With Explore Wales Tours, I reserved a day trip for myself on a group tour. Max, an exceptional person with an ocean of knowledge, shared information on Welsh history. The first destination stop, Henrhyd Falls, was breathtakingly gorgeous. We got some wonderful photographs of the falls. It was a incredible chance to see the third-oldest tree in the world. We visited Brecon and two other castles. Overall, it was an incredible experience. This tour is well worth booking if you want to visit rural areas or learn more about Welsh history.

Had a great tour with Riki! He was super accommodating to my requests, and his narration voice made everything more engaging. His knowledge of Wales is incredible, and I really appreciated that his energy felt genuine—none of that over-the-top tour guide act. Incredibly enjoyable experience. Wish all tours were like this

Had a really wonderful time! I felt like I got a good mix of nature and castles and history. Max was a great guide, knowledgeable with interesting stories and facts but not overwhelming with all the information he shared with us. Perfect day trip if you want to get a little taste of south Wales outside of Cardiff

I loved how knowledgeable the guides were, and how they slipped in little bits about Torchwood where appropriate as well :) Also love the humour and the route

Very good time we had. Good science exhibits. Very interesting and interactive. And will cater to all ages.
