Canterbury: Private 2hr walking tour with a Qualified Local Green Badge Guide
Canterbury is steeped in history. The city can trace its roots back to the Celtic Tribe, the Cantiaci, who were here before the Romans. The city developed after the Roman invasion during the 1st Century AD, and it became known in Latin as Durovernum Cantiacorum - “Stronghold of the Cantiaci by the Alder Grove”. Through the centuries since the Romans left in around 410AD the city has witnessed many events that have inexorably altered its character & influenced its charm. From the start of the Roman occupation in the 1st Century, to the arrival of the Papal emissary Augustine in 597AD, to the murder of Thomas Becket in 1170, to the dissolution of the monasteries by King Henry VIII, to the bombings of World War 2 - we will show you the many facets of this beautiful & intriguing city! This is a walking tour that will show you the most important & interesting parts of the city of Canterbury. The tour involves mostly flat terrain, but this is an ancient city with uneven cobbles in parts. However, it is mostly accessible for those with needs. It doesn't include entry to the Cathedral (or its precincts) or St Augustine's Abbey as these need separate tickets at extra cost. We can begin & end our tour at a location of your choosing (the Buttermarket is usually the most convenient) & we can build the tour around your interests. Alternatively, we can suggest a tour that covers the most interesting & historical parts of the city.
