As we always do when we take these walking tours, we learned a lot about the historic city area that we would not have learned on our own.

Our guide was knowledgeable and greatly expanded our understanding of Canterbury's long history. She made the historical tour fascinating and humorous at times. She made an effort to make sure everyone could hear her. She took the time to answer questions and point out relevant sites for future exploration, i. e. tourist information, restrooms, places to eat, etc

Lovely lady but kept forgetting the information she was trying to deliver unfortunately.
We learned more about her family members and their achievements than Canterbury!
