The small group tour was well worth the cost- our guide Trevor was superlative! His knowledge base is extensive and his personality and humor enhanced the castle tour. Extraordinary castle; be sure to climb the spiral steps to the top of the towers!

Trevor and his wife were very knowledgeable about the region and the castle. He extensively told stories of the king and his exploits. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and highly recommend this excursion. They were also sensitive to my fear of heights and allowed my fearless husband to explore further. The steps in the castle were challenging!
Excellent tour

Trevor was a delightful tour guide! We learned everything we needed to know along the way and highly enjoyed his presence. The castle grounds are stunning and our only wish is that the tour could have stayed hours longer! Our van was super comfortable and easy to find our guide at the start of our tour.
Great Experience

Great excursion. Our family came in on a cruise and first private excursion ever booked. So glad we did. Very knowledgeable and experienced great views. Only negative is a couple others attended held us up by not getting there on time but no fault of tour guide. Would definitely book if coming to Holyhead.
Wonderful castle and great guide.

The castle was amazing and we learned so much! Taylor (I think that was his name) from Tudno Tours was interesting and friendly and the vehicle was comfortable. We had a very smooth pick up at the cruise port. I highly recommend!
