King Edward built a castle in Conwy, King Arthur slayed a giant in Snowdonia, and the Romans laid the foundations for the town of Chester: this part of the world is packed full of myths and marvels.
And on this tour, your guide takes you on a journey through the best of the must-see sights.
You explore Conwy where a castle watches over a bustling harbour town. You visit Betws-Y-Coed, a quaint village nestling amongst the stunning mountains of Snowdonia. And you explore Chester, a town that’s blessed with one of the most brilliant cathedrals in all of England.

5.00A full, but fascinating day. Darren was a great guide. You always get a great tour with Rabbie’s, but this one was special. Beautiful mountain landscapes, picturesque castles, and miraculous walled cities. This tour is a delight!

5.00An incredibly nice trip. The guide very knowledgeable with lots of easygoing humor and charm. Nice layout of today's different experiences and stops. The only thing that could be improved is the legroom of the seats in the bus.

5.00Absolutely top guide in Stuart. His passion and experience was obvious and he was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to chat with. Bit challenging to find the meeting location for someone who doesn't know Manchester well.
