Shelly and Phil Show - The sites visited were wonderful. It was a well thought out route making sure we saw the more interesting sites. Our guide Shelly and driver Phil were the best team we have ever had. We have traveled all over the world and taken countless excursions but this was the best one ever! The bus was clean and in great shape, Phil did a great job, not too fast, not too slow. We were traveling with another couple and we all agreed if the tour had been just sitting with Shelly all day talking we would have loved it. She is by far the funniest and most attention grabbing guide we have been with. Usually on a tour at some point we say “wow I wish the guide would be quiet for a while” but not this time. Everyone on the bus was laser focused on her every word. Her stories were a perfect mix of humor and fact. Well enough said, if Shelly and Phil get to read this review we want to thank you for the best shore excursion we have ever experienced.

Wales - Best excursion so far on this cruise. Frank did an amazing job, kept it fun and very informative. The driver did an excellent job and was very helpful. It was a good mix of time on bus and time off to see the places that were listed on the itinerary. Wales is beautiful!

We had a day spent on the... - We had a day spent on the bus with an entertaining and informative tour guide. Frank kept us alert with his game of counting black sheep which are very rare sight in Wales. On our long drive in the countryside, Frank shared Welsh history. We stopped in a charming town to have a cappuccino and scone at a historic hotel. We then visited the Caernarfon Castle, home to the Royal Welch Military Museum. We had some time to walk around the town and enjoy some homemade ice cream. There was a fun stop at the train station with the longest name I have ever seen.

Wide Open Spaces - Several quick stops to get a flavor of northern Wales. Frank was an enthusiastic guide! My favorite was seeing the huge valley that was absolutely breathtaking and made for a spectacular photos.

North wales shore excursion - Shelly and Phil were amazing. Very informative and made the tour fun. I couldn’t even imagine driving a car in these narrow roads let alone a big bus. Well done Phil. Shelly you made the trip not only full of information but also entertaining. Very well done! Timed the stops perfectly also and gave enough time

Not quite the best of the Highlands - This was our tour guide's first trip with Viator; so she was not as familiar with the tour. I think we missed a lot because of this. She was a lovely person, Linda, and Kyle was an awesome driver, but I don't think we got the best of the highlands as promised. She kept playing music, which was very loud to fill the time.

This is a good trip if shopping is your goal - While the countryside is beautiful I felt the stops on this trip only had one purpose and that was for the travelers to spend money. One stop only had one place to eat/shop and it was part of the bus parking lot. Again, the countryside was beautiful.
