About us

As the name suggests, Guided Tours with Creativity are imaginative and original, and encompass new ideas and experiences. Even the region’s key highlights such as Canterbury or The White Cliffs of Dover can be viewed in a fresh way with bespoke guided tours matching (and superseding) clients’ expectations

Managing the establishment

Managing Director, Yvonne Leach is a professional Blue Badge Tourist Guide and Tour Director with over 40 years experience. Local to the town of Sandwich in Kent and just moments away from Dover or Canterbury, Yvonne is passionate about the region, and as a client remarked, it shows!

Our Aim

Our aim is to ensure that our visitors make the most of their time in our region, see beyond the usual tourist spots, and take away special memories of their tour with us.

Tours can be tailored to any size of group but we treasure the opportunity to keep small and exclusive with fewer, like-minded, individuals so that we can really go off the beaten track and discover the many hidden gems this part of England has to offer.

Why choose us?

Choose walking tours in our towns and cities such as Sandwich or Canterbury or we can plan a chauffeur-driven (car or executive mini-bus) which takes away all the stress of navigating or dealing with unfamiliar roads and traffic systems and leaves you free to enjoy the sights from in comfort!
Over the past few years we have researched family history with visitors from the USA and Australia, rambled around ancient churchyards and villages with themes from architecture to country-crafts to myths and legends. We have spooked ourselves with haunted Kent, and visited Farmers Markets, with food and wine-tasting both sides of the English Channel. Our guides also specialise with WW2 themes and ‘Battle of Britain and The Homefront’ has become a firm favourite.

Whether you are staying in London (under an hour away by train) cruising into Dover, or just visiting us for a few days – see the best of Kent and Sussex with Creativity
