5.00Fantastic tour with beautiful stories and mesmerizing nature to see. I highly recommend. It was relaxing enough because you spend a lot of time riding in a minivan, but visiting castles was my favorite. I love this history and seeing these old castles still standing. Imagine what was happening there during that period! So incredible. One advice to the tour guide Mountain Goat, better description of the location pick up point. We had a hardest time finding this point because this part of the city is in levels. You were upstairs at the train station but you have to go below the bridge in a different street. We spent 20 min looking for the pick up point.
Nice introduction to Northern Wales

5.00The tour is a nice overview of northern Wales with a visit to Snowdonia National Park and Carnevon castle, with several other stops in picturesque Welsh towns. The weather was great and our guide, Paul was outstanding. We learned all about outdoor activities in this area as well as hiking and mountain climbing. The trip was not grueling, with just enough stops for bathroom breaks, food and photos.
Awesome! Must do!

5.00Unexpectedly beautiful route, which actually offers more attractive stops than promised. The drive through Snowdonia, for example, also includes at least one stop with wonderful views of lakes and valleys, not just the break in the small town. Our guide Mark was super friendly. Recommendation to the operator: start a bit earlier and include Portmeirion as well.
