Great one day tour in Whales - This tour was an exceptional experience around Whales in a day with our tour guide Frank. We saw Conwy Castle, breathtaking scenery in Snowdonia National park and Caernarfon Castle. The tour is very well priced compared to the cruise line. The tour guide Frank was knowledgeable, funny and a great guy overall.

Busy bus from Holyhead - Thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Busybus. Our guide Lee and driver Phil were the best we've had. Kept us on time and very educated. Very conscious of time and making sure we saw everything promised.

Excellent Shore Excursion - We took the Busy Bus Shore Excursion: North Wales Adventure with Peter and Malcolm. We couldn't be happier with our experience. The stops were beautiful and well-timed, and the tour guides were easy to locate when we got off the ship. The stops included plenty of free time. Peter kept us entertained between stops. We got back to the ship in plenty of time.

Great way to see highlights with limited time! - Gerry and Kyle were awesome! Had a fun filled day with them. Wish there was more time at some of the stops but know there is a time constraint to be back on the cruise ship. But all in all beautiful and a great way to see all the highlights in a day!

Shore Excursion - This was a great alternative to a cruise shore excursion. We had two large busses of cruise passengers. Our first stop in Conwy where there was a Castle (mostly ruins) and a medieval town with an amazing bakery. The second Castle was where King Charles was inducted in 1969 to become Prince Charles of Wales. The most interesting part for me was reading about the American Revolutionary War from a British perspective.

Shore Excursion - This was done as a shore excursion while docked at Holyhead. Covered a lot more places than anything offered by the ship. Good amount of time given at each stop. Tour guide and driver excellent.

Wales is a beautiful country!! - Jerry was an excellent tour guide. He gave a lot of information and Wales was beautiful. He even had a song to learn the largest train station name, but we could not grasp it. He also had us shout out for black sheep and prizes of value were given out to 3 winners!!
