Acerca de esta actividad

Suba a bordo de un autobús en la estación de autobuses Victoria y relájese durante el trayecto de 1 hora en dirección sur hacia el Castillo de Leeds. Construido en 1119 como fortaleza normanda, el Castillo de Leeds se encuentra situado en una isla con lago.

Disfrute de una visita privada a este famoso castillo antes de que abra sus puertas al público. Descubra cómo ha cambiado la propiedad de manos y su transformación a lo largo de los años: de ser el palacio real del rey Eduardo I en el siglo XIII, a la residencia de la primera esposa de Enrique VIII, Catalina de Aragón, en el siglo XVI; hasta llegar al último propietario privado, la heredera americana Lady Baillie, a quien se le atribuye la extraordinaria conservación y redecoración del castillo.
Siguiendo al guía, explore las galerías, los dormitorios, la capilla, el salón para banquetes y los patios. Después, tómese su tiempo para recorrer los jardines circundantes, pasear por el lago y perderse en el famoso laberinto.

Vuelva a subir al autobús para iniciar un recorrido costero hacia los acantilados blancos de Dover, unos acantilados de caliza que dominan el Canal de la Mancha. Como aprenderá, los acantilados son elementos simbólicos de Gran Bretaña, ya que fueron el punto de entrada de las invasiones de guerra en el pasado y conforman el primer paisaje de Inglaterra que ven los viajeros procedentes de la Europa continental.

Nos dirigimos hacia los acantilados de Canterbury. Aquí podrá visitar la Catedral de Canterbury, una de las iglesias cristianas más importantes del mundo declarada en la actualidad Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO. Inmortalizada por Geoffrey Chaucer en Los cuentos de Canterbury, esta impresionante iglesia gótica tiene aproximadamente 1.700 años.

Después de una visita guiada de la catedral, disfrute de tiempo libre para explorar el casco antiguo y tomar el almuerzo en uno de los muchos cafés o restaurantes (no incluido en el precio).

Continúe su viaje hacia el barrio londinense de Greenwich, famosa por su historia marítima y por ser el lugar de nacimiento de numerosos gobernantes ingleses de la Casa Tudor. Hará un recorrido a pie en el que aprenderá sobre la historia de Greenwich, su arquitectura, palacios y parques.

Llegue al centro de Londres al atardecer y suba a un barco para disfrutar de un relajante crucero al atardecer en el que podrá admirar las vistas de la puesta de sol a lo largo del río Támesis. Tenga su cámara a mano para fotografiar las principales atracciones de Londres, incluidos el Tower Bridge y la Torre de Londres, con el maravilloso horizonte de la ciudad de fondo.
Llegue a Embankment Pier donde termina la excursión.

The tour is comprehensive. Worst part was driving out of London in traffic. There was not enough time to enjoy the gardens at Leeds Castle. Going to the new RAF memorial at Dover was a plus. Canterbury was lovely even though the Cathedral is having repairs done. Boat ride at the end was a nice way to end the day. Our tour guide was very educational.

Wonderful day trip. Our tour guide shared many interesting stories along the way. I only wish we could have spent more time in each place!

There are many things that I enjoyed about this trip, but some that I did not. All the sites that we visited were enjoyable. Especially nice to see the Battle of Britain Memorial. Don't think that this was mentioned online when booking. The tour guide was very nice. Some things that could be improved upon: The departure point at Victoria Coach terminal is very crowded, worse than an airport terminal with people rushing to be the first to board. While we had early entry to Leeds Castle, the solo visitors were right on our backs. Thought that our early entry would give us time to enjoy the castle without interruptions. Thankfully we had a small group. Since there was so much to do, there was no time for a leisurely lunch. The sandwiches at the Battle of Britain memorial leave something to be desired. Bring snacks. I was expecting the Thames river cruise to be later since it was supposed to be a sunset cruise. While enjoyable, the boat moved fast. I am glad I did another river cruise the prior day, which was a more casual pace. Overall it was enjoyable and I am glad I did it.

The first stop at Leeds castle was the highlight for us. Just a great setting and neat castle still being used for different rental events. Although working with scaffolding on the front. Another 20 mins would have been perfect and we could have squeezed in a gondola ride around the castle. Just barely cut time too close to leaving for us to risk. Gift shop over priced. Same knights decor 50 pounds more than tower london shop for same merchandise. Canterbury was nice but not as impressive as I expected. However, we had seen a lot of cathedrals and abbey's over 2 weeks. I probably wouldn't have cared to see it if not for all the Canterbury tales reading growing up. Would have been fine skipping though in hindsight. Also scaffolding work on it. We actually didn't try to rush and shop in town here, but sat down and had one of the nicer lunches/meals of our vacation. Also stopped at a WW2 memorial for good views of the white cliffs of Dover. Not too long here but you dont really need more than 20 mins. Overall we weren't wowed by the white cliffs, but they were pretty. Greenwich is a pointless stop other than catching your cruise back. I'm sorry, but dont call it a cruise. Misleading from what you expect. It's a large water taxi. Carries a lot of people inside the boat. Not allowed on deck. Imagine an interior twice as large as a big airplane. Your sitting in rows with no great views and it can get a little warm. No commentary either. The windows aren't great for viewing as they are really dirty. It literally is a water taxi. We had a much better experience a few days earlier with one of the hop on hop off water taxis that allowed you to sit on deck, cleaner, and pointed out sights. Cruise is a definite let down here. Only plus was got off around 6:30 near london eye and able to book tickets to ride for 8pm. The final comment is on the guide. She was nice, but my least favorite guide over the two weeks here and just too soft spoken with not much personality. Not nearly as educational as other guides. Voice could put you to sleep on the bus. Overall, wish I had this day back for something else.

I took this tour with two kids, 7 and 14. It wasnt their favorite but I thought it was well done. The boat ride at the end was anticlimactic. We got off the air conditioned bus to stand in the hot sun for 45 minutes waiting for the water taxi, which was entirely indoors and muggy. Leeds castle was beautiful and the cathedral tour was time well spent.

I was very happy with this tour. It was just the right pace with the perfect amount of sightseeing. Leeds Castle was beautiful. The tour of Canterbury Cathedral of the time for lunch in the town was lovely. Going to Dover and seeing the white cliffs was really special. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and patient. The boat ride from Greenwich was a fun way to end the day. I highly recommmend this tour.
