Overview

On this tour you are accompanied by a historian with a deep passion and knowledge of Wales. You will learn some Welsh, sample traditional Welsh food and learn about the ancient history and culture of Wales. Gareth, your guide is a fluent Welsh speaker and he will give you an insight into Wales that wouldn't be available with a standard tour operator.

The area we will visit is dotted with quaint old towns and picturesque villages which seem untouched by time. The South West is the home of Pembrokeshire coast national park, and is an area renowned for the beauty of its beaches and coastline.

An example of a tour could be a visit to the wonderfully preserved Norman Castle at Pembroke, then lunch in the beautiful medieval port of Tenby followed by a stop off in Laugharne, the former home of the poet Dylan Thomas.

We took two trips with Gareth: one of the valleys of Wales and the other of the west. The tours were remarkable and Gareth was so patient in explaining the history behind every place we had seen. He provided us with useful tips to make our tours a success. Thank you.

Gareth was a great guide! Even though the weather was iffy, the tour went on. Good insight on Welsh history and culture. Pembroke castle was interesting, but Tenby was the star of the show.
