If your visit to Canterbury is for anything other than a quick half day visit to Canterbury Cathedral its well worth taking a guided walking tour.
The walk will give you a great background to the history of Canterbury from its beginnings to modern day. The walk covers all that is worthwhile in the city centre.
Its a great first item on your agenda, giving you orientation, background and an opportunity to sound out a local guide with no commercial bias of the attractions on offer for you to visit later. You'll hear and see things not in any guide book too.

Canterbury
Historic River Tour
Perhaps a good accompaniment to the walking tour is the historic river tour. This tour may well be pointed out to you during the walking tour. It certainly gives another perspective to the historic city of Canterbury.
As you wander down the pedestrianised High Street you will often come across a crowd by Kings Bridge, crossing the River Stour. This is the starting point for the Canterbury River Tour, a very popular and off beat experience.
Unlike other river/water excursions you may take you are put into a small boat with a handful of others and your guide. No motorised boat here, your guide is also your power source and will row you along the River Stour at a stately pace taking many opportunities to stop and admire. The river has had a historic impact on Canterbury and there is much to see.
Its one of those off beat, one off experiences that has proven to be a hit for years and years. The tours leave every 15 to 20 minutes taking around 40 minutes between April and October.
