What To Expect
Conwy
Conwy Castle is a historic fortress located in the town of Conwy, in North Wales, UK. Built between 1283 and 1289 by Edward I during his conquest of Wales, it is considered one of the most impressive and best-preserved medieval castles in the UK. The castle forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage site that includes several other castles built by Edward I in North Wales. Key Features: 1. Defensive Design: The castle has a massive curtain wall with eight towers and is designed to withstand both sieges and attacks. Its position, overlooking the River Conwy, made it strategically important for controlling the area. 2. Walls and Gates: The walls are remarkably intact, and visitors can walk along them for fantastic views of the surrounding area. The castle features a series of gates, including the East Gate, West Gate, and Water Gate.

5.00Great tour with fantastic knowledgeable guide, Ed and a confident and good driver. The only thing that was not good was the space between the seats in the minibus we drove with, it was too crowded for even low people.

5.00We had a fantastic day with our guide Ed and driver Carl. They picked us up at the port promptly. The drive into Wales was beautiful and Ed was loaded with interesting information along the way. Every stop allowed the perfect amount of time to see the sights. Ed had excellent suggestions of how to spend our time and even guided us around to several places.

5.00What a lovely and fascinating trip! Ed was the most entertaining and learned tour guide, and he has stellar organizational skills. He took the best of care of us, regaling us with stories and information about his native Wales, changing our route when traffic proved a challenge, and getting us back to the ship in ample time!

Castles, Countryside, and Comfort: Conwy Done Right!

4.00The trip to and in Conwy was wonderful. Would have loved to have more time to tour around. Giving this rating a 4.5 star because of the trip stop in Betws-y-Coed. It is really just a place to eat and walk around. If you don’t like dogs this is not the place for you as this is a very dog friendly area. The ride up into the countryside was fabulous. Ed is very knowledgeable, had nice humor, and showed a passion for history of the area. Dave, the driver, was careful and skilled- especially going through the arches of the castle walls in Conwy. All in all- we would recommend this trip. The bus was like riding in luxury and very nice!
Great tour, terrible bus

3.00Tour itself and our guide were terrific. The vehicle used was awful. For some, the new, Mercedes mini bus (approx 25 passenger) would have been perfect as well. However, for any of us 5'10" or taller, it was misery. I am 5'11" and my knees were crushed against the seat back in front of me. Every person of si mm ilar height had to move to the aisle and sit diagonally and put our legs in the aisle, to be able to fit in the seat. Like I said, some would have no issues at all with this, but for me and several others, I would have canceled on the spot if it were possible. I thought airliners were difficult, they provide twice as much keespace by comparison.
Great day out with knowledgeable and experienced guide

5.00Lovely drive into Wales showcasing the best of the countryside. Conwy Castle entry fee is worth it, currently £15 per adult. The tour guide was excellent- he spoke at length about the area and its history which was very informative. Lots of comfort stops along the way. Wales was beautiful, I plan to return one day.
