Our extremely knowledgeable and entertaining guide showed us interesting historical details on the old buildings in Canterbury that we had previously passed without even noticing. A really good way of getting the most out of a visit to the city. Highly recommended.

My husband and I have been to Canturbury before, however after taking the 90 minute walking tour with Linda Parkinson, who was most knowledgeable and witty, we came away with a much greater understanding of the history of Canturbury and also knowing a few of the local legends and folklore. Very much recommended.

Our tour guide Maureen was friendly and shared some funny anecdotes along the way. This was also a good opportunity to view the Cathedral precincts and have the intriguing underlying history of Canterbury explained. It was good value for money and helped to uncover out other points of interest. Would recommend to a friend.

A group of 4 of us were taken on this tour by the older man (sorry, not sure of his name) who was very funny and knew everything there is to know about Canterbury. The main sites were covered, and he gave us useful ideas about other things to see and do. 90 minutes is a good length, we saw... More

Went here in November 2012 for a side-trip from London. When I got into town via train, it was cold, pitch black, raining and windy, so I hunkered down in my hotel and hoped for better weather in the morning. Didn't disappoint, glorious sunshine and bright skies the next day, and I stumbled on this very reasonably priced tour starting... More

We love walking tours with local guides, and this tour was exceptional. We were part of a group of 8, and the pace and explanations were perfect. And, the tour was very reasonable and timed out to exactly 90 minutes; just in time for a refreshment and a visit to the Cathedral. The guide really made Canterbury "come alive."

The tour lasted 90 minutes and Lyn was our guide. She spoke clearly and informatively and really helped us appreciate this lovely city. We were only here for a short while so didn't take advantage of the discounts. If you intend going to The Canterbury Tales go on the walk first to get some money off. This walk pointed out... More
