionate about his subject. Thank you for a memorable afternoon!!!
