Beautiful, well paced tour - All the stops were great! The tour was extremely well paced—we didn’t feel rushed whatsoever, and the drive was very scenic. Our guide, Max, was very knowledgeable and gave us many insights into each stop and into Welsh culture. He also had excellent recommendations for places to eat and visit in Wales. Overall, great value for the money.

The cliffs & castles tour of South Wales - Max was our guide and he was exceptionally kind & patient with me & my sister. No pressure to hurry, lots of great historical details, and clear instructions on where to meet at each stop. The van was comfortable and easy to get in and out of & I felt safe with Max's driving. The cliffs and lighthouses were remarkable sights as were the ruins of Dunraven. I really liked that Max obviously loves Wales! Great experience!
