Fantastic!

Kiela_B, Oct 2025

Our driver, Dave, was incredibly knowledgeable and kind. He showed us a fantastic time and even managed to squeeze in the Cathedral! I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Hi Kiela, thank you for your review. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour, it was a pleasure spending the morning with you and showing you around

Great but just not quite what we thought

Madison_M, Aug 2025

This was a very cool experience. It wasn’t quite what we expected. We thought we’d have our driver or someone at the venue tour us through the castles and cathedral but that was not the case. The first castle had a virtual story that you could read/listen/watch as you went though the place. It did provide lots of interesting details of the life of some of the people that lived there but you do need to pay attention to the direction you go so you follow the story. The second castle was an audio tour (came with the payment to enter) and it was fairly informative and once the speech was done in a room it gave you options to learn more about different things you might find interesting. And there was no tour through the cathedral, we just walked through. It was all beautiful and absolutely amazing. We had a wonderful time! And would recommend but just wasn’t quite what we had expected. Our driver was also very friendly and had lots of information to share about Cardiff, the surrounding areas and its history. We had a great time with our driver!

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Hi Madison, sorry for the confusion about having someone with you to guide you around the Castles & Cathedrals. Our guest usually prefer being able to explore and discover the various places we take them all over Wales independently at their own pace, so we tell them about the places we are taking them too, and once we arrive there, we let them explore in peace. Our guests have told us they very much like this "hands off" approach. I have now updated our listing, to make this clearer to those who wish to take this tour in the future. I'm glad you still enjoyed the tour and had a wonderful time however and hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Wales

Good to Experience

Wonderful Wales

Nicholas_W, May 2025

Wonderful experience getting outside of Cardiff and seeing more of south Wales. The castles were beautiful and we had a lot of time to explore.

Response from Host, May 2025

Hi Nicholas, thank you for your review. We love showing of our Castles and countryside, so I'm happy you enjoyed them as well

Cardiff castles

Donna_D, Apr 2025

Dave was a super guide. I absolutely enjoyed every minute of this tour. The inside of Caerphilly was closed but the outside is spectacular by itself. Castle Coch is a great experience and Llandaff Cathedral is definitely worth visiting.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Hi Donna, thank you for your kind review. It was lovely meeting you and I'm glad you enjoyed the tour. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Wales as much

Great way to pack a lot into half a day

Cindy_A, Sep 2024

I really enjoyed the itinerary, it was exactly what I wanted to do and didn't take up an entire day.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Hi Cindy, thank you for your review. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour, and hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Cardiff as much

Enjoyed.

Erin_W, Jul 2024

We enjoyed the tour and the chance to get out of the city. Wish that Caerphilly Castle had been open to the public, considering how far we traveled, as that was one of the reasons we booked the tour. But our tour guide was prompt, very kind and good natured, and easy to converse with. We were grateful for his time, patience, and expertise.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Hi Erin, thank you for your review, and I'm glad you enjoyed the tour. It is a shame Caerphilly Caslte was closed on the day, but as I'm sure you can appreciate, this is beyond our control. You will have to come back another time, and we can take you to the castle again. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Cardiff aswell
