Full description

The cost of this tour includes entry to all the locations visited. We will have an hour or more at each attraction with travelling time making up the rest of the nine hours. Our lunch location will be at a small cafe in Tintern.

You will travel in a modern and luxurious fully electric vehicle, limited to a maximum of seven passengers, in the company of your driver guide, Andy, who is a Mountain Leader and a Green Badged Tourist Guide, an ambassador for many areas of Wales and a Visit Wales Pro. Oh, and amongst other things tourism and adventure, he’s also been chair of Brecon Beacons Tourism and a Brecon Beacons National Park Warden.

Caerleon Roman Amphitheatre is our first stop. A fine example of a spot once used for combat and games and perhaps even is the fabled round table from the King Arthur legend. We then visit the two museums in Caerleon, the National Legionary Museum and the Roman Baths.
Next stop is Chepstow Castle, which is is magnificent. Once inside its walls, you'll feel yourself taken back in time and perhaps imagine being a Lord or Lady from times past.
Tintern Abbey is glorious! Its ruins are a testament to a troubled past but now, in the Wye Valley, it is quiet and contemplation that is most often experienced.
Caerphilly Castle is quite remarkable! It has a leaning tower, just like Pisa. A rather fine example of a moated castle with much of its towers and walls intact.
Castell Coch is our final destination and it's a beauty. Renovated by the Victorians, it is gorgeous both inside and out.

Know Before You Go
This tour will take place rain or shine

We will visit spots with the most astounding views and many interesting features on our journey.

The guide was great and all of the places we visited were interesting. My only disappointment is that I would have liked more time to actually tour Tintern Abbey. The group chose to have lunch before visiting the Abbey and the service was somewhat slow so that really cut in the actual time in the Abbey.

Response from provider

June 9, 2025

Service at the cafe was particularly slow that day, and for that I apologise. We also had a few road delays which slowed things up a little. It's a difficult juggle, fitting in so much into the day and keeping to timings whilst maintaining a relaxed feel to the visits. Note to self: I ought to be recommending a packed lunch, but, quite honestly, the cafe is usually far better with their service.
