My favourite tour ever! - 100% a must-do if visiting Pembrokeshire - Dewi Sant and Rug are unmissable (partly because of the outfits...and the leek) I took a chance on this with a friend from Germany and we were both so glad we did! Prepare to be amused by the jokes and intrigued by the fascinating history of the man himself (although I'm dubious about the purported underground tunnels to the local chippy...) I'll definitely be taking a few more people on this. No spoilers, book it already!

St David IS your tour guide! - On a grey bank holiday Sunday in St David’s what better way to find out more about the smallest city in the UK. Die and Rug were totally committed to their mission and dressed accordingly and carrying suitable props. The tour was partly fact, partly myth and frequently elaborate fantasy but it was all the better for this. Be warned they haven’t a lot of time for Vikings. Well worth the price.

Witty and charming pun-filled account of the extraordinary life of St David - Witty and charming pun-filled account of the extraordinary life of the patron saint of many things including doves and pigeons. I could hardly believe my eyes and ears learning about a rock split in half by a woman with giant goalkeeper-like hands, dangerous caprines, a bee emporium, the secret tunnels and personal highlight of the tour, “the window” - behold “The Window!” Definitely worth the modest £10 fee.

Monty Pythons”life of Dai” - Stephen. Really enjoyed this witty and eccentric maybe not so accurate history of St David’s. Particularly enjoyed the psychotic goats and pesky vikings

The best walking tour ever! - This tour was brilliant. We met St David and Bishop Rug and were entertained throughout the walk. St David, Dave to his friends was so engaging, funny and characterful and together with Rug provided great entertainment. it was a pleasure to take part and join in. Would definitely do it again and worth every penny. The only downside was I am not sure whether all the tales he told stacked up!! We loved the leek which was used to stop the traffic, but didn’t always work! The window was the highlight and thankfully we didn’t come across any vikings although the story of the sheep still makes me giggle! The sound effects contributed by Rug were brilliantly simple, so funny and were the cherry on the cake. We would like to thank them both as it was a fitting end to a marvellous day spent in and around St David’s. I would heartily recommend this tour.

Quirky and strange and lots of fun - Quirky and strange and lots of fun. David and Rug were ridiculous, funny and fully committed to the bit. This tour was a great way to spend 90 minutes and see the city.
