Furthermore, we have designed this special tour to also include a visit to Dover Castle and experience a guided tour of the UNESCO World Heritage site of Canterbury and its grand cathedral, all before delivering you back to your accommodation in London for the evening.

White Cliffs of Dover Private Tour Itinerary

White Cliffs of Dover

Your private driver-guide will collect you from your accommodation in the morning and you will begin the scenic drive to the coastal town of Dover in Kent to reach the world-famous cliffs.

As an expert in the history and significance of the cliffs, your guide will discuss the fascinating stories that have become attached to the cliffs over the years. Of course, as a seafaring nation, the cliffs were often the first and last view of their beloved England that sailors of this seafaring nation would see on their naval voyages.

The cliffs have also played a role in Britain’s military history and are now symbolic of peace and hope, as exemplified by Dame Vera Lynn and the World War Two song named after the white cliffs. Many of our guests have had relatives that fought in the wars and the cliffs are of particular significance to them for this reason and your guide will be on hand to explore this part of history with you.

Upon arrival, you can take the opportunity to explore the incredible breathtaking views on offer along the cliffside walking path. Reaching a height of 350 feet (110m) the sheer face of the cliffs is truly an unforgettable sight to see in person.

Guided Tour of Dover Castle

Dover Castle, England

Founded all the way back in the 11th century, Dover Castle has a fascinating history unlike any other. Your guide will reveal why it was known as the ‘keys to England’ as they discuss the role Dover Castle played throughout history, from the era of the Roman invasion, through Saxon and Napoleonic times, all the way up to its current standing.

England’s largest military castle, Dover Castle played a key role in the defense of this island, especially during WW1 and WW2. For the military enthusiast, your private guide can show you the wartime tunnels including a visit to those from where the evacuation of Dunkirk was commanded.

Optional Visit to Leeds Castle

Leeds Castle, England

If military history is not to your taste then we can bypass Dover castle and instead visit Leeds Castle in Kent.

The loveliest castle in the world, Leeds Castle has been the private property of six of England’s medieval queens; a palace used by Henry VIII and his first wife Catherine of Aragon; an elegant early 20th-century retreat for the influential and famous; and in the 21st century a world-class visitor attraction.

Featuring award-winning gardens, incredible falconry performances, live shows, and a maze. Leeds Castle is definitely fun for all the family.

Canterbury Cathedral & Town

Canterbury Cathedral, England

See the World Heritage Site of Canterbury Cathedral, known as the mother church of the Anglican Communion worldwide, and marvel at its Gothic architecture and awesome stained-glass windows

Immerse yourself in the historic town center and travel back in time with your private guide as you walk within its centennial walls and cobbled streets.

Your guide will be happy to propose an idyllic tavern or restaurant for you to enjoy some local produce before you begin your journey back to London for the evening.
