Day Tours To Canterbury & Leeds Castle
Escorted Tours From Central London That Often Visit Dover Too

One of the classic day tours from London by coach operators combines Canterbury with Leeds Castle and the White Cliffs of Dover.
These are the main tourist icons to the south east of London, all other tours go west or north from London. The region in question is the county of Kent, an area called the garden of England.
The coaches used by tour companies are full sized luxury touring coaches like the coach pictured right.
Hotel pickups from most of the major hotel areas of London are included first thing in the morning feeding into the main departure point at Victoria.
Tours return to London early evening.
