Amazing walking tour! - We had an absolutely fantastic tour in Cardiff in January with Eugene. The experience was incredibly enjoyable and informative from start to finish. Eugene took the time to explain everything in great detail, answered all of our questions with enthusiasm, and shared so much knowledge about the city and its history. He is a brilliant guide—passionate, engaging, and genuinely interested in making sure everyone gets the most out of the tour. Unfortunately, I was leaving Cardiff that same day and couldn’t join another one of his tours, otherwise I definitely would have. Thanks to Eugene, I truly fell in love with the city and left with a strong desire to come back. I can’t recommend his tours enough!

Review of Fogo's Free Cardiff walking tour. Bookable only on the website. - What an amazing experience!! We have lived in Wales for long time and feel if you want to know about Cardiff then this is the tour to go on. The tour starts at a central location and it is easy to find. He started on time. He covers a good mix of history, landmarks, language, food and culture - in perfect balance. He keeps the audience engaged with questions and general chit chat. It was not too tiring as there were plenty of stops. We have been on lots of walking tours and this is the one that sets standards. The tour itself is free and one can give a donation at the end if one wants. The money people give at the end varies. Eugene does not seem bothered by it. Not paying him for such an amazing experience is silly. Thank you Eugene. Don't change a thing!

Great tour - Eugene was a great communicator before the tour. The weather was iffy but we went ahead and it turned out to be well worth the time! The tour was thorough and interesting and made it relevant to the time we already spent in Cardiff.
