      Walking in to wonder land this place is majestic, it's been used in famous films over the year's, walk down by the river or walk around and get lost in its beauty, restaurant on site shops and a pub.

      The weather made this trip a bit tough!
      Freddie was a great tour guide, filling us in on the history of the area and keeping us entertained! More stops than if we did this on our own!

      Incredible tour of North Wales
      Fabulous commentary. Great heads up for upcoming photo ops. Loved hearing the Welsh perspectives on history. Appreciated hearing the Welsh language. Loved having the drive broken up with several interesting stops. A change to get off the bus to stretch the legs. Enjoyed the other passengers, lots of diversity, ask very engaging

      A great day out.
      We had such a great day. Weather started out a bit rough in Conwy but soon started to get brighten as the trip went on. Portmeirion was a beautiful place to visit. Never heard of it before so would never have visited. Swallow falls a must. The Ugly House is really quite sweet. The whole trip was great with beautiful scenery and areas we would never have seen. Freddie the our driver and guide was really good, informative and above all a really nice fella. Thank you. 👍

      Lovey Locations & Knowledgeable Guide
      This was a great day out and we saw so much more of North Wales than we would have done on our own. Freddie, our guide, was friendly, knowledgeable, happy to answer any questions and full of interesting facts about the places we visited and those along the way. We thought the day was well paced and the right amount of time was spent at each location. Despite the wet weather, this was definitely one of the highlights of our week spent in lovely Llandudno.

      Snowdonia and Castles tour
      Very good trip, excellent guide (Freddy). Just the right amount of time for the castles. Rain set in, so I can’t speak too much about the Snowdonia part of the trip, but excellent commentary. Do be aware, as we were not, that the 20 pound entry fee is extra, and you will spend a lot of time there.

      An amazing day in Wales
      So much to see in Wales and this does a great job of covering a lot in one day. Multiple castles, amazing old towns, a taste of the Mediterranean, and breathtaking scenery. Freddie was a great host and always happy to give some extra insight and answer any questions.

    I booked a day off from work to do this tour on Monday 17.04.23 (as all the slots were already taken on the weekends I could do, which in itself is normally a good sign of quality), and had an absolutely brilliant time from start to finish with Chris and Phil. Both were very knowledgeable, and you could tell they had a real passion for each and every topic they discussed.

    As to the locations, each one was incredibly interesting, and I always felt like I had time to do what I wanted to in each place.

    I enjoyed every minute, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone wanting to get to know the locations and history of Northern Wales better!

    We had a fantastic time on this trip. Having Welsh relatives and as a first trip to Wales for my teens, I was really keen for them to experience the pure beauty of Wales. This tour did not disappoint. The tour was varied with plenty to see. Chris was an engaging and knowledgeable tour guide. We learned a lot about Welsh history from him and have been inspired to learn more. If you only choose one tour on your holiday, it should be this one. Just to add, if you book via Booking.com - check the pick up point as they hadn't updated it and whilst we were waiting by the pier, those who had booked on other sites were waiting at the correct collection point at Llandudno train station. Fortunately for us, Chris contacted us before leaving and drove over to pick us up. Have asked Booking.com to update their instructions.

    Thank you to our amazing tour guide Phil! Through out the tour he spoke about interesting historical facts and stories about Wales. He has a good sense of humour and was informative. The tour itself is good, especially if the climate is good you will really enjoy it and get good pics. Within the 9 hrs span they will cover all the places in the itinerary including an hour lunch break. Snowdonia national park and it's surrounding areas are very beautiful. And the drive through the great Orme and other coastal roads are really very scenic and beautiful. If you want a good, quick and budget tour of Snowdonia and North Wales, this is your best option.

    A fantastic day, very relaxed pace, well structured, packed with local information. Really enjoyed it and definitely recommend. You could early spend your time in the beautiful towns of Conwy and Caernarfon, without entering the Castles themselves. If you do want to enter the castles, we did, you have to book tickets for them separately, or pay on entry, that worked out really well and was very straightforward. It is not often you get to see three Unesco Heritage sites on one tour.

    Unlike other reviewers, our experience with this tour was poor. We were crammed into a minibus which felt quite claustrophobic (I am only 5 feet tall and barely fit into the seat; my husband was unable to fit at all) and had limited viewing out of the windows. We were unable to see most of what the guide was pointing out as we had an obstructed view from where we were sitting. The guide began almost every sentence with "So guys" which was quite annoying. I actually counted - in one minute of talking he said it 4 times! We were so looking forward to this tour as it was our first experience in north Wales. We hope to have another opportunity to see Snowdonia and the castles with a tour company that uses actual buses with large enough windows to look up at the scenery.

    Absolutely amazing tour! Our journey through Snowdonia and the three castles was nothing short of spectacular. The scenery in Snowdonia was breathtaking, with majestic mountains, serene lakes, and lush valleys that left us in awe. Each castle was a fascinating glimpse into history, each with its own unique charm and story. Our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and truly brought the past to life with captivating tales and insights. The itinerary was perfectly balanced, allowing ample time to explore and soak in the beauty of each location. Highly recommend this tour for an unforgettable adventure through some of Wales' most stunning and historic sites!

    A truly incredible and breathtaking tour in the space of 9 hours in North Wales . One of the best tours I have ever been on in the UK . Chris was a truly knowledgeable, passionate and informative tour guide . He had a great sense of humour and we visited the key castles and a number of areas within Snowdonia. We visited some magical parts of Snowdonia including lakes, rivers and art work ! . This tour is highly recommended and provides a brilliant history lesson for those new to Wales . North Wales in on part with Australia and New Zealand for natural landscapes and adventures !

    This tour was excellent! Worth every penny and I’m honestly surprised it doesn’t cost more. Phil was the perfect guide. He’s very knowledgable about Wales, had good stories, and was gracious about all our random questions. We really didn’t know where to start when it comes to exploring Wales - I couldn’t be happier that we chose to do this tour at the beginning of our trip. The castles and other sites we visited, and Phil’s choices about where to focus were perfect. It was eye opening and we were left feeling satisfied we started this trip out right. It also provided good context for further exploration, and Phil also gave us some great additional recommendations. So Phil is fantastic.
    Also the way this company has the tour organized is perfect. I haven’t ever done a tour like this, so maybe it’s not unusual, but to me it was the perfect balance of guide-led and independent. At a few points in the tour we would stop for Phil to explain this and that detail or history of the amazing views we would have just gaped at in wonder otherwise, and at others Phil gave us some info and left us to explore on our own for an hour or so. I can’t recommend this tour enough!

    This tour was amazing! I booked this tour for my whole family for my 30th Birthday and I can honestly say this is one of the best birthday's I've ever had. We had such an amazing day, luckily, the weather was on our side. Chris was a great, friendly guide and was so full of knowledge about everywhere we visited as well as the history of Wales. We even got an extra stop to visit an awesome dragon sculpture. Snowdonia was gorgeous and the castles were fun. Although I turned 30 that day I was definitely acting like a 10 year old as I climbed all the tallest towers.
    My family really enjoyed the experience and we would all be happy to do another tour with Chris. I highly recommend this tour if you want a fun day out and to learn about Wales.

    I took this tour with my Aunt and parents. There are so many good things I can say about this tour. Chris was not only a fantastic driver (those narrow roads in the mountains) but he was an excellent speaker and knowledgeable about his Welsh heritage. You will see some amazing sights and scenic views and learn so much along the way. I highly recommend. Two of my company had mobility issues and could not participate in some activities but they enjoyed themselves and had great reviews.
