Canterbury – Day Tour

Uncover the Treasures of Canterbury: A Day Tour

Embark on an enriching journey to the historic city of Canterbury, a UNESCO World Heritage Site nestled in the heart of Kent, England.

Canterbury is one of the most beautiful and historic cities in England. The medieval city centre bustles with famous name stores and exclusive boutiques while the picturesque side streets are home to smaller specialist shops, pubs and restaurants.

UNESCO has granted world heritage status to part of the city, including St Martin’s Church, St Augustine’s Abbey and the Cathedral. The Norman cathedral still dominates the skyline as you approach Canterbury; giving 21st century visitors the same sense of awe as their medieval counterparts.
