Max was our guide and he was exceptionally kind & patient with me & my sister. No pressure to hurry, lots of great historical details, and clear instructions on where to meet at each stop. The van was comfortable and easy to get in and out of & I felt safe with Max's driving. The cliffs and lighthouses were remarkable sights as were the ruins of Dunraven. I really liked that Max obviously loves Wales! Great experience!

We throughly enjoyed this excursion, with enough time at each stop to get a good feel for the area. Good commentary by Max. He knew his topic, was very pleasant and didn’t rush us although all cooperated with his instructions
A wonderful day - Nice mix of scenery and history.

We had a wonderful day. I thought the time spent in each stop was enough, could have spend some more time in couple of the stops, but that’s the nature of day trips. Couple of the stops had different options what to do, so there is something to for everyone. Out driver/host Max was nice and helpful and had good suggestions what to do around Cardiff/Wales.
Great trip hard to understand guide.

The scenery was very beautiful. The variety was really good. Seeing the cliffs and castle ruins was great. Only negative was we could not understand the driver as he had a thick accent. Not welsh.
