My husband and I had a fantastic day with John through Snowdonia and Conwy Valley. We saw and learnt more in one day than we did in 2 weeks driving ourselves - and without the stress! John was quick to adapt the tour to our interests and was interesting with a good sense of humour. He showed us some special locations that you miss on your own without immense research and time and we got our best photos in one day. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend John, and in particular the value of a private tour.

Follow the forgotten but, in places, ancient pathways which lie behind Llandaff Cathedral on this self-guided audio tour. Isolated, atmospheric, and away from modern urban Cardiff, they are filled with mystery, atmosphere, legend and ghost stories. In places, these paths were ancient Celtic trade routes or medieval roadways. They are filled with strange and sometimes spine chilling tales of ghosts and phantoms, still being witnessed and reported in modern times. In places, the atmosphere can become strange, overwhelming, even sinister, especially in the dark seclusion of the night! This tour follows a circular route taking you along a mysterious and atmospheric wooded lane, the scene of many ghostly experiences, before following the riverbank where more ghostly encounters and legends are told. The route turns back towards the Cathedral for more tales, and culminates in the old abandoned and overgrown woodland graveyard, with its intense atmosphere and ghostly tales.

Inclusions: Lifetime access to this tour in English, VoiceMap App for Android and iOS, Offline access to audio, maps, and geodata

Exclusions: Tickets or entrance fees to any museums or other attractions en route, Smartphone and headphones, Transportation, Food and drink

Head to Barry Island for a 3-hour ‘Gavin and Stacey’ TV location tour based on the popular British series that charted an endearing romance between the couple, making comedy of their cultural differences with hilarious results. As Stacey’s home town, the peninsula town of Barry is littered with filming sites, and the tour introduces you to the best ones. See where characters like Nessa worked, and walk on the street where Uncle Bryn lived. As they say in Barry, ‘come and see what’s occurring’!

We were picked up in Chester and Covid practice was very good and adhered to all day. Our trip toured North Wales and the day was so much fun, full of lovely scenery. Our lovely driver Frank gave us lots of information and history about the places we were visiting, really excellent. If you're worried about heights then the last adventure over the aquaduct probably isn't for you, as my husband realised ???? Thank you so much Frank, we'll be back, and I'll try not to forget my coat next time!! Kerris

My teenage son is a massive Dr Who fan and we booked the walking and bus tour 4 months ago. He was so looking forward to going but is poorly and unable to go and is absolutely gutted. The company do not offer any refunds or even the chance to re-book another Date which is absolutely terrible customer service. Be careful before you book.

We took the City Sightseeing Bus Tour and throughly enjoyed it. It took us down to Cardiff Bay. Which was nice but really cold. I can imagine on a hot sunny day it would be amazing down there but it wasn’t quite like it yesterday. I’m glad we done it though as it was really interesting. The guide was really nice. Made little jokes and was really enjoyable.
