    Full description

    The tour leaves Manchester in the morning and heads straight for the border of Wales. Conwy is the first stop of the day, one of the most picture-perfect harbor towns in the world.

    Here you can see a castle perched by the sea, the world's smallest house, and lots of cute restaurants serving up the best fish and chips. Venture along the winding, scenic roads of the Snowdonia National Park before arriving in Betws-Y-Coed. This quaint town is known as the gateway to Snowdonia and is famous for its alpine trees and cozy cafes. Chester is your next stop. This is one of England’s most historic towns and there is plenty to do here. It's advised to go straight to the ancient cathedral and learn about its remarkable past.

    The tour guide was lovely and made the whole trip as good as it could get. I think his name was Darren? I actually would 100 % book a trip again if I knew Darren was our guide :) I liked all of the stops, I just think a little more time in Betws-y-Coed would be nice but that's just because we needed all the time there to eat if you bring Sandwiches and snacks you will have enough time to discover everything. I also made a great friend on this trip, so if you ever consider doing this tour solo, go for it!!!

    This was such a fantastic experience! As it was my first time, I didn’t know what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. The group was lovely and our tour guide Darren was incredible! He was funny, charming and full of interesting facts. The trip to the mountains was breathtaking and I was in awe of the beauty before me. I highly, highly recommend this day trip! ✨

    We really love this tour as the place that we visited is very beautiful and worth for the money we spent. The most important thing we have the best tour guide, Darren from Rabbie’s tour. He really has a good knowledge about the history of the places that we visited, very polite, nice and He is also a good story teller. We never get bored and really excited to hear all the history. Thank you so much for giving us a good memory of this gour journey.
