It was an excellent tour covering most of North Wales. Chris is an amazing tour guide who gave us loads of information. I booked really last minute and the website kept saying to book 2 people but when I called Chris, he was very flexible and booked me as a single person. He even took the payment later. It was an amazing day and I had a great time. I highly recommend going on this tour.

We were the first customers following further easing of the CoViD-19 restrictions and although some of the usually available sights were not opened yet to the public, we still had a great time. The view of Snowdonia was quite an experience and so were the waterfalls and Port Meirion. Our guide Chris was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about Welsh history as well. Highly recommended!

Chris, who took us on this tour in his comfortable van did a great job of showing us around his country. His knowledge and his love for his land is evident. I keep recommending him to anyone who cares to listen.
