It may have been 150 pounds for two of us, but it was relaxing to get door to door service after a long flight. Well worth it and our driver was delightful.

if that comes to too much money you can also use the train. less simple, less money probably not much in it time wise.

We also used Canterbury Airport Transfers. Not sure about the web site, email, or telephone number.

Our driver drove safely, was helpful loading luggage, and commented on various things along the way. The car was clean, roomy, and well maintained. We would not hesitate to use the same service again.

We've found that using a service based at the destination works best as they seem to know the best routes to take.

As a side note. I was on this tour in 2024 and enjoyed it. Tour of the reconstruction on the cathedral was outstanding. Also there was a fish and chips shop just outside the gate to the left. There was a Vietnamese Pho restaurant just up the street.

This is another vote for Canterbury Airport Transfers. Sheldon was wonderful to communicate with and the price was fair. After flying from California, it was such a relief to get from Heathrow to Canterbury quickly and safely. Driver was personable and helpful. I would use Canterbury Airport Transfers again in a heartbeat.

I took the train from Paddington station after 4 nights in London to Canterbury. This is a wonderful tour! I agree the reconstruction on the Canterbury Cathedral was fascinating! We had a tour with the Senior Stone Mason who took us to the top of the cathedral to see the restoration up close and personal!
