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!
