Hi, amazing that they received such a high score. Likeable, if not charming, eloquent, polite young people as guides / engine of small rowing type boat. The stories are good, well told etc, if somewhat superficial, but entertaining and would suffice for most non UK residents. However, it can not hide the fact that one goes up and down the... More

When your cruise ship docks in Dover, England what is your next course of action? Stay aboard ship? We opted to take a daytrip to Canterbury, the legendary city made famous by Geoffrey Chaucer, Christopher Marlowe, and Thomas Becket among many others. Efficient, timely transportation to Canterbury was provided by the excellent British rail system and we were whisked away... More

We managed to fit this in after trying to fit the old city and the Cathedral in two days. It was good fun with a humerous guide and it was historic. The trip is short in distance but still takes a good 40 minutes and is well worth it. We had a real mixture of nationalities on our boat but... More

We enjoyed this short boat trip, being rowed by an exuberant student who clearly loved his job on a nice sunny Sunday morning. There's quite a bit of ducking under the low bridges but this is a very tranquil and pictureque experience. Worth the £8.50

I can confirm all the previous 2 reviewers have written. Matt was our rower/guide, friendly and full of information and jokes!

Such a nice friendly group of people organising this experience. Interesting commentary and fascinating history. Well worth doing especially on a sunny day
