A Beautiful Day Exploring North Wales - Beautiful day exploring North Wales. The highlight of the trip was definitely the scenic drive through Snowdonia – the views were incredible. Exploring the castle was another favourite; it felt like a maze, and getting lost in its corridors was part of the fun. Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole day even more enjoyable.

Spectacular North Wales - This is a very worthwhile tour as you see a lot of North Wales. The castles were great as were the very quaint towns. Our driver DJ (Bruce) Lee was fantastic and very informative and a funny guy to boot.

Great first visit to Northern Wales - Wonderful trip. Small group. Enjoyed seeing the castle and exploring the town with the waterfall. FYI you don’t need passport to go between England and Wales but you can bring it to get stamped in town saying you been to Wales. Line for food in Betsy-y-coed was long. May consider bringing your own lunch.

Northern Wales Tour - I learned several insights into Wales which I knew very little about before the tour. The sites were amazing to visit especially Betws-Y-Coed. Paul, the driver/guide, was informative and great.

North Wales and Caernarfon Castle - The trip itself was great, we got to see alot if the country side if at breakneck speeds. A point of interest was pointed out and before you could focus your eyes we had flown past. The commentary could have been more about the history and features of the areas we were passing through and less on his hiking prowess and how many snd how quickly he accomplished these treks. Caernarfon Castle was amazing. Are seat belts conpulsory?

The tour organizers were not polite and the bus was too crowded for such a long trip so I preferred to loose the money. - First of all, I had difficulties to arrive to the meeting point. In fact, the organizer has not confirmed the tour prior to 9 AM in the morning of the tour when he called me and started telling me that they were going to leave without me. I was on my way to the meeting point (which was not easily to find being close to the railway station) and I was lost as the google map directions were bad. Anyway, once I arrived to the small bus or van, in which it was a driver, I realized that the van was almost full and that our seats were small and could not find a good seat. There were around 15 people crowded in the van. The driver also told us that the first stop was going to be after 3 hours, so I concluded that this was unacceptable sitting so many hours in such a small bus with approx. 15 people and not enough space. These conditions were unacceptable for me. The organizer was not polite also - as well as the driver - therefore, I left the bus and I would never take such a long tour in such conditions.
