Wales · WELSH CASTLE TOURS
Six hundred sites, a hundred you can walk into, and one very long driving day between the best of them. These 15 pair the great keeps with guides worth listening to, priced and paced for a real itinerary.
A 9-hour North Wales loop with Great Orme, medieval towns, Portmeirion, and Snowdonia viewpoints, in a small group minibus.
“Excellent tour with great tour guide and knowledgeable host. Visiting Portmerion and Snowdonia National Park”
Snowdonia and the 3 Castles day tour from Llandudno, small group minivan, Great Orme wildlife, Conwy, Caernarfon, Snowdon views.
“If you like scenery and castles. you are in luck. Snowdonia is beautiful. Our minibus was not great. The seats are very close together and there was no air conditioning so if the windows were open, you could not hear the guide talking and if they were closed, you were very, very, hot.”
Sip through over 50 botanicals and a tutored tasting of three gins at Hensol Castle Distillery, ending with your choice of G&T.
“Hugo was full of knowledge and looked like he was really enjoying himself it was really interesting and the gin was delicious”
Full-day small-group Anglesey tour from Llandudno and Conwy, with Menai Bridge views, South Stack bird cliffs, and a picnic lunch.
“Trevor was a very enjoyable and knowledgeable guide. He arrived on time, provided excellent coverage of our itinerary, and delicious lunch and tea/coffee breaks, and even included a couple extra stops. We had a great day. He even went out of his way to return an item that had accidentally been left on his van. Thank you again Trevor!”
Swap Cardiff crowds for cliffs, castles, beaches, and St Fagans open air history on a small-group 8 hour day trip.
“The weather was crazy, but that's the coast/Cardiff. Our guide was very friendly, thoughtful and knowledgeable.”
Small-group Holyhead shore trip to Anglesey and Caernarfon Castle. Limited to 8, guided by Trevor, with Menai Bridge views and coffee.
“When booking, Trevor, our guide, sends a specific email telling you exactly how it will work once we get off the ship. This helped immensely. Trevor, in our opinion, went above and beyond, waiting for others to arrive….calls, emails, waited for last shuttle. A half hour to be exact! He even stayed after ours to see if they showed up for the second time slot, which he gave as an option. They were a no show. So We had Trevor all to ourselves! He did a fabulous job. Catering the tour to what we would want to see. Extremely knowledgeable in the topic. We enjoyed it throughly.”

Drive Snowdonia at your pace with VoiceMap audio from Conwy to Caernarfon, medieval walls, castles, bridges, and Snowdon.
“The commentary is not always in the direction you are traveling. You will need a second person in the car to tap on points of interest well in advance. We started our trip where the “tour” recommended but it appears the commentary was made with no particular direction in mind. If you wait for the virtual tour to comment on points of interest on its own you will be well past the site. For the money it did give us some information of interest.”
