5.00Great tour and great tour guide Max! Lots of interesting information and stories on the locations, history of Wales, Welsh language, national Welsh symbols, tips on typical Welsh food, other places to visit and eat in Wales and Cardiff! Enough free time to explore each location on your own and take photos! Had a really great time! Very beautiful Nash Point cliffs, Welsh horses, interesting stepping stones near Ogmore castle and very impressive Caerphilly castle with its leaning tower and white and red dragons;) thank you for showing us such nice and beautiful places! St. Fagans National Museum was very interesting too!

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.
