White Cliffs of Dover & Canterbury Private Tour Itinerary
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 well as their beauty the cliffs are famous for historical and military reasons. They were often the first and last view of the UK that sailors had when setting off or returning from war, and of course, during World War 2 the guns positioned here were the front line of the nation’s defense.
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. When you make your way to the old Victorian-era lighthouse (constructed in 1846) you will be able to see shrapnel scars from the conflict embedded in the structure.

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.
Canterbury Cathedral & Town
