Beautiful day!
Me and a group of friends decided to explore the stunning countryside of Kent. Our guide was David. He has been doing this for many years, and it shows! The overall knowledge, lots of interesting and funny facts made our trip great . David has a huge experience, was very accommodating and easy to talk to. On top of all that it was like the only clear sometimes even sunny day of our trip. the Castle is amazing, Cathedral very impressive, some stunning views at the White Cliffs also. We couldn't be happier! Thank You

Great time
We had an excellent time with Darius whose warmth, good humor and knowledge turned a day that started rainy and grey into a positive experience. He provided us helpful suggestions about getting around our destinations and arranged easy pickups and drop offs. When we return to London we will always contact him for our trips.

Very very angry with misleading description on GetYourGuide
DO NOT HIRE LONDON COUNTRY TOURS if you think you're getting a guide along with a driver. We paid almost $1100 for just the two of us to see the Dover cliffs, Leeds Castle and Canterbury instead of taking the ship's excursion because we wanted to see all three. We ended up with a very nice driver, Alam, but he was no guide at his own admission, even though the description on GetYourGuide states they're all ex-history teachers. The "brand new mini van" had very uncomfortable seats and two of them were back-facing! Most large tour vans have a microphone for the driver to make it easy to hear him. This one didn't. We offered a reduced amount to David, supposedly the company owner, because we really wanted to see the sites but he offered less than a $300 reduction. We refused and were returned to the ship where we were fortunate to find Artur's Taxi to take us at a quarter of the price and much more information.
Response from the operator: Hi. Let me answer this for you. This was a professional scam. She booked a tour through get your guide who charge 30% commission. This tour was advertised as a driver guided tour. It was not advertised as a driver and a blue badge guide. It clearly states this in website. This was one of the rudest persons we have picked up. My driver drove 100 miles to collect these clients. We have done this tour on many occasions. She was very rude to the driver who has over 6 years experience..shouting and treating in his face. A very gentle person. He said let me take you to the white cliffs. And we can talk. Explaining he is a driver guide. She was shouting all the way. She was treating that she would ruin me and my company. Terrible behaviour. She said she was a professional doctor.? He took them to a beautiful spot.said calm down. Then let me know what you require. On her return. He turned on the recording to tape her reply. She kept treating that she would ruin me. Unless we accepted to do the tour for 400 dollars. A disgraceful behaviour and offer. This was a complete scam. She told the driver and showed him. She cancelled the tour and myself and the driver would not be paid. I asked the driver to return her and husband to the ship. She kept treating to ruin my reputation. Never ever known this before. Was very angry that we would not accept her offer 400 dollars..which is 300 pounds. This wasn't possible. Hope this helps. Terrible behaviour. I did offer her a discount to keep the peace for 650 dollars. She refused. She never paid the driver for taking her to the white cliffs. I can't accept bad rude behaviour to myself and one of my drivers. I would not accept this from a so called professional person. Hi. Its strange that a main problem was that we never had a seperste blue badge guide. Yet in the end. She went with a taxi..with no knowledge or history. And did not take the offer I made. Also I phoned the cab company. They charged her 600 pounds. 800 dollars. Unfortunately. This was a scam that did not work..theating behaviour..to try and scare the driver. Trying to put a stain on his character. For the record. Alam was a school teacher history.geography with under privileged children. He is on a tour today. The lady has already contacted me and said thank you for sending Alam. We do not tolerate rude behaviour from anyone. This is why I asked him to take back to the ship. Sorry. Rude and a professional scam.

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private driver tours to Leeds Castle, Canterbury, White Cliffs: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Private driver tours to Leeds Castle, Canterbury, White Cliffs cost?
+
Prices start at $795 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private driver tours to Leeds Castle, Canterbury, White Cliffs take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is Private driver tours to Leeds Castle, Canterbury, White Cliffs worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 30 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private driver tours to Leeds Castle, Canterbury, White Cliffs?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private driver tours to Leeds Castle, Canterbury, White Cliffs suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private driver tours to Leeds Castle, Canterbury, White Cliffs?
+
Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private driver tours to Leeds Castle, Canterbury, White Cliffs start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
