ITINERARY - SET TOUR

London
This tour starts by exploring the story of the Blitz. In 1940, German airforce formations, up to 1000-strong, used the River Thames to navigate into heart of London and wreak destruction. Much was destroyed, many civilians were killed and one million made homeless. Your guide will explain the effect of the onslaught on the city.

Kent
The tour then winds its way through Kent, the 'Garden of England', harking back to the long, hot summer of 1940 when Britain stood alone against Nazi Germany. There's a stop at the Battle of Britain memorial at Folkestone, an optional ride on a miniature train that actually formed one of the first lines of defence (Apr-Sep only - ticket price extra), and a jaunt to the famed White Cliffs of Dover. Lunch at the pub that featured in the Battle of Britain film is an option.

Battle of Britain Museum
In the afternoon there’s a tour of Kent's Battle of Britain museum, where we can explore the brave world of the Spitfire and Hurricane pilots. As Winston Churchill put it: 'Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.' We then drive back through the some of the country’s most picturesque countryside. Thanks to the ‘Few’ it remains forever England.
Adult entry: BoB Museum £4 (family/group rate available). Not included in tour price.
