London: Private Black Cab Day Tour to Dover Castle

Overview

Dover Castle has kept Britain safe from invasion for almost a thousand years. From the French & Spanish Kings, to Napoleon, to the Axis powers under Hitler, & even into the Cold War, the mighty fortress of Dover Castle has stood strong in the defence of the United Kingdom. Nowhere else in the UK can you see Roman, Anglo-Saxon, Norman, Medieval, Georgian, & 20th-century buildings which chart Britain's military relationship with Europe. From exploring the Norman Castle, to taking a tour of the Second World War tunnels where the evacuation of Dunkirk was planned by Vice-Admiral Bertram Ramsey, you are quite literally following in the footsteps of fate. Starting at your central London accommodation, our knowledgeable driver/guides will drive you to Dover. Once at Dover Castle, your guide will bring the castle to life. Standing on the famous White Cliffs, you will hear the stories of the soldiers who defended this shore for centuries, & you might even catch a glimpse of France!
