Great Experience - Rob was an excellent guide and tailored the tour to our wishes to make it an active experience with about 5-6 miles of walking. Knowledgeable, personable and with a good sense of humor. We enjoyed his company and him showing us around his city

An Amazing Day in Cardiff, Made So by an Extraordinary Man - This was an extraordinary day made so by an extraordinary man. Private tours are always a treat, and Tony was so kind, generous and full of excitement for his beautiful city of Cardiff. We seemed like friends within no time. When we wanted a coffee, Tony said "wait, I'll take you to the best one", and he certainly did. This was our first time to Wales and from his efforts to help us appreciate the Welsh language and to share perspectives gained from his former career as an educator, it was an amazing day. Without asking, he also spent the day shooting photos, and then shared these incredible collages I've linked here. Just an amazing experience, and as a veteran of many tours, we were overcome with his genuine spirit, kindness and knowledge.

I Wanted to Keep Going! - Gillian was such a joy! I never knew I could see/learn so much in only 2 hours. Her knowledge of the history and culture of Cardiff is awesome. She has the best smile and the heart of a teacher. She even checked in on me at the end of the day. I highly recommend touring with Gillian...you can't go wrong

History and Legend in Cardiff - Our guide Rob assisted us in selecting the sites we had time to see during our limited time in Cardiff. (we had a long list!) We walked all over and saw the Castle, St. Johns Church, the Market and so many other places. During our walk he regaled us with the vast history of Cardiff, telling us stories, both real and legendary! He really knows the history of Cardiff! If you book this tour and are lucky enough to get Rob, you won't be disappointed!

Great local tour - Tony was amazing. Easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and flexible. He doesn't have a set route and will modify for what you like. It's not a standard tour, it's like going with your grandpa to his home country and he tells you about every site.

Personalised Cardiff City Centre Tour - As an elderly couple (84/77) just what we hoped for. A leisurely and friendly tour of Cardiff city centre where Maggie showed us some of the arcades, main buildings and markets with added personal anecdotes.
