About

Discover more about the introduction of Roman Christianity to Britain on this unique fully-guided tour experience which takes you through the heartland of historic Canterbury.

Visit St Martin's church, the oldest church in the English-speaking world, explore the remains of St Augustine's Abbey, resting place of St Augustine and the first Archbishops of Canterbury, and experience the beauty of Canterbury Cathedral, Mother Church of the Church of England. Together, these three historic places form Canterbury's UNESCO World Heritage Site which gained UNESCO listing in 1988 – a must-visit destination.

A guided tour at each stop offers a fascinating insight into the royals, clergy and ordinary people involved in the history, and allows you to explore the stunning architecture alongside the stories.

An tasty sandwich lunch in the wonderful gardens overlooking Canterbury Cathedral is included in your day, offering you the chance to relax and discuss the day with your fellow travellers.

Tickets cost £59.95 per person for the full day's experience with a guided tour at each site, a sandwich lunch with tea and coffee, and guided walks between each church.
