Tours

Why not take the 90 minute guided walk with a Green Badge guide and learn some of the fascinating history of the City, hear about some of the many famous people who have lived and worked here - including Christopher Marlowe, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Somerset Maugham, Mary Tourtel (of Rupert Bear fame) and Joseph Conrad. Tours are available in most European Languages.

Historic River Tours

If you need a rest, you could try a relaxing river tour, seeing Canterbury from a completely different perspective. The River Stour provides views of the city's historic buildings and natural scenery which would be as familiar to our ancestors as they are to us today.  Each boat is rowed by a Historic Tour representative who provides a light hearted historical commentary along the route. Or what better way to end a busy day's sightseeing in the city than by pre-booking an evening candlelit tour?

Ghostly Tours of Canterbury

The hour-long tour sets off at 8.00pm every Friday and Saturday and is an entertaining mix of local history, humour, folklore and tales of the supernatural.

Canterbury River Navigation Company

Take a relaxing punt trip along the River Stour. See hidden scenery of outstanding natural beauty, which surrounds our ancient and historic city, whilst being chauffered by an experienced boatman.

Canterbury Carriages

Canterbury Carriages are a breath of fresh air in a modern world. Take a leisurely carriage ride and see our city streets by the medium they were designed for - horse and carriage.
