The tour was very well planned and the guide was very knowledgeable and thoughtful. Sufficient time to spend at the major attractions with good tips on how to make the most out of the experience. Entertaining car rides and lots of good tales to learn not just the facts about the tourist spots, but the local culture and history of Wales.

The weather was hit and miss, I felt we experienced four seasons in one day but the sun was out just at the right times of the tour. Our tour Guide Chris was exceptional. He was very knowledgeable and informative. We learnt so much about the history and culture of the Welsh people. The tour itself was well organised with lots of hidden gems and time well spent at each stop. So many picturesque opportunities. I will highly recommend as it’s definitely a day well spent with a wonderful tour guide.

Chris was the perfect guide and local host to explore Wales! He's very passionate and knowledgeable about the area, was very engaging throughout and added funny stories to all his explanations! The tour covered quite a lot in under a day and it's the perfect intro to Snowdonia, especially if you don't have a car or aren't local.
