I did the combination boat and bus tour. I am not a fan of boats, so the short harbor tour was fine for me and it was cute seeing the little kids "pilot" the boat. I got a few decent shots of the cliffs but not a great view. The bus tour wasn't terrible - but not brilliant either, it... More

A pleasant chug around Dover harbour in a 1935 boat with lots of other people. Good views, convivial crew, long enough to be interesting and short enough to leave you lots of time for other things. You can see the white cliffs, but you don't go very near them. Pleasant enough and worth doing.

I would have thought that we could have seen the cliffs from the boat tour clearly and not within the confines of the harbour as this is what the name of the tour implies. We felt conned by that and also because the boat only goes round a small part of the harbour. You can go into the cabin bit... More

A very reasonable 40 minute chug around Dover Harbour with an informative narration of the White Cliffs, Castle and other points of interest. Children get a chance to steer the boat and get a certificate... There is also a bus tour option, but I haven't taken that as I live locally...

We were planning a day-trip to Dover in order to visit the White Cliffs country and came across this website: http://www.doverwhiteclifftours.com. With some reluctance (since it is not a particularly attractive website) we decided to try them and we were not disappointed at all. The main thing to point out is that the people are very friendly and professional and... More

My wife and I visited Dover recently and we bought our tickets after coming across a kiosk on the promenade. We then walked over to the nearby marina where the 'Southern Queen' is based but we arrived early for the 2pm tour so we enjoyed a cup of tea and chat with Richard and his wife who apparently had the...

We booked this tour online at the Dover Tours website and had personal correspondence with the owner, Richard who was to pick us up at our hotel in Canterbury. Richard picked us up on time in his comfortable van and took us to Deal and Sandwich and then on his boat tour of the Dover Harbor. He is also the... More

We were on a small group tour off a cruise ship. We were supposed to be on two small vans but instead were put on one large van-group of 24. Our "guide" was Tim. He gave all of us the impression that he would rather be elsewhere. When we asked if he would accompany us into Leeds Castle, he said,... More

I booked a boat and minibus tour with this company for 14:00 on 15September 2011. I called the day before to verify the tours were happening. We left Dover Castle early to be at the tour on time. Five minutes before the scheduled departure a man came off the tour boat and said all tours were cancelled. No explanation just... More
