Tidy! What a great tour - We were a group of 5 family members, with differing levels of interest in Gavin and Stacey and I can honestly say we all loved it. The driver and tour guide were engaging throughout, the bus was the original used in filming and the tour overall was very well put together. Great information about various aspects of the series as we went around and the tour actually takes you inside Stacey's house (even though it is a private house, the owner is a very friendly lady). We also managed to get some time with "Knock Off" Ness, which was good fun and there was a 30 minute break included - just time for a quick refreshment / toilet stop. After the tour ended, the guide also pointed out some other relevant places for us to look at in Barry.

What an amazing tour! - I bought this trip for my partner who is a massive Gavin & Stacey fan. Personally, not so much, but I have to admit it was an incredible tour. The driver and tour guide were really friendly and good fun, the coach itself was the original 30 year old 'Dave's coach' used in the series and we were given lots of info about the series and a quiz as we went round. The stops on the way were great, especially the tour round Stacey's house (yes, we went inside) where we were met by 'knock off Nessa'. Not usually part of the tour but she was great. The lady that owned the house was incredible too. Has a good sing song on the last leg of the tour on the way back to Marco's and the beach. Would highly recommend, especially for G&S fans.

Great trip! - From start to finish the tour was amazing! Carrie from Barry, our host and Kelvin aka “Dave” the driver, made the tour fun. It was great to see places we know and love so much from the show. Music, fun quiz, masks and a welcome break half way through for a drink. Tidy!

What a tour!!!! Well worth it!! - Honestly it was the best tour I was ever on. We travelled from Ireland and it was definitely worth the trip! I didn’t think they could make the tour last 3 hours but I was completely wrong. From the minute Dave’s coaches pulled up it was brilliant! Carrie from Barry was our tour guide and she was wonderful! We were all buzzing after the tour! Thank you for an amazing morning! If you are thinking about booking the tour….do it you won’t regret it!
