Private Tour of Canterbury Cathedral and Medieval City.

About this activity

Explore  the World Heritage Site of Canterbury with an expert local guide. I'm a fully qualified "Blue Badge" Guide, with two degrees and have lived in Canterbury for over 20 years.

This is a private walking  tour lasting approximately three hours. Follow in the footsteps of Thomas Becket and the pilgrims made famous in Geoffrey Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales". Let me take you to the centre of it all with a private tour of Canterbury Cathedral. Here at first hand, you will see, amongst its many delights, the most beautiful stained glass panels going back to the 12th Century. Include a stop at one of Canterbury's many charming cafes.

Canterbury is less than an hour away by train from St Pancras Station in London.
