Your shore excursion begins with a warm welcome at the Port of Dover, where your private transportation awaits. Choose from a comfortable MPV, a classic London Black Cab, or a spacious 16-seater minicoach to suit your group's size and needs.

We'll start with a scenic walk along the iconic White Cliffs of Dover, offering breathtaking views of the English Channel and, on a clear day, the French coast. We'll capture memorable photos and appreciate the natural beauty of this famous landmark.

Dover Castle

Next, we explore Dover Castle, a fortress with origins stretching back to Roman times, evidenced by the still-standing Pharos lighthouse. Expanded significantly by Henry II in the 12th century, the castle became a powerful symbol of his authority, a deliberate display of power to France. Its strategic location overlooking the Channel made it vital for defense. We'll also explore the castle's network of underground tunnels, crucial during World War II, highlighting its enduring strategic importance.

Throughout the tour, our knowledgeable guide will provide insights into the history, culture, and landmarks we encounter, ensuring a rich and rewarding experience. Comfortable transportation will be provided throughout the 4-hour tour.

Our customers say...

"My husband and I brought our 12 year old grandson to London for a surprise trip. We booked a drive to Oxford & the Cotswolds with Albion Touring prior to our arrival. On the day of departure our driver Chris (also Albion’s owner!) arrived spot on time. From the minute we left the doorstep of our flat Chris narrated our drive and brought the history of London from Roman times alive for all of us but especially for our grandson. In Oxford Chris took us thru the city telling us some of the most interesting tales. He engaged our grandson on his level and was constantly asking after our comfort. We saw several villages in the Cotswolds and upon learning that we were cheese lovers to us to his favorite cheese shop. I needed supplies from the local pharmacy and he carried those for me in the village and even ran them back to the vehicle. He went out of his way to take us to the The Kings Men Circle of Stones. A smaller Stonehenge with fabulous legends and we loved it. If you are considering booking a drive with Albion don’t hesitate. I would do this again and again! "

"If I have to say in the future, I will request Chris. Always cheerful, never showed impatience even with 10 women. Was a gentleman throughout the trip in 90 degree weather"
