A good experience - I loved visiting Snowdonia, I traveled alone but there was a good atmosphere and I was very comfortable. I don't speak much English but the driver put me the translator to explain the time of return. I loved visiting North Wales

Excellent Tour! - Absolutely fabulous tour! Wales is such a beautiful country. Would have loved to have spent more time there. It was a great overview of many places. Our driver and guide was Jean and she was so very knowledgeable, friendly, with a great sense of humor. She really cared about each of her passengers and made us all feel welcome!

Nice trip (but programm was changed without notice) - Very nice trip! We booked six months in advance and the tour program was changed afterwards (steam railway trip included and visit of Conwy instead of Llandudno). We weren't informed about these substantial changes. However our tour guide was flexible and included the visit of Llandudno. This was really great!
