Highly recommended. We had a fantastic time in North Wales on board with Frank our guide for the day. It was a chance for us to see and walk along other interesting places outside of the city such as mountains, hills & countryside. We were lucky that day as the weather was really good ! Frank has been a great and interesting guide with a great sense of humour. We learnt so much that day ! This was the first time using Busybus and we will definitely be using it again.

We had a lovely time with Shelly in North Wales! She took us through the breathtaking nature and the cute villages. We spent 45min in Llandudno, 2h in Conwy, 45min at Llynogwen, and 45min in Betws-y-coed. Every place was absolutely worth the stop. However, more time in Llandudno and at Llynogwen and less in Conwy and Betws-y-coed would have made the trip even better!

This trip was absolutely amazing! Our tourguide really did a great job and accidentally we had a super sunny day in February. We definitely recommend this tour! (Our Tourguides name was Frank, he’s super nice, funny and knowledgeable)

It was a great trip and Stuart definitely knows things around and is a lot of fun. He made this a very memorable trip!

It was a fantastic day with the Shelly, the best tourgide ever!
