Lovely drive into Wales showcasing the best of the countryside. Conwy Castle entry fee is worth it, currently £15 per adult. The tour guide was excellent- he spoke at length about the area and its history which was very informative. Lots of comfort stops along the way. Wales was beautiful, I plan to return one day.

Local operator was outstanding! Viator it self was horrible

Amanda_m, May 2026

The local tour operator and guide were amazing. They love the area and were knowledgeable and supportive of a family member with mobility concerns. Viator was horrible- I would give them a 0. My tour city was changed last minute, communication was very very poor and they sent my self and a family member information related to bookings we did not make in different areas of the world etc.

Our Splendid Day Enjoying the Beauty of Wales

Caren_E, May 2026

Ed was not scheduled as a guide for our tour but was a very informative and well spoken gentlemen .Someone on our tour asked how he looked so young but really he did look like a young man .But was very worldly and took his time making everyone was comfortable and making sure all questions were answered. As he said no question is silly but silly if you leave the tour without asking the question Thanks Ed Caren and Richard Etengoff May 14th 2026

Buyer beware: Service provided not as described. Tour operator combines tours from different booking platforms!

Gertrude_B, May 2026

Tour ticket listed the Inclusions of: Driver and transportation. Visit to Conwy Castle. Drive through Snowdonia National Park. Visit to Betws-Y-Coed. There is an entrance fee of 15 British Pounds per person to Conwy Castle that was not provided or specifically excluded despite description of "visit to Conwy Castle". The tour Operator was contacted and he/she refused to reimburse cost of entry fee because we were taken to the Conwy Castle visitor center which was free. The fast drive in the Wales countryside through winding hilly roads in a crowded packed van was unpleasant and I developed motion sickness on the ride. My husband had a paid ticket but couldn't go due to illness (not refunded). He would have been very uncomfortable in that crowded van for 6-7 hours. The tour operator combined different tours together with different tour descriptions from several different booking platforms and cobbled one tour that was close to what was described.

It was great to get out to other areas from Liverpool. Beautiful country side and scenery. Ed was a wealth of knowledge as well as a gentleman. We had ample time in each location on our own and walking tour with Ed as well. Had time to enjoy local foods with a coffee and a pint!

They sent an email two days before but our ship was at sea and we did not receive the email. we waited for an hour after the pickup time in the rain at liverpool docks but were unable to contact the operator and it was too late to book another excursion. Travelled 15000 klms only too be let down.. most disappointed!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

I am sorry that you were unable to pick up your email notifications. It is highly unusual for our Liverpool Shore excursion to be cancelled at the last minute Please contact me at office@yourshoretime.com and I will be happy to offer you a complimentary shore excursion on your next cruise.

Ed, our guide, was an absolute wealth of knowledge! Paul, our driver, did an excellent job getting us from Liverpool to Wales and back.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

I will certainly pass on your comments to Ed. and Paul. Ed. thoroughly enjoys delivering excellent customer service.

Castles, Countryside, and Comfort: Conwy Done Right!

Jennifer_A, Jul 2025

The trip to and in Conwy was wonderful. Would have loved to have more time to tour around. Giving this rating a 4.5 star because of the trip stop in Betws-y-Coed. It is really just a place to eat and walk around. If you don’t like dogs this is not the place for you as this is a very dog friendly area. The ride up into the countryside was fabulous. Ed is very knowledgeable, had nice humor, and showed a passion for history of the area. Dave, the driver, was careful and skilled- especially going through the arches of the castle walls in Conwy. All in all- we would recommend this trip. The bus was like riding in luxury and very nice!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Many thanks Jennifer! I will pass on your kind words to Ed and Dave!. YEs, we are a nation of Dog lovers, but they are nearly always on leads! The sherry though as you say is beautiful.

Great tour, terrible bus

Bill_H, May 2025

Tour itself and our guide were terrific. The vehicle used was awful. For some, the new, Mercedes mini bus (approx 25 passenger) would have been perfect as well. However, for any of us 5'10" or taller, it was misery. I am 5'11" and my knees were crushed against the seat back in front of me. Every person of si mm ilar height had to move to the aisle and sit diagonally and put our legs in the aisle, to be able to fit in the seat. Like I said, some would have no issues at all with this, but for me and several others, I would have canceled on the spot if it were possible. I thought airliners were difficult, they provide twice as much keespace by comparison.

Response from Host, May 2025

Hi Bill, I am sorry to note that leg room was an issue on the Mercedes, which as you say, is a new vehicle. I will be taking this up with our local coach partners, to see how we can perhaps make life easier for taller people. One of the potential solutions, is to offer 'extra leg room seats' (at no extra cost) for those guests over a certain height. I will keep you ported. In the meantime feedback is important whether positive or negative, as we continually strive to improve teh quality and content of our tour programme across all destinations. Thankyou

Great day out with knowledgeable and experienced guide

Sue_L, May 2025

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you so much! Wales is such a beautiful country with so much to offer. Ed our guide is full of local knowledge which I am pleased you found informative.

Bel giro

Siria_C, May 2025

Guida e autista disponibili, cordiali, premurosi e sorridenti. Itinerario molto bello. Per chi non visita il castello, la sosta a Conwy risulta un po’ troppo lunga, a discapito di altre tappe.
