Swansea is the second biggest city in Wales, and a city with a fascinating history. It is a city with a name of Norse origins, but developed by the Normans. It lived through the Middle Ages and became the biggest town in Wales in the 1700s due to the emergence of the copper trade. The industrial revolution created the Swansea we have today, but the city suffered through the demise of heavy industry, as well as the impact of World War 2. From Vikings to copper, from trains to Dylan Thomas, the evolution of this young city is revealed across this two hour tour.

Had a wonderful, informative tour of Swansea by Eugene. He provided insights of the area to help me understand what I was seeing but also the history of the area. Eugene also had suggestions for me to try after the tour which I appreciated.

I had a great time walking around with Eugene. He was telling us many interesting stories and facts, also sharing his knowledge of Welsh language. As it was during Easter I was lucky to be able to participate in a dark tour where he covered stories about prison, pirates, witched and haunted pub where later I went for a pint;) Definitely can recommend this tour anyone interested in discovering Cardiff and its stories.

Excellent tour - Really shows how Swansea was the most crucial area in all of Wales from the 17th - 20th century and one of the most industrially important regions in the whole of the UK. Also shows how Swansea was and still is the most culturally rich place in Wales.
A great few hours learning about Cardiff

Thoroughly enjoyed Eugene’s tour of Cardiff! Despite living a short drive away, my mother and I learnt a lot about Cardiff that we didn’t know. Eugene’s tour was packed with information, and he clearly knew the city well and answered all our questions. Will definitely be trying to catch one of his other tours soon. Thank you 😊
