Detailed Itinerary

The journey, in full

Your day begins at Leeds Castle, once home to Henry VIII and his six wives. Often called “the loveliest castle in the world” and nicknamed “the lady’s castle”, this Norman fortress sits on two small islands in the middle of a lake and is surrounded by a sprawling estate. Explore the chapel, galleries, courtyards, and banqueting hall, and enjoy the beautiful grounds, home to wildfowl and black swans. Its picturesque setting and rich history make it one of England’s most admired castles. Next, travel to Dover to take in breathtaking views of the famous White Cliffs. Continue your journey to Canterbury, a city steeped in history and immortalized by Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales. Visit the magnificent cathedral, admire its intricate architecture, and hear the story of Thomas Becket, whose legacy inspired countless pilgrims over the centuries. (Canterbury Cathedral entry included if entry option is selected) Your final stop is Greenwich, home to exquisite parks, gardens, and historic architecture. Explore the world-famous Cutty Sark, the fastest sailing ship of its time, and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of this riverside town. As your day concludes, cruise along the River Thames from Greenwich to Embankment Pier, passing by historic London landmarks, where your tour ends.
