Your shore excursion begins with a warm welcome at the Port of Dover, where your private transportation awaits. Choose from a comfortable MPV, a classic London Black Cab, or a spacious 16-seater minicoach to suit your group's size and needs.

We'll start with a scenic walk along the iconic White Cliffs of Dover, offering breathtaking views of the English Channel and, on a clear day, the French coast. We'll capture memorable photos and appreciate the natural beauty of this famous landmark.

Dover Castle

Next, we explore Dover Castle, a fortress with origins stretching back to Roman times, evidenced by the still-standing Pharos lighthouse. Expanded significantly by Henry II in the 12th century, the castle became a powerful symbol of his authority, a deliberate display of power to France. Its strategic location overlooking the Channel made it vital for defense. We'll also explore the castle's network of underground tunnels, crucial during World War II, highlighting its enduring strategic importance.

Kent Battle of Britain Museum

Finally, we visit the Kent Battle of Britain Museum at Folkestone. Immerse yourself in a recreation of an RAF squadron base during WWII. You can even try a flight simulator! The museum houses the world's largest Battle of Britain collection, featuring memorabilia and artifacts from over 700 crashed aircraft, offering a poignant reminder of this pivotal battle.

Throughout the tour, our knowledgeable guide will provide insights into the history, culture, and landmarks we encounter, ensuring a rich and rewarding experience. Comfortable transportation will be provided throughout the 4-hour tour.
