Private chauffeur in Canterbury
Seat of the Church of England and the destination of the Canterbury Tales pilgrimage, Canterbury preserves its UNESCO-listed cathedral — the scene of Thomas Becket’s murder in 1170 —, the ruins of St Augustine’s Abbey and medieval lanes crossed by the River Stour. Your private chauffeur in Canterbury handles your transfers from Gatwick, London or the Folkestone Eurotunnel terminal, and your visits across Kent, at a fixed price confirmed in advance.
Around the city, the Garden of England unfolds orchards, vineyards and a chalk coastline. The White Cliffs of Dover and their castle rise thirty minutes away, the Whitstable oyster beds fifteen, Leeds Castle — “the loveliest castle in the world” according to Lord Conway — thirty-five. With a full-day chauffeur hire, your driver shapes the itinerary between heritage, tastings and the seaside.

Experiences
5 experiences with your chauffeur in Canterbury
Beyond transfers, your chauffeur becomes the key to the region — private itineraries, fixed prices, vehicle on standby at every stop.
The cathedral and medieval Canterbury
The mother church of the Anglican Communion, the site of Becket’s martyrdom, the cloister, then the ruins of St Augustine’s Abbey and the Westgate. Your chauffeur drops you at the edge of the pedestrian centre and remains on call.
Dover: the White Cliffs and the castle
30 km south-east, the chalk cliffs guarding the Strait and England’s largest medieval castle, with its wartime tunnels dug beneath the garrison. On a clear day, the French coast appears on the horizon.
Whitstable, oysters and the seaside
12 km north, the oyster harbour that has supplied London since Roman times: fishermen’s huts, galleries and a lunch of native oysters facing the Thames Estuary. Return via the Victorian seaside town of Herne Bay.
Leeds Castle and garden Kent
35 km west, the castle set on two islands in the middle of a lake, home to six medieval queens, then the Sissinghurst gardens created by Vita Sackville-West. A day in the Garden of England.
Kent vineyards: Chapel Down
Kent produces England’s most awarded sparkling wines. A tour and tasting at Chapel Down in Tenterden, then a second estate — Simpsons or Gusbourne — with lunch at the vineyard, while your chauffeur drives.
