Yvonne – United States

A lot of activity for your money! we truly got a sense of the Welch culture! Several unique stops with just the right amount of time to walk around and take it all in. We've taken many tours in Europe and this has been the best value for our money- wouldn't change a thing!

Rebecca – United Kingdom

Our guide Mark was wonderful and really helpful. I am disabled and had a wheel chair. He was very helpful with the wheel chair and getting me on and off the bus. he interacted nicely with our group and we were all appreciative of his banter and patience.

Full description

Leave the Roman city of Chester and travel to Wales on a 90-minute, fully-narrated journey arriving at Llandudno. Visit the 12th-century hidden chapel of St. Tudno on the Great Orme. Next is the walled town of Conwy, constructed in 1283 with a fabulous 3/4-mile wall circuit. Go inside Conwy Castle, a gritty, dark-stoned fortress built by James of St. George in partnership with Frenchman Richard The Engineer.

Afterwards, head to Snowdonia National Park using carefully-selected, off-the-beaten-track routes with a stop at the so-called “capital of North Wales,” Betws-Y-Coed prayer house in the woods. Finally, take the unique opportunity to experience the Pontcysyllte Canal Aqueduct, built by Sir Thomas Telford between 1795 and 1805. Prepare to be entertained and informed by your experienced guide and driver along the way.
