A historic river tour is one of the best things to do in Canterbury, and it is a different activity to do with your friends or family. The river cruise takes a trip along the River Stour which is guided by storytellers who bring the city’s rich heritage to life!
Guided river tours have actually been a favourite pastime for over 80 years and it’s loved by many as you get to discover a unique perspective of the city.
“Your boat tour offers an unparalleled perspective of the city, giving you a unique vantage point to admire the grandeur of the city’s landmarks and the city’s legendary figures, its thriving medieval trade, and the events that shaped its identity.”
Whilst doing a fun activity you also get to see the best landmarks and attractions in Canterbury. It’s a win-win, you get to explore and discover the city as a new student.
