5.00This was a great tour and worth every penny. Andy was extremely knowledgeable about the castles and Wales in general, and was an excellent guide. All of the entrance fees to the castles were included in the price. He organized the tour so we could efficiently get from place to place and we had a wonderful lunch in a little café in Caerleon. Also, the Roman fortress and baths there’re were amazing. Not to be missed if you have the time.
Best itinerary and best guide of our whole trip!

5.00This was the highlight of our two-week Wales-London-France trip. Of all the amazing tours we went on and sites we saw, both my husband and I thought this was the most memorable and the most fun. Andy was the best guide we had, because he was knowledgeable about all the sites we saw and could answer questions about them, and he also engaged with us when we asked general questions about historical and modern Wales. He had enthusiasm for his subjects and showed interest in us. This was a small group at the maximum of seven guests, which gave us all time to engage with Andy to the amount we wanted to, as well as to talk with other guests. Caerphilly Castle was our favorite stop of the tour (and trip!) We had a decent amount of time to explore after Andy gave us a good overview of the grounds. I also really enjoyed Chepstow Castle. My only wish is that we'd had more time at Tintern Abbey, which turned out to have more extensive grounds than expected. This was our lunch stop, and we had our lunch first so that we could explore the Abbey afterwards and not have to try to estimate how much time we needed to set aside for lunch. All of the stops had decent time set aside to explore and take pictures. This is a full-day tour, but there is driving time between stops, so there is time to rest at least a little between. Even though we are not in the best shape, the pace was fine for us. We saw five amazing sites over the course of the day, had a wonderful time, and got back at almost exactly 6:00 pm/18:00, as advertised. Thank you, Andy, for the best tour of our trip!

5.00This was an all around excellent tour! Andy was great. The small group setting made it easy to adjust to our own pace. All the stops were interesting and enjoyable. Even in the rain. Definitely worth the price.
A day well-spent in South Wales

5.00This tour was a great way to see so many places in a condensed amount of time. Our guide Andy gave us a lovely, informative day. The castles were awesome, and each quite different from one another, so not repetitive. Andy had fun stories and gave us an excellent idea of what life in Wales was like during the Roman and Medieval periods. All and all, and great way to spend a day in South Wales.
