Fantastic day with Max as our guide who was great. Very nice, passionate about the region and a fountain of knowledge about Wales - we learnt so much! The scenery on the Gower Peninsula is completely out of this world - huge and seemingly endless sand beaches and dramatic cliffs - and very limited tourism. Amongst the most beautiful landscapes I have seen on the British Isles. A very worthwhile day with a varied and interesting program including the opportunity to walk and explore the natural beauty first-hand.
