CANTERBURY HISTORIC RIVER TOURS :
FLYING THE FLAG FOR KENT
ONE OF CANTERBURY ’ S FINEST FEATURES IS THE TRANQUIL RIVER STOUR , CALMLY WENDING ITS WAY THROUGH ITS HISTORIC CENTRE . ON THE BANKS OF THE RIVER , ONE CAN FIND A SMALL COMPANY THAT EXEMPLIFIES THE PASSION AND ENTHUSIASM THAT SETS KENT APART AS A DESTINATION .
CANTERBURY HISTORIC RIVER TOURS offer historic guided tours of Canterbury from the unique perspective of the river , combining an enjoyable light-hearted commentary with outstanding views of natural scenery . The 2016 season has once again seen them recognised through the awards and accolades they have earned . This year the company became a finalist in the national Visit England Awards for Excellence 2016 , in which they placed in the top five tourism experiences in the country . This is a particular achievement considering the small size of the business ; they were indeed the minnows of the competition , up against some true giants of the travel trade !
Most impressively , at the end of the 2016 Season the company was announced winner of Luxury Travel Guide ’ s European Awards 2017 , where they were announced to be Europe ’ s Unique Tour Operator of the Year . European acclaim is certainly an incredible achievement for such a small business . It is a feather in the cap of Kent ’ s visitor offer on an international scale , considering that we sit at the gateway to Europe and our city is the first port of call for many visitors from the continent .
Businesses like Canterbury Historic River Tours set the ‘ Kent Standard ’ that the city upholds in all areas , from the quality of its attractions to the beauty of its scenery , the uniqueness of its culture to the quality of local food and drink . Truly , Kent has it all !
