LOVED IT! - FABULOUS - If you love Gavin and Stacey you’ll love this tour! The tour guide was amazing, so funny & entertaining. Driver ‘Dave’ was also brilliant. You go on the original Dave’s coach and see all the filming spots in Barry. Well worth the money! Really popular so book well in advance.

When all is said and done, it was cracking! - We had some sort of idea of what to expect having seen some videos about this tour already. But nothing quite prepared us for what fun it would be. From start to finish our guide was in her Nessa character, giving us all the facts and quoting the show the whole way through. Dave’s Coaches was just fantastic, really made the whole thing even more hilarious with it struggling up the steep Barry hills. Or should I say, Bryn’s!! The characters face masks and photo ops were a lot of fun. It felt really down to earth and like we were part of a big family all together celebrating such a brilliant show. Couldn’t fault the experience whatsoever.

Memories created - The nostalgia and music …. Having a PA system blurting out favourite tunes. The tour and seeing it all for real. I just wish two things. Sorry three 1) to have driven passed Gavin’s 2 ) met the cast with it been a special time and them filming. 3) to have been allowed in Stacey’s , other than this , it was great

Loved every minute! - Both my sister and me really enjoyed this tour, saw all the places they filmed apart from ones too far from Barry. Our tour guide (Carrie) and coach driver Levi were so welcoming and informative. Carrie was really lovely and enthusiastic about our tour, letting us know everything and answering questions. Plenty of time for photos at every location and even a nice drink at a pub on the tour. Great experience riding daves coaches too currently being used for filming. Thank you for such an enjoyable experience.

A Crackin' Tour - This was an absolutely brilliant tour. 'Carrie from Barry' was our tour guide and she was lovely. Very knowledgeable and friendly. There were songs played and we did a quiz too. We did the tour on the actual 'Dave's Coaches' bus which is going to be used in the Christmas 2024 Special! We went to the Town Square where Nessa played the silver statue, to the church where Nessa and Dave nearly got married, stopped off at a pub for a half an hour break to get a drink (which you buy yourself) and then stopped off at the piece de resistance - Gwen's House! The real life owner was there, Glenda, and she was lovely. We got to go into the lounge, kitchen, garden and Stacey's bedroom and have lots of photos taken. The tour finished back at the promenade to see Marco's cafe where Stacey worked and the arcade where Nessa worked 'Nessa's Slots'. It was a fantastic afternoon and worth every penny. If you get a chance to go - do it!

Good time, worth doing if you’re a Gavin and Stacey fan! - This tour was great, it is something that you could probably do yourself if you drive, however the tour guide and driver make the tour so much more fun than what it would be if you did it yourself! The atmosphere is great and being on the real Dave’s coaches makes it so much more fantastic! Such a fun thing to do if you’re a Gavin and Stacey fan, the music, the little quiz! Just small elements that make it so enjoyable! Friendly tour guide and driver too, lovely people!!!
