John communicated with us before the tour. Met him without issue. He had a great itinerary planned for us. Oggie Rolls and cheese board with beautiful views. His vehicle was very nice. Flexible with us and very accommodating. Would definitely tour with him again.

    Visit Wales

    Gary_H, Jun 2026
    A lot to see in a short time frame, but it gave us a flavor of Holyhead and the Wales area, and a desire to go back and spend more time in the area. Transportation and tour guide was great. And the weather was in our favor.

    Excellent Wales option, ditch the cruise ship offer and get a more personal experience without the crowd.

    Lyn_Y, Jun 2026
    David was a fantastic guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about Welsh history and culture. We enjoyed exploring the medieval town of Caernarfon with its beautiful waterfront and views of the Menai Strait, walking the remarkably well-preserved streets and walls of Conwy, and taking in the spectacular scenery from the historic Great Orme Tramway. David shared fascinating stories throughout the day, kept the tour well organized, and made every stop engaging and memorable. We learned a great deal, saw some truly beautiful places, and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting North Wales.

    Holyhead,Wales Great Day on Tour

    Donna_F, May 2026
    Great day w/ David. Best so far on our cruise we didn’t think we’d make it because of the weather but we kept in contact with Viator and they were very responsive. David was kind enough to wait an extra half hour for other passengers. The weather was extremely bad going in on the tender, so that was the reason for the delay. Regardless we did the entire tour and David even added an extra point of great interest on and got us back in plenty of time. I highly recommend this tour and again keeping in contact via the Viator app was so efficient. I recommend purchasing the tickets for Conway Castle. It’s worth exploring and getting some great pictures.

    Our excursion which turned out good but started out bad.

    Susan_S, Aug 2025
    This was a very good tour but it was very disorganized at the beginning. Sara, our guide was great in explaining things and keeping it friendly and funny after getting on track. The problem was in determining the initial meeting spot. That spot was not communicated to us originally.

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    Dear customer, thank you so much for your comments.. I should explain .. tour is very well organised, just your cruise ship did not provide shuttle bus to Holyhead port so as urgent matter we moved all our coaches to Holyhead Marina which was not program... however I am happy to know you enjoyed after all our Holyhead experience Many thanks & hoping see you soon again Pilar Gonzalez

    Dianne_R, Aug 2025
    Both the driver Neil and out guide Peter were great. Beautiful scenery. The only disappointment was the train ride which went back and forth for less than a mile along a lake. It really added nothing to the your in my opinion.

    Nice guide and a fun day. Was a little disappointed with the train. It was a small steam train and it just took us around a lake. Just was not what I expected.

    A Great Tour Covering a lot of Territory

    Mary_E, Aug 2025
    This was a great tour covering a lot of territory in a limited time from our cruise ship. I would suggest taking the earliest tender possible if you are arriving on a tender from a cruise ship. The seas were choppy so our tender took long get than possible and we waited an hour for other travelers to arrive from the ship. Fortunately the tour guide and company were still able to provide the full tour we booked. Very happy with this tour! David was a great guide and I would recommend!

    Response from Host, Aug 2025

    Dear customer, Thank you so much for your nice review... your cruise ship was a bit delay this is the reason tender took so long.. normally we manage to have everybody ready on the bus in 10 minutes.. however we are very happy to know you enjoy our HOlyhead experience... we love what we do .. we do what we love Many thanks & hoping see you soon Pilar Gonzalez Top Private Tours

    A Wonderful Introduction to Wales

    John_K, Jun 2025
    What a wonderful trip with our guide David. He was very knowledgeable on the history, culture and myths of Wales. The places visited give you a better feel of local culture. Not a fan of the train ride (20 folks stuffed into one car was uncomfortable), but during the route travelled to a from Lianberis did allow use to see filming sites for World of Dragons season 3. A special shot out to our driver Owen for our Welch language lesson.

    Response from Host, Jun 2025

    Dear customer, Thank you so much for your comments.. We are delighted that you enjoyed magic land of Wales good know you have an small contact with Welch Language.. that is not easy one Many Thanks & hoping see you soon again Pilar Gonzalez Top Private tours

    Michel_H, May 2025
    We were many groups in the same bus so it was not a semi private tour. The train ride at the end was mostly for kids. The guides and the bus driver were very friendly and knowledgeable.

    Response from Host, May 2025

    Dear customer, Thank you so much for your comments As you well know, one of our drivers felt unwell the night before. We had two options: cancel the tour for 18 people or show up with a 50-seaters bus. We thought it was very unfair to cancel the tour at the last minute. In any case, every 18 people had a guide assigned as advertised. Thank you and we hope to see you again soon. Pilar Gonzalez

    Wonderful Time!!

    MaryBeth_H, May 2025
    1st- 5stars to our guide and driver, David and Alan. Top Notch! Great tales of legends and myths of King Arthur, Red and White Dragons, and interesting tidbits both coming and going. Many stops for pics that the buses cant do. Loved the tour! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
