This tour will give you a complete overview of the history, culture, geography & architecture of Cardiff. The capital of Wales is a young city but also a fascinating place full of greenery, castles, waterways, Victorian and Edwardian splendour, forged around a strong, growing Welsh identity.
Cardiff wouldn't exist without the influence of its Castle, while modern Cardiff wouldn't exist if not for the development of the docks. By choosing this tour you will discover how the two sections of the city compliment each other, and how they gave us the city we have today.

This was great for getting oriented in Cardiff and getting more oriented. Our guide was very funny and engaging. My lovely family was a little chaotic on the tour but our guide did great rolling with the punches.

We had a really great time with Eugene, it as a lovely experience and a fun tour full of interesting and fun facts, the right amount of history and background as well as cultural insights and great recommendations on places to visit and where to eat. Big plus: he didn't cancel despite being just the two of us and the rain, he let us know in advance so we could have our choice, but he did it anyway for us, and we highly appreciate that. It was super nice!

Eugene was a great guide who took the time to really explain the history and sights of Cardiff--there was so much about its history that I now understand. He kept the group together and gave us many suggestions as to where to go to eat or visit for more information after the tour was over. He was a very professional guide and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour with him.

Good recommendations of places to see and eat during our stay. He made an effort to interact with everyone individually making you feel like part of the group and not just tagging along

A top notch tour. Eugene is personable, knowledgeable and entertaining and the two hours plus passed quickly. At the end, we’d had a pleasant tour of the downtown, and castle area and we had a basic knowledge of the history of Wales and Cardiff, the state of the Welsh language, rugby, heroes and traditional food. Thanks Eugene! A real pleasure.
