3.Dover & White Cliffs Tour; Canterbury, Coastal Towns & Castles

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 51 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $227Top rated

Spend about eight hours with guide Matt or Mark in a small minibus from Dover Cruise Terminal. See the Battle of Britain Memorial, White Cliffs views, Canterbury, Sandwich, Deal, quiet Kent villages, and famous Ham and Sandwich signs. Expect lively commentary, visual props, walking, and a flexible cruise-port schedule.

“We did enjoy Matt as our tour guide. He shared LOTS of information and is very knowledgeable. However, we did not get 1.5 hours in Canterbury to have time to tour the Cathedral or 1 hour in Deal to see that castle. Instead (my opinion) too much time was spent at the Memorial, Kent and walking streets in Deal. There were so many great food vendors, but instead it was suggested we get a sandwich at the local "7/11" store and not even in Sandwich.”

4.Private transfer from Dover to London hotel or airport

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 14 reviews · 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 50 minutes (approx.) · from $224

You’ll leave Dover Cruise Terminal in a private vehicle headed directly to a London hotel or airport. A driver should meet you in the arrival hall with your name, help with luggage, and match pickup to your ship’s arrival. Carlos is one driver praised for clear communication, though pickup timing and contact can vary.

“I had ordered the wrong car and we had lots of luggage, our driver made it all fit. This way we did not have to wait for another to come pick up.”
