Overview

You will be welcomed into small minibuses with no more than sixteen guests that can get into and through the 'Olde Worlde' villages where large coaches cannot. We will curate the day bespoke around your needs and wishes rather than shoehorn you in like sardines where you may see little more than the freeway! After your free-time in Canterbury, a city that has seen Christian Pilgrims since 1170 we drive through the stunning Stour Valley past vineyards, bluebell woods, and the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that is the Kentish Downs. We stop for photographs at the start of villages then collect you at the further end often where you will walk downhill. The 'Garden of England' reveals bucolic rolling countryside past quintessential 'chocolate box' cottages and ancient churches until we reach Leeds Castle, often described as 'The most beautiful in the world'. A moated castle perched on two islands set in 500 acres of glorious parkland dating back to the 12th century it is unique.

Very understanding and thoughtful

Published on Jul, 2024

Due to an unexpected issue (cruise ship not able to get to Dover), I called less than 24 hours prior to our tour, and Matt responded very promptly and graciously issued a refund. Thanks for understanding. We will definitely book adventures through Britannia Coaches in the future!!

Matt, our tour guide, is excellent. Thank you! I thought we were going to see inside one of the castles, but I understand time did not permit it. I would have preferred to cut other sites to actually see the inside of the castle.
