Highlights
At 'The History Project', history is our business, and we are very good at what we do. When our guide isn't delivering a tour, he is on a stage delivering a talk to a community group or inspiring the next generation delivering an educational package in a local school. Our tour guide has a wealth of experience delivering tours and understands that a good guide entertains and doesn't just educate. Consequently, our tours are great fun, and they are great fun for people of all ages. Why a tour of Deal? What makes it unique? For a small town it has an incredible history. Just for starters the Romans arrived on our shores, the grandest castle Henry VIII ever built is in Deal and the town at one stage was one of the largest ports in the country... and that's not even mentioning the notorious sandbanks known as the Goodwin Sands and the hundreds of millions of shipwrecked treasures that're still waiting to be found just off the coast!
