Together with a number of supportive critical friends, we met as a group outside Canterbury Cathedral on a chilly sunny Sunday morning. Sue explained the route and was open to questions. Amongst the group were a couple of not ‘so sprightlys’ and the pace was set so that everyone could hear the commentary and see the points of historical interest. The tour was well researched and lasted about 2 hours, finishing with those who wished to take part in a very nice lunch and allowing us to further discuss the history of the places we had visited. Well done Sue!

Sue Duckworth is an absolute gem! Sue guided us through Canterbury Cathedral & the Roman Museum & her knowledge was thorough & comprehensive, her personality delightful, and she was unflappable in our barrage of questions. Sue truly made the history come alive & we found her company to be utterly delightful - we would have been remiss to tour Canterbury without Sue's kind and thoughtful guidance - we highly recommend Sue Duckworth for those visiting glorious Canterbury & The Garden of England!

Sue Duckworth did a very good tour around Canterbury. She had thought it out well and, though we have been on a previous guided tour of Canterbury, she took us to some different places and told us all about the inhabitants, which was very interesting. I would highly recommend her and she is very conscientious and a good organiser.
