Revel in the opulence of the British Pullman to Canterbury for a truly Kentish day out! It's all aboard the famous British Pullman for your train journey to Folkestone, before being taken to Canterbury by coach. On arrival in this historic city you can choose to join a guided walk from a local expert, or explore by yourself.
The cathedral city of Canterbury sits on the River Stour and is a delightful place to while away a few hours, with boutiques, cobbled streets, timbered weavers' houses and Roman remains to explore. The cathedral itself is certainly impressive and this day out includes admission for you to visit the UNESCO World Heritage site.
This British Pullman Canterbury trip sees you heading to Canterbury on this most nostalgic of trains, which is a worthy sister to the much loved Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. Leaving from London Victoria station, you'll have plenty of time onboard to indulge in a tasty brunch served with a Bellini cocktail, before heading to Canterbury. A stunning journey and an equally fascinating destination for this full day out.
