Duration: 7 hours, lunch not included

A 2-hour coach drive will take you to London and meet your guide. Enjoy a sightseeing tour around one of the greatest cities of the world, the capital city of the United Kingdom. If you are new to the city, this day out is a great way to immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of “The Big Smoke”, covering the main attractions in a grand sightseeing circuit. With its iconic red buses and friendly “bobbies”, magnificent churches and down-to-earth pubs, our excursion will take in the key attractions including Buckingham Palace, London Bridge and Westmister Abbey. Get some snaps of the neo-Gothic Parliament buildings located majestically on the banks of the River Thames and see the landmark clock tower of Big Ben. You will also have free time for lunch (not included) and world-class shopping opportunities. The return to the port will be unguided.

Look forward to a day out in medieval Canterbury, one of England's most venerable cities. This is the setting of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Canterbury offers a unique blend of medieval atmosphere and modern amenities. The cathedral dates back to the 12^th century and your guide will provide a historical overview of the details on this famous edifice, and you can then look around inside. You will have free time at your disposal to explore this lovely city at your own pace before the tour concludes by returning you to the port and your ship. We recommend you take your camera to take some snapshots for your family album.

Upon leaving the ship you will enjoy a scenic drive through the rural Sussex countryside, passing pastoral farmland, picturesque villages and small country towns on the way. As you drive through Tenterden, you might like to note the broad high street that is lined with shops and houses mostly sporting their original 16^th- and 18^th-century façades. You will then reach Rye, which was once surrounded by the sea and is now a thriving market town supported by fishing and pottery-making. You will enjoy a short visit to the Heritage Centre to view the beautifully-crafted model of the town. You will have some free time to explore the delights of this medieval town and discover Rye for yourself – and at your own pace. It is well worth taking your camera.
