North Wales day trip from Liverpool to Llandudno, Conwy, Snowdonia and Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, fully narrated with a live guide.

“overall pleasant trip. the time allocation to each stop is good, considering the many stops covered and the total distance travelled. if anything, I would appreciate 60-90mins longer trip with more time spent on the Conwy castle and the National park, especially the latter. The tour guide, Frank, is very friendly and helpful. The way he tells stories and engages with the group is very interesting and creative. He contributed greatly to the overall experience my wife and I had.”

North Wales day trip from Manchester with Llandudno, Conwy, Snowdonia and Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, guided by a lively host and coach ride.

“Great day with Frank. We saw a lot of different places. You spend a lot of time in the car, but the scenery is beautiful and Frank has a few tricks up his sleeve to make time fly. The meeting point is at the airport, next to the trains coming from Manchester (my advice : try to buy your train tickets in advance, since the fare is much cheaper in advance) I also recommend the welsh cakes that you can by at several pastry shops, along the way (delicous !)”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 172 reviews · from $92

A narrated day trip from Manchester to North Wales, with Llandudno, Conwy Castle walls, Snowdonia viewpoints, and the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct.

“We had a lovely time with Shelly in North Wales! She took us through the breathtaking nature and the cute villages. We spent 45min in Llandudno, 2h in Conwy, 45min at Llynogwen, and 45min in Betws-y-coed. Every place was absolutely worth the stop. However, more time in Llandudno and at Llynogwen and less in Conwy and Betws-y-coed would have made the trip even better!”

Cruise-day North Wales shore trip from Holyhead to Conwy, Caernarfon, Betws-y-Coed, and Llanfairpwll, timed to your ship. Air-conditioned comfort.

“Snowdonia National Park was my favorite. My least favorite was the Walled City. If I had to do it over, I would’ve immediately beelined for the castle for a tour. There wasn’t enough in my opinion to see otherwise. By the time I thought of it, I had wasted time by going to the bathroom and pendling around.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 129 reviews · 9 to 10 hours (approx.) · from $134

A small-group West Wales day trip from Cardiff with Pembroke Castle, Tenby beaches, and Dylan Thomas Laugharne, guided by Gareth.

“Gareth's tour is a wonderful and efficient way to see western Wales, especially for those without their own transportation. Throughout the journey, Gareth shared his tremendous knowledge of Welsh folklore and tradition and answered any questions from us about the Welsh. [He uses a microphone so everyone in the van can clearly hear]. He is also a careful driver which I appreciated as it was raining off and on that day. We started with Dylan Thomas's village and the estuary with the Norman castle and Thomas' statue for a short stop. [As it was pouring that day, Gareth changed the sequence of the stops to fit the weather- much appreciated.]…”

The tour guide,John, was funny, knowledgeable and processed the ability to pull the group of five single solo travelers and a family together to act as a single unit in this precarious time of Covid making each of us feel happy, safe and secure ; and at the same time practicing social distancing whenever possible. I love medieval history and the tour and guide gave me an unforgettable experience. The accommodations were excellent.”
