Depart early in the morning as we make our way to the historic city of Canterbury, one of England’s most charming medieval destinations. Famous for its magnificent Canterbury Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the city is full of history and character. Enjoy free time to wander through its cobbled streets, admire the beautiful medieval architecture and explore the independent shops, cafés and picturesque corners of this historic city. We then continue to the popular seaside town of Margate, situated along Kent’s beautiful coastline. Known for its sandy beaches, colourful seafront and traditional British seaside atmosphere, Margate offers a wonderful mix of coastal charm and quirky attractions. Enjoy free time to stroll along the promenade, explore the charming Old Town with its independent shops and cafés, or visit the iconic Dreamland amusement park, known for its vintage rides and nostalgic atmosphere. For something a little different, you may wish to discover the fascinating Margate Caves, a network of historic underground chalk tunnels featuring beautiful murals and artwork. Alternatively, simply relax by the beach, enjoy the sea air or explore the town at your own pace. After an enjoyable day exploring two of Kent’s most distinctive destinations, we board the coach for our return journey to London.
Departure Dates
Currency
In England the currency you will require will be Pounds (GBP/Sterling). Star Tours advices passengers to exchange any spending money for their holiday before they actually travel. Whilst on tour it is very inconvenient to change money and most places we will be visiting will not have ATM machines or accept credit/debit cards.
We also advice our passengers to keep some change in coins on them whilst on tour as using toilets in many parts of Scotland is not free.
Distances
An important point to note whilst on a touring holiday is that some long journeys are unavoidable especially when travelling from city to city.
It is advisable passengers carry necessities that they may need for the day such as water, dry snacks, cameras etc. with them in their hand luggage.
For this tour it should be noted that the travel times are extensive on this tour.
Weather
Passengers can be well prepared by ensuring they are carrying appropriate clothing, footwear and accessories. Passengers should also be aware that during the winter months most of the sightseeing will be in the dark as, in Scotland, the day becomes dark very early during winter. Passengers should consult with Star Tours at the time of booking if they are unsure.
Wheelchairs
We will accept light weight manual wheelchairs for travel, subject to them being capable of being stowed in the luggage hold of the coach. It is also essential that a family member is also on the tour to push their wheelchair. Star Tours will also request hotels for suitably equipped rooms; however, this is only on a request basis and cannot be guaranteed. It should be noted Ben Nevis is not fully accessible for a wheelchair user. Some part of Edinburgh will have cobbled streets, which may not be suitable for wheelchairs.
