St Davids Comedy Walking Tour
Overview
Available languages
1 hour 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
An original and hilarious comedy walking tour of St Davids, guided by "the actual" St David and his 11th century biographer. This is a unique experience, covering thousands of years of absurd mythology and, at times, questionable local history, based on the medieval works of Rhygyfarch the Wise. Expect heavily-embellished part-biographical stories from Wales's patron saint, as well as stories about Vikings, monks and leeks, all within the beautiful surroundings of Britain's Smallest City. This brilliantly imaginative and very silly tour is a must-do activity for anyone looking to do something different on their stay in Pembrokeshire, suitable for all ages. Dogs also welcome. For large groups (10+) please get in touch via email.

90 mins of silliness......a must for anyone visiting St Davids

5.00"Tidy" Highly recommend if you fancy 90 minutes of pure brilliance & silliness. Study walking boots not required but a leek could be handy. We are a party of 4 ancient pilgrims from times past, a Viking, a Roman, a Tudor and a Scouser, on a quest to visit all the UK cathedral cities. So lovely to bump into our dear friend, St David & his trusty side kick, Double Velvet Rug. The pair brought the city to life with their preposterous tales & dubious embellishment of facts. We are now on foot to Canterbury, therefore hoping that St David & DV Rug will offer Becket a Comedy Walking Tour franchise Thank you, Shield-Maiden Abs, Juno (aka Josie), Catherine (aka Martha), Scouse Bird (aka Mich)
Fun walking tour

5.00Good silly fun! You get to see St Davids from another perspective. RUG character is particularly worth a call out. (You need to attend to see what I mean).
Just great!

5.00This comedy walking tour was a lot of fun with lots of silly jokes. 10 and 13 year old really enjoyed it too. Would definitely recommend if you have a silly sense of humour.

3.00A Tour with a Great Deal of Heart We recently went on the St Davids walking tour and it's clear how much effort the guides put into their work. They were incredibly friendly and passionate, and their hard work to create a memorable experience was evident throughout the evening. Their enthusiasm truly made the atmosphere a pleasant one. They even encouraged a group rendition of 'Happy Birthday' to our six year old friend Albie, who walked past and recognised his fellow campers. However, we chose this tour specifically for the promise of both humor and historical accuracy, and unfortunately, it didn't quite meet our expectations on those two fronts. The comedic elements felt a bit forced and didn't land with our group, and we found that the stories were more entertaining folklore than verifiable historical fact. While the tour was not what we had hoped for, we do want to commend the guides for their kindness and dedication. For those looking for a charming, personality-driven walk rather than a fact-heavy or comedy-driven one, this might be a better fit.
Highly recommend

5.00We really enjoyed the tour! Both guides were energetic and skilled story tellers. It was funny and quirky and very British humour. You also get a good feel for St David's as a place and some of its history and myths. Definitely worth doing!
Really entertaining tour. You won’t believe your ears.

4.00Fun experience. The female performer made me laugh so hard. Clever use of town landmarks but also the male performer provided a bit of history about the area. Good fun
Give this a shot and lighten up!

5.00Great fun way to spend 1.5hrs. Playful rendition of some history and all very thought provoking! History can take itself too seriously….. so we love what our guides have done on this walking tour. Rugg was an absolute gem…. Really gave a sense that she is a Welsh diamond, showcasing that droll warmth wonderfully - st.david was great but he’s mentioned lots in the reviews- we need to big up Rug! St David himself….. should sing more on the tour! I was blown away by his rendition (won’t spoil it for future attendees) what a talent!!! Please incorporate more Singing St.David. Xx
