Highlights
-
Leeds Castle - Located in Kent,
âThe Garden of Englandâ, lies Leeds Castle, a beautiful medieval castle frequently referred to as
âthe loveliest castle in the worldâ. With 500 acres of landscaped parkland to explore and impeccably maintained gardens to enjoy, itâs easy to see why this beautiful castle was a favoured castle of King Henry VIII, who gifted it to his first wife, Catherine of Aragon.
In its 900-year history, the castle has been home to no fewer than six queens and served many functions, including acting as a garrison, prison and the stately private home of its most recent owners. Learn all about this and more as our expert tour guide brings its fascinating story to life.

Fun day trip of unique locations - This was my first time on an Evan Evans tour, and I was very impressed. We started at Leeds Castle and had time to go through the rooms and explore the grounds (definitely check out the garden). I didn’t expect to like the White Cliffs of Dover as much as I did - it’s an important site of WW2 with amazing views. We ended at Canterbury Cathedral which had incredible architecture and I had lunch at Po’Boys in the quaint town. Zohir was our driver and he navigated London traffic like a pro. Cameron was our guide and I can’t endorse him enough - he kept up the energy and was really entertaining. There was a lot of driving on this “tapas tour” but without a car, I believe this is the best way to see all three sites. Factoring in the attractions, the transportation, and everything we learned from Cameron, I’d say this was well worth the price and I really enjoyed my experience.

My England day/ trip - Date: 25/09-27/09
I went to England with my school it was very fun but a long drive.
We went on the first day to Canterbury I learned a lot of things there and it was very beautiful.
They had a lot of shops in Canterbury and we even took a school photo there, it was very fun,
I bought nothing there but on our other days I bought cute things, I loved the old buildings in Canterbury and the little pond it was very cute and I also took a lot of picture’s with my friends on my digital camera.
If you want to learn a lot of things about England and if you like walking, a lot of old buildings and shopping then you NEED to visit Canterbury.
I loved the experience and the learning about Canterbury I would love to come back to England and to Canterbury!
My rating: 5/5

A toe in Dover - Lesley was a superb guide. Gave a great and complete experience. Is very passionate about the sites. Got us to explore outside the experience while at Dover. Sam the driver kept us safe and made the trip extremely comfortable. Adapted to the changing weather by adjusting the pick ups.

Unexpected surprise - Unexpected beauty. The grounds were lovely! Most castles are rich in history but feel dark. This one felt light & airy.

PERFECT TOUR - Evan Evans Tours perfect for visiting Leeds Castle, the Cliffs of Dover and Canterbury Cathedral. Very nice Guide and prepared in explanations. Seen everything quietly, without hurry and anxiety but of course you have to respect the required times. The beautiful Leeds Castle, both inside and out. The cliffs are worth seeing and the view is beautiful. The cathedral is majestic and very beautiful also the city with all the pedestrian area.

Day trip to Leeds, Dover and Canterbury. - Canterbury was the highlight of the trip. Beautiful cathedral and wonderful town. Phil did an outstanding job as the tour guide providing just the right amount of narration that provided information without over doing it. Kudos to Marlon for a smooth and comfortable ride.

Great trip - Would have liked to see more of Canterbury and been able to go to Dover Castle but Crissy was very knowledgeable and Jerry was a good driver. Only problem was the rule of no hot food or beverages allowed on the bus being sprung on us at the last minute. Would've been nice to not sirens a bunch of money only to have to throw it away.

Lovely day out to trio of sites - This was a lovely day out, weather perfect. Ruth our guide was knowledgeable and a good guide but also allowed time for us to wander on our own. A well-planned full day.
The trio of sites we covered just right for time frame with enough time for decent breaks and Absorbtion time. Loved all 3 sites we visited.

Disappointment with stop for Dover cliff - The stop for Dover Cliff was a disappointment. We stopped at a far away wharf to see the cliff behind a highway. We booked this tour particularly to see the cliff. The tour time is one hour short of specified. Not sure if this has anything to do with the stop.
