5.00James helped orient us to Cardiff, recommended places to eat, have a pint, walked us around several of the arcades, and suggested other activities - even beyond Cardiff itself - that made this with the booking.
Best walking tour. Very responsive guide.

5.00James was very friendly and knowledgeable. He took us to places we wouldn’t have found ourselves during the short time we were staying in Cardiff and gave us some good tips for places to eat, drink and see. The pace was easy and we didn’t feel rushed.
Great introduction to Cardiff

5.00We enjoyed our walking tour of Cardiff. It was a great introduction to the city center area, with some history, local flavor, and restaurant recommendations from a local. It lasted about 90 minutes and there were 5 people in our group, which made it easy to navigate. It is a walking tour, so covers a decent amount of ground. The guide was personable and knowledgeable.
Informative

5.00Really enjoyed this guided walk with James. Perfect as an introduction to Cardiff and orientation of the city. Good length and pace with lots of interesting points that you would miss if you were discovering the city on your own. Cracking recommendation for dinner at a superb Italian as well!
