This is absolute stunning...

5.00This is absolute stunning experience! First of all, it was not as commercial as the other trips we had. In the past we had some tours left at many photo stops. This one, on the other hand, gave us the opportunity to actually walk along the beautiful, beautiful coast line and enjoy the stunning view. It didn’t stop at too many small towns. Instead, it gave us time to really enjoy the beautiful natural sceneries. The small town we had lunch was also not too commercial. The town was very local and clean, had simple beach side to walk. The tour guide also introduced some interesting history and was very humorous.. Plus, the schedule was not so tight, and the walking was not tired.
Great tour! Highly recommend if you want to venture out to rural Wales where there are beautiful hikes and amazing views

A Pleasant Trip with Stunning Nature

5.00The beauty of nature was, as always, absolutely impressive and a highlight of the day. The tour itself was pleasant, though at times it felt a little calm and could perhaps be made more engaging. With a bit more energy, it could become an even more memorable experience.

5.00Had a great day out with Roam Wales on the Gower Peninsula. Saw some amazing coastline and the guide who was Jim is really funny - made the day even better. I’m coming back to Wales again!

5.00This was an amazing way to see Swansea, the coast line and Mumbles. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Everyone was lovely. The coach was comfortable and had AC. We had time to spend in both places and were able to walk the coast. Beautiful day trip with a great company!
A Great Tour, with time to explore

5.00This tour was excellent. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. We learned a lot of history of the place as well as were able to get out and see things. We walked the cliffs and saw beautiful views of the bay. Mumbles, a small seaside town, was very quaint and we had enough time to shop and eat. Overall, the tour was great and I would recommend it.
Spectacular scenery and...

A Stunning Tour
743tedl,May 29, 2025
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00This was a great tour with a very charming tour guide and driver. Our day was somewhat muddled due to some unfortunate weather so some of the stops weren't as enjoyable as they normally would be. That said, I'm entirely positive that, had the weather been clear, the views would have been stunning. The best was saved for last, however. The rain died down and we set out to explore Worm's Head on the coast. This was perhaps the most heart-stopping view I've ever seen in my life. The green cliffs looking down to the sea, the wild horses (!!!)--it was truly gob-smacking. Again, if the weather had been with us, I'm sure it would have been even better. But not even the damp weather could take away from the epic sights at the end of this tour. Highly recommended.
Great day trip to the coast

5.00Started a little slow, but ended with a bang. The last two stops on the itinerary were fantastic. While the timing was very good for a day trip, perhaps they could skip the Dylan Thomas stop to give more time for the coastal stops. Guide and driver are to be commended.
