Overview
Canterbury Walks is led by a local historian with years of professional guiding experience giving every guest the perfect blend of academic knowledge and genuine local passion. Your route takes you beyond the obvious landmarks and into the hidden stories most visitors never hear, from a surprising Ian Fleming connection to the dramatic three-part story of Thomas Becket's assassination told across the very streets where it unfolded. We keep groups small so every guest gets a personal, immersive experience rather than being lost in a crowd. And with evening departures available, you'll explore Canterbury's extraordinary medieval streets at their most atmospheric and captivating.
