Superb Private Walking Tour of Cardiff - Eugene is an exceptional guide. His enthusiasm for (and knowledge of) Welsh history and culture is profound. Because I was a solo traveler, he took great care to tailor the walk to my particular interests. Next time that I am in Cardiff, I will certainly book another walking tour with FOGO.
