5.00The balance between nature, history and relaxing moments is very well achieved. In addition, the guide Max provided context without making it heavy, with that point just between informative and entertaining that is greatly appreciated. It was a highly recommended experience if you want to discover the best of South Wales without worrying about logistics. Ideal whether it’s your first time in the area or just want to let go and enjoy the scenery.

5.00Max is a wonderful guide, a powerhouse of information and so caring of his clients. It was marvellous to walk along the cliffs at Nash Point with Max, see the cliffs and then explore roofless Ogmore Castle before turning inland. This trip is highly recommended. Thanks Max.
