A propos de cette activités

Au départ de Londres, votre première halte pour cette visite de Noël est Rochester, qui était autrefois le foyer de l'un des plus célèbres auteurs anglais, Charles Dickens. L'auteur de Chant de Noël vivait à Gads Hill Place, dans les environs, et certains de ses romans se déroulent à Rochester. Votre guide professionnel vous conduira le long de la grande rue victorienne digne d'une carte postale à Rochester et jusqu'au magnifique château de Rochester, qui surplombe le fleuve Medway.

Ensuite, vous vous rendrez à Canterbury, où vous pourrez assister au service de Noël traditionnel avec l'archevêque de la cathédrale de Canterbury, célèbre pour sa magnifique architecture gothique et son histoire qui remonte à l'année 1070. Vous dégusterez ensuite un excellent déjeuner de Noël dans le parc de la cathédrale de Canterbury. Vous aurez ensuite un peu de temps libre pour explorer la vieille ville de Canterbury à votre guise.

Enfin, vous poursuivrez votre excursion vers la côte anglaise de Douvres, où vous pourrez admirer les impressionnantes falaises blanches de Douvres. Les falaises sont le symbole de l'Angleterre faisant face à l'Europe continentale de l'autre côté de la Manche, et elles représentent une protection emblématique.

Worst Christmas Day ever! Confirmed details with the tour operator the day before and received info of where to go to be picked up. Arrived at the gate in the bus station and waited over an hour while the buses were loaded by hotel location. The final people left were herded to the bus and we were not on the list, the 'tour guide' told us we were at the wrong gate even though the details above the gate matched the info we were given for the tour, he then held up his hand, turned his back and would not assist us further. After wandering around the buses and asking various company staff we eventually found the correct bus but there were no seats left together, we had to ask different travellers if they would mind sharing with others so my husband and I could sit together and finally six rows away my daughters were able to sit together. At Canterbury Cathedral we discovered we were seated in a back section and could not actually see or view the service, only hear it, at no stage were we informed about this. Christmas lunch at a Canterbury pub turned out to be a smorgasbord at a Holiday Inn! We were the second sitting and had to wait over half an hour to be seated. The table cloths were not changed and had food stains, they ran out of glasses for the water (didn't want to drink out of the jug!) and the smorgasbord looked like a herd of wildebeest had stampeded through and we were expected to eat the leftovers. We were unable to order drinks as they had no glasses and had to purchase drinks in bottles. There were no Christmas bonbons although the first seating had them. We purchased chocolates and chips from the vending machine to eat in the bus for lunch. The tour guide kept explaining to people he had nothing to do with the lunch, he was just employed for the day. The stop at Rochester was fine and we enjoyed wandering around the town, but this was the only enjoyable part of the tour.
