Tudno tour in Snowdonia - We went on two different tours with Trevor, we were very well looked after. The tours covered great selection of scenery and locations. With every place and its history introduced very informatively by Trevor. Trevor has a good sense of humour, drives safely, he is aware of the need of clients of all ages. We highly recommend Tudno!

Perfectly personalised tour from small business - I highly recommend Trevor / Tudno Tours after my experience on the Best of Snowdonia day tour. My friend and I came to north Wales in mid December so winter weather was in full swing. Trevor was keeping an eye on the weather and a few days beforehand let’s us know that we were actually the only customers booked in, so due to the weather we had the option to cancel the tour for a full refund, reduce the time of the tour (as much of the area’s beauty was not particularly visible anyway), go ahead with the tour as normal or adjust our itinerary to suit the weather. We chose the latter option and were grateful that our booking hadn’t been cancelled due to just the two of us booked in. Trevor also kindly offered to pick us up directly from our hotel. I tried our luck and asked if we could possibly bring our luggage, being the only passengers, and be dropped off at the other option in Conwy as we had train tickets from there. Trevor actually ended up doing better and dropping us at Llandudno Junction so that the trains were more frequent and convenient for us. The vehicle was clean, roomy and safe and we could hear Trevor easily. We were also able to ask questions and converse easily. Trevor gave us a few different itinerary options depending on what we were most interested in seeing - we chose the South Stack cliffs over a couple of different castles. Trevor told us great information throughout the trip without overloading us and even taught us a bit about the Welsh language. A highlight for me personally was the slate museum which I would never have chosen to see myself but was surprisingly interesting and picturesque. I think Trevor quickly realised that my friend and I enjoy a bit of a meander & window shop as he gave us ample time to look in the various shops of the small towns we stopped at. He was also considerate of my bad knees and kindly assisted us when we were stepping down the odd steep rock. Although there were only three of us, Trevor was happy to leave my friend and I to shop, walk around or have our lunch alone if we wanted. He also happened to make one of the best coffees I’ve had in my few weeks in the UK. To top the day off Trevor suggested some places for dinner before our train and carried our luggage into the pub we selected and even made sure they had room for us and would be able to serve us in time to get our train before he left. I have no doubt he would not have left us before making sure we were safe and happy somewhere we could eat. While I realise that if there had been more guests on the tour we would not have received quite as personalised an experience, I have no doubt Trevor runs an amazing tour no matter the number of people (or the weather). I would certainly use Tudno Tours again and do not hesitate to recommend this small business run with love and care.

Highly recommended tour. I researched, and this was the best one to explore the area! - This was such an amazing tour. The guide is so knowledgeable and took the time to tell us about the area, stories, background information, and made stops a long the way so the group could take in the beautiful countryside. I not only learned a lot but got some amazing photos to remember this trip. I highly recommend Tudno tours for a personalized tour, and a guide that takes the time to make sure you're enjoying the sites. We saw so much! I'd do it again for sure!

Amazing Introduction to Wale - This was my first trip to Wales and I am extremely happy that I have bought the Full Day Snowdonia Tour. Trevor is an excellent host, guide and driver. It felt like he has been giving these tours for 20 years or so because of his extensive knowledge of history, geography and folklore. We made multiple stops and every single time there was an engaging story which allowed me to learn more about Wales and its people. Even though it was raining, I had an amazing experience because of the beautiful nature, interesting tour of the slate factory and the overall atmosphere. Once again a huge thank you to Trevor for creating such a wonderful experience. If you have only 1 day to spend in Wales or Llandudno, go for this tour and you will not be disappointed!

North Wales with Tudno Tours - Our tour hosted by Trevor was excellent from start to finish. Trevor gave us a comprehensive tour of Snowdonia, highlighted by explanations, folk legends, personal experiences and personal comforts in way of morning and afternoon tea and lunch. Trevor shares his knowledge easily, with good humour. The tour included Betws-Y-Coed, the National Slate Museum and Beddgelert, among other places, A very worthwhile tour. What a legend.
