You will begin the day in Greenwich with a photo stop at the historic sailing ship the Cutty Sark.

The ship is over 150 years old and the fastest clipper ship of its time. You can walk in the shadow of this icon of London and capture a great photo, while your guide tells you of the crucial role Greenwich has played throughout British history, before leaving London and following the old Roman road to Kent. 

Dover is a gateway to England and here you will get to see the incredible White Cliffs of Dover first hand, and on a clear day you will be able to see right across the sea to France. After this stop you'll take a short drive from the cliffs to Dover Castle.

Dover Castle is a very iconic castle and a breathtaking sight.  You have the option of entering the Castle for a couple of hours to explore (entry not included).

Choosing to go inside will open up the history of the fortress where you can climb the Great Tower, walk the walls, explore medieval interiors and dive deep within Dover's White Cliffs to see the drama in the secret wartime tunnels.

On this small group tour you travel in a small touring bus with a passenger capacity of 16 people. Other “standard” coach tours from London use full size touring coaches with around 50 passengers, and on a few tours over 70.

On a small group tour you will receive a personalised guiding service. The driver/guide is able to gauge where the interests of the passengers line, tailoring commentary, sometimes itinerary to those interests And of course you have much better access to the guide to ask questions and be more informed.

Where possible, the tour will venture off the main roads down the country lanes into the countryside where the large tour groups cannot venture.
