Rabbies luxury minibus 🚐 tour of Conway Castle 🏰 and Chester Cathedral. A thoroughly unique, bespoke, enjoyable fun day out. The mini bus was spacious, comfy, and immaculately clean. Robert, the driver, was very professional, caring, and extremely helpful. He provided us with an excellent commentary on the History, myths and legends of the places we were visiting and was extremely knowledgeable throughout. The tour was run like clockwork. The day started with a trip round Conway castle and a delicious breakfast in Conway. We got to stop off and visit various Beaty spots along the way which were breathtaking. These included a drive over both Menai straight bridges and stopping off in Anglesey at a viewing point to take in the Snowdonian mountains. A drive up and over the Snowdonia pass and stopping off at another viewing point looking out over the Snowdonian Valley, including Lakes, and Slate Quarry. Followed by Afternoon lunch in Betws y Coed. The final stop of the day was Chester Cathedral. A truly magnificent building which is steeped in history. Finally returning back to Manchester at around 7pm. A truly wonderful and fun filled day out. We travelled 🧳 on Saturday 11th January 2025. The weather in Manchester was -5 degrees. The Snowdonia Mountains were covered in snow and it was a truly wonderful experience. A beautiful dry, and frosty winters day. I strongly recommend this tour with Rabbies Minibus Tours. A fabulous and fun filled experience. A throughly good day out. Excellent value for Money. 2 very happy customers. Thank you Rabbie, and Thank You Robert the driver. Brilliant Service. 🙏

Recommend it. Beautiful views. Lots of history. Ritchie the driver is really funny and nice. Great price. Perfect day to get away from the big city.

Amazing one day journey to lack district! Driver James is nice and friendly. Not too many people on the bus so everything is fine. We are quite lucky as there was a sun! Unbelievable fancy landscape that I might never see again.

I recently took a fantastic tour with Rabbie's, exploring Manchester with my parents who were visiting from India. Clive, our driver and guide, was exceptional – his knowledge and enthusiasm made the tour truly unforgettable. If you want to see Conwy Castle , Snowdonia NP and Chester City along with beautiful on road sights and learn about the area in just one day, I highly recommend this tour.

Visiting the Lake District had been on travel bucket list for a while, and Rabbie’s three-day tour provided the perfect way to explore this charming and picturesque region. Despite November’s unpredictable weather, I was confident in Rabbie’s professional driver-guides, and our trip turned out to be blessed with great weather and a fantastic guide, Clive. We stayed in Keswick, which served as an excellent base for our daily adventures. I opted for the B&B accommodation and was delighted with Rabbie’s choice—a cozy local house with a delicious breakfast each morning. While I typically gravitate toward Premier Inns, staying in a traditional home added to the authenticity of the experience. The Lake District offered an incredible variety of sights, from breathtaking natural beauty to literary landmarks. Our days were filled with scenic hikes to waterfalls, serene lakeside strolls, and even a cruise on Windermere. Clive’s commentary was both insightful and engaging, offering a mix of historical context, natural highlights, and even local music that added to the atmosphere. In addition to the stunning landscapes, we visited cultural landmarks associated with William Wordsworth, Beatrix Potter, and John Ruskin, which perfectly complemented the region’s quaint villages and idyllic charm. Clive truly made the trip exceptional. His expert driving through narrow, winding roads and over mountain passes instilled a sense of safety and ease. He also provided thoughtful recommendations for how to spend our free time, enhancing the overall experience. This was my first three-day tour with Rabbie’s, and based on my satisfaction and enjoyment, it certainly won’t be my last. The Lake District’s unparalleled beauty, combined with Rabbie’s excellent planning and Clive’s expertise, made this a trip to remember.

Great views, Great tour guide, Great historic information. Thank you to James for giving such a great tour of Wales. Absolutely loved it.

The tour with Darren was filled with his shining personality, humor, amazing food stops, photo opportunities, and self exploration. We saw the most beautiful places in England and Northern Wales. We learned so much about the culture and language on the way there through his stories. Darren entertained us the whole ride, played music, and we were able to bring our food on the ride from different stops. My favorite part was the ability to independently explore each area for about 45 minutes each to an hour. He would share the go to spots to explore in each city. It was lovely to choose which areas and roam the city as a couple. There were so many local artisan shops to buy unique gifts from. Overall it was such a fun and relaxing day! It was one of our favorite tours the views were just unbelievable.. 😍

My son and I were in Manchester for a work/personal trip, and we decided to take this trip. It was extraordinary. The scenery, the stops, the information from our driver/guide: all of it was simply incredible. This was a day well spent, and I would encourage anyone to take the day and enjoy this trip. You won't regret it.

My journey name From Manchester: North of wales ,Snowdonia and Chester Tour It was very awesome journey in 7 October 2024 I will never forget this experience with a fantastic guide guy . Thanks a lot Rabbies

Three impressive locations in one day! I saw so much that I’ll be processing my photos for days. Wales is beautiful, even in the pouring rain. Things I wish I’d known: There are stretches of as many as three hours between bathroom breaks. You’d better be able to hold it because options are few and far between. The mini bus has double seats and single seats. The heaters blow full blast under the single seats. 💺 🥵If you’re menopausal - stick with the much cooler double seat side. If you’re perpetually cold, then the single seats will warm you right up. All of these locations, including the Conwy castle, are essentially outdoors so bring your ☂️🧣 or other gear you need for being exposed to the wind/rain. But you can also leave stuff on the bus throughout the day if the rain dries up.

Good overview of the area. Our biggest complaint is that the mini bus seats are super uncomfortable. It is a long time to sit in a cramped (we are not big people) seat that has no ergonomic design left. The extra cost for the castle visit is above the cost of buying on your own. Knowledgeable driver.

Aside from the obvious fact that the general area is very beautiful, the guide (Richie I believe?) was incredibly knowledgeable, punctual and humorous. Great service

We spent 4 weeks in the UK and our day trip with Darren to Wales was our absolute favourite of the whole trip. Wonderful stops, excellent bus and we can't speak highly enough of Darren's narrative of the sights and the area. Darren really made this trip for us. Thank you

Richie was a great guide and driver for our trip. He was knowledgeable and informative with a great sense of humour making the trip and experience enjoyable. Thanks for the memories. A plus was the sharing of relevant songs and playlist making it a unique experience.
