The guide Ricki was excellent. He was personable, knowledgeable and flexible. The tour covered key and interesting sites over a wide area and Riki’s patience, graciousness and good humour made the trip memorable. I’d suggest more time at Tintern Abbey and less at Becon cathedral. Many have seen cathedrals but Tintern is world renowned.

Absolutely outstanding day!! There were only 5 of us on the tour which helped - small group tours are so much easier to be flexible, cater to interests and best of all, more personal. On top of this, Rick was so knowledgeable and passionate about Wales and the sites and highlights he took us to, it made the day so interesting and enjoyable. Loved it all but a real standout was being able to access the tiny church in the hills, it was so unique! I would do this trip again in a heartbeat - we saw so much I need to do it again to take it all in!!

Very interesting! Rikki really knows the most scenic and interesting sites and provides interesting commentary during the tour, besides being an interesting and entertaining companion. He took us to beautiful spots that are off the beaten path. I recommend this tour for adults. It might be a long ride for families with young children.
