Canterbury Cathedral, Garden of England & Medieval Kent: Private Day Tour

Canterbury: Church, Crown and Chronicles.

Travel deep into British history on this full-day private tour to Canterbury, the cradle of English Christianity. Leaving London in the comfort of a modern London Taxi, you will explore a city shaped by Romans, royalty, and religious conflict. Once in Canterbury, the focus is a detailed 4 to 5-hour walking tour. We navigate the narrow, cobbled streets, ancient city walls, and the serene river paths.

The centerpiece of our day is the magnificent Canterbury Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the destination for countless pilgrims. Your Green Badge guide will vividly recount the dramatic story of Archbishop Thomas Becket's murder in 1170 and explore the architecture that spans centuries. We will also visit the ruins of St Augustine’s Abbey and St Martin’s Church, the oldest church in continuous use in the English-speaking world.
