Wonderful cultural experience. Our guide/driver and entertainer Darren was knowledgeable.. the way he presented the history is fabulous.. followed by the music of Welch entertainers .Plenty of time to explore at all the stops. Accomodations were good.. right on the sea.. breakfast is a added treat... highly recommend this tour..

Would recommend this tour! A lot you get to see, comfortable Mercedes mini coach, good stay, (I’ve had) an excellent guide; enthusiastic, passionate about providing his guests a worthwhile tour, a tremendous amount of knowledge and a great story teller. Plenty you get to learn during your travels! A big advantage is you have your own time at the sites you’ll visit, the guide will give recommendations and will show you directions but you can make your own plan once your out of the mini coach. Significant time at every place. And back around 5:30-6:00 pm so enough time to have a stroll over the wonderful boulevard and to dine in one of the restaurants and to watch a sunset. If you want to hike in Snowdonia, you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful sight at the mountains during a brief stop whilst up in Snowdonia (if the weather permits) but don’t expect a hike in the mountains. I knew that but just so you know :). Castles, villages, an Italian taste :), nature & beaches :).

Full description

Day 1:
You leave Manchester and head straight for the border of Wales.
Your first stop of the day is Conwy. This little town deserves to win awards for most picture-perfect harbour town. There’s a castle perched by the sea, the ‘world’s smallest house’, and lots of little restaurants boasting the best fish and chips.
After you’ve soaked up the sea air, you cross the world’s first modern day suspension bridge across the Menai Straits and onto Anglesey Island. Prior to its construction, cattle farmers would have to persuade their herd to swim across the Menai Straits on their way to market. We head for the most westerly point of North Wales to marvel at the South Stack Lighthouse, sea cliffs, and nature reserve.
But that’s not all. You stop in the lovely seaside town of Beaumaris, and also visit the town of Llanfairpwllgwyngyll for a quick photo stop.
Then you travel back over the bridge and along the coastline to Llandudno, your overnight stop.
Day 2:
This morning when you head off, your first stop is to Betws-y-Coed. This beautiful little village is known as the gateway to Snowdonia National Park.
Next, sit back and watch Snowdonia’s mountains fly by as you continue onto Harlech Castle. This is one of our favourite castles in the whole of the UK. It boasts epic sea views and an amazingly war-torn history that involves a lot of dynamite.
You then venture to one of the most charming and unique villages in Wales, Portmeirion. This town is the brainchild of Welsh architect Clough Williams-Ellis. He wanted to demonstrate how a naturally beautiful location could be developed without spoiling it. The result is a stunning piece of the Mediterranean transported into North Wales. You have free time here to explore and grab a bite to eat.
You head back to Llandudno for the evening.
Day 3:
After breakfast, your first stop is to the Llanberis Slate Museum*. The history of the second largest slate mine on the planet will stay in your memory for a long time.
For your lunch stop today, we head to Llangollen. Situated along the River Dee, this little town will steal your heart.
Next you’re off to one of England’s most historic towns, Chester. There’s a lot to do here, but we’d advise you just head to the Cathedral, you could spend a whole week in this fine building and not get bored.
You arrive back in Manchester in the early evening.
