Canterbury Historic River Tours

Canterbury Historic River Tour

Sunday 6th September

Canterbury is a charming historic city in England renowned for its stunning cathedral, which is

a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a masterpiece of medieval architecture. The city offers a

rich blend of history, culture, and picturesque streets lined with quaint shops, cafes, and medieval

buildings. 

About the River Tour

Experience this fascinating Canterbury visitor attraction and discover the city’s unique history

from a different angle on one of our guided river tours. Sit back and relax as our tour guides

take you under the King’s Bridge, one of the oldest working road bridges in Britain, up towards

the hidden serenity of the Greyfriars’ Island, once the home to the Franciscans, one of Canterbury’s

many religious orders.

As you journey back downstream, you pass by sites such as the sixteenth century Old Weavers’

House as well as our replica ducking stool, an infamous part of England’s long and turbulent history.

Past the Marlowe Theatre, the newest addition to Canterbury’s skyline, you are treated to

such views as the old Blackfriars’ Monastery, now a proud extension to the prestigious King’s

School, which connects onto the scenic and quiet Solly’s Orchard.

Upon arrival in Canterbury we will head straight to the boat tour. We have 3 slots booked at

11.10am, 11.20am and 11.40am. The tours last around 45 mins. After your river cruise you

will have free time to explore Canterbury.
