Canterbury Hidden City Tour

The Tour is based on the History of the City, and its architecture it also covers several aspects of English Language, and the origins of phrases we take for granted.
The duration is around 2 hours, and it's a gentle walking pace around the city. Canterbury's history stretched back over the millennia, from pre-roman settlement to the present day city bustling with visitors, students, and locals alike. The footsteps of Pilgrims and parsons are etched into its fabric and the tour takes you in their footsteps. The tour is fully accessible for anyone in a wheelchair or with mobility issues, which given my work with the elderly I feel it's important to be inclusive.
As it's a walking tour, on city streets, just be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes and be sure to dress for the English Climate, i.e. on a sunny day bring an umbrella, just in case.
I am very pleased to announce that the book to accompany the tour is now available to download in 'Kindle Fire' Format or in 'Paperback' format from Amazon worldwide. A link will be provided in your confirmation email.
I look forward to showing you around my beautiful city.
It makes a perfect souvenir too.
