About this activity

Canterbury

This tour takes you through the beautiful Kent countryside to Canterbury Cathedral where you will attend the Christmas “Sung Eucharist” service, which is often graced by the presence of the Archbishop of Canterbury. The line of succession from Augustine has seen 104 Archbishops uphold this prestige.

White Cliffs of Dover

After the service you will have traditional Christmas lunch in Dover, before viewing the famous White Cliffs, the gateway to England! See Dover Castle, a key film location in The Other Boleyn Girl, which saw the castle transformed into the Tower of London where Anne Boleyn was imprisoned.

Greenwich

Afterwards, visit historic Greenwich, famous for its maritime past. Dominating the waterfront, the Old Royal Naval College was designed by Sir Christopher Wren. Greenwich is an outstanding example of 17th century Baroque architecture.

Christmas Lunch

After the service in Canterbury Cathedral, you will then sit down and enjoy your festive traditional Christmas dinner, soak up the festive atmosphere and enjoy a hearty three-course lunch with a glass of wine and a choice of tea or coffee to finish.

A very busy day for the bus tour company, being Christmas Day, not much is open in London and not much public transport. We were collected at our hotel which was a great start to our Christmas Day away from home. We were taken back to the bus depot, and there were so many cues for various bus trips, we were just amazed. We cued for what seemed like ages, but were finally on our way, on the right tour! We arrived in Canterbury having a short walk to the Cathedral from our bus. We arrived at 10 to 11 in time for the 11am service. This was the most beautiful thing to do on Christmas Day - the service was just lovely, being taken by the Archbishop!! After the service, we had a short walk around the outside of the church and back to the bus to go to our next stop, Christmas Lunch! This venue was so busy with other bus loads of Christmas tourists - we were all in a very small room, which was rather a shame, but the buffet Christmas lunch was extremely delicious! We all decided not to be Christmas grinches, and enjoy our lunch, which we thoroughly did! It was wonderful that this lunch facility was even available to us on Christmas Day! We then boarded our bus for a very enjoyable trip to Dover, which was just beautiful. We had time for photos and a walk on the beach to collect a few shells! Our trip back took us across the road from our hotel, which was a perfect ending to our Christmas Day! Thank you for a lovely Christmas Day!
