On a cold chilly afternoon our guide maintained the overall interest of the group through stories relating to our party’s interests. Would certainly do this again - too much to take in in one go! Thank you

Kate was an excellent guide. She know the history of Canterbury extremely well and she did a great job packing in as much info as we could get int he one hour we had. She also is genuinely kind and we enjoyed her company greatly in spite of the cold, dreary weather.
