Canterbury, Dover and Greenwich plus Christmas Lunch overlooking the White Cliffs of Dover - Xmas Tour

Event location: Premium Tours. Ongoing event.

The Tour:

After your morning pick up you begin this festive tour with a visit to Canterbury. The ancient city of Canterbury has been the centre of Christian worship for almost 1,700 years. Its greatest treasure is the cathedral, infamous as the setting for the brutal murder of Thomas Beckett in 1170. When Henry II snapped "Who will rid me of this turbulent priest?", four of his knights rode to the Cathedral and sliced Becketts head off. Canterbury became the centre of one of the most important medieval pilgrimages in Europe, immortalised by Geoffrey Chaucer in The Canterbury Tales.

Whilst at Canterbury you will have a chance to enjoy the Christmas services in the cathedral (subject to cathedral service timings). We then head for Dover where you will enjoy a traditional Christmas lunch which includes a traditional roast turkey with all the trimmings which is followed by delicious Christmas pudding. Soak in the fabulous views of the White Cliffs while enjoying your Christmas lunch. In the afternoon we visit Greenwich for a walking tour before returning back to London.
