Private Day Tour from London

A fairytale castle and a medieval cathedral city.

Discover the best of Kent, the Garden of England, in one day. Explore Leeds Castle, often called "the loveliest castle in the world", then step back in time in the historic city of Canterbury. This private 10-hour day tour takes care of all the travel, so you can simply relax and enjoy.

Your private tour begins with pickup from your Central London hotel or residence at 9:00 AM, arriving at Leeds Castle at around 10:15 AM. Set on two islands in a lake, the castle has been home to six medieval queens and King Henry VIII. Explore its beautifully furnished rooms, wander through the gardens and parkland, see the black swans on the moat, and find your way through the famous yew-tree maze. There's time for lunch at the castle, too (about 2.75 hours in total).

At around 1:00 PM, travel 45 minutes to Canterbury for about 3.5 hours of sightseeing. Visit the magnificent Canterbury Cathedral, one of the oldest and most famous Christian buildings in England and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Then enter through the ornate Christ Church Gate and wander the cobbled medieval streets, full of timber-framed buildings, independent shops and cafés, with time to relax beside the River Stour.

At each stop, your driver will wait with your belongings while you explore and take photos. At around 5:15 PM, we'll begin the return journey, arriving back in London at around 7:00 PM, with drop-off at your original pickup point or another Central London address.

Times are approximate and may vary with traffic. Leeds Castle and Canterbury Cathedral may close at short notice for private events and services, so please check opening times before booking.
