About this tour
This private half-day excursion threads through East Kent's quieter corners, steering clear of main roads to reveal villages and coastal towns that shaped medieval England. Starting from Dover, you'll explore Sandwich—a remarkably intact 14th-century town whose street layout has barely shifted in 600 years—before continuing to Deal and Walmer. The itinerary concludes with unobstructed views of the White Cliffs. A traditional cream tea, served partway through, breaks up the exploration. Your guide navigates the route by private vehicle, and headsets ensure you hear commentary clearly despite the car's hum.

What to expect
You'll be collected from Dover Cruise Terminal, your hotel, or a nearby address and settle into a private vehicle with your guide. The route prioritises narrow country lanes over trunk roads, with planned pauses at particularly photogenic spots for pictures and perhaps a quick look inside a village church. Sandwich occupies the bulk of the afternoon—a guided walk through its compact centre reveals how little the town plan has changed since medieval times. You'll then push eastward along the coast, stopping briefly in Deal and Walmer before reaching an elevated vantage point overlooking the White Cliffs. The cream tea service slots in comfortably during the itinerary.
