We understand you’re considering joining one of the Walking Tours offered in Canterbury, lasting approximately 180 minutes and costing between £130 and £130. This is a fantastic way to explore the city's historic heart!

Given this will be primarily an outdoor walking tour, it’s crucial to prioritise comfort. We recommend wearing sturdy, comfortable shoes – trainers or walking boots are ideal for navigating the cobbled streets and uneven pavements of Canterbury. Layers are key as the weather can change quickly; even on a sunny day, you might experience cooler breezes.

You should also bring along a water bottle to stay hydrated during your exploration. A small backpack will be useful for carrying essentials like a light jacket or umbrella, and perhaps a snack if you get peckish.

Finally, don’t forget sunglasses and sunscreen if it's a bright day – protection from the sun is always important when spending time outdoors. Considering the tour length, bring something to keep you entertained during downtime too - a book or downloaded audio.
