Additional Information

In the distant past, Tudor Cardiff slipped into the annals of history, along with nearly all its structures. Today, Cardiff thrives as a vibrant, contemporary city, making it hard to imagine that in the mid-1500s, it was merely a small port and market town on the River Taff. This GPS-guided walking tour invites you to look beyond the modern architecture…

A beautiful morning spent in Tudor Cardiff - A beautiful, surprising and educating tour of a city I have visited and stayed in many times over the years. James captures your attention with the sounds and descriptions of Tudor life, from the rich to the poor. I could truly picture how different Cardiff is now to how it was then. Thank you a wonderful morning sent in Tudor Cardiff.

Great, easy listening... - Great, easy listening experience. I did get a bit turned around in the Bute park area because I assumed we’d be walking along the pathways but if you walk over the grass, you should be fine.

Awesome, easy to follow, fun, informative - I'd never heard of such audio tours but was looking for things to do in Cardiff whilst I had some free time, and this popped up. I took the plunge and it was so easy to follow. And so much fun! Alongside the narration there was often Tudor music and sound effects (what it would have sounded like in Tudor times, where I was stood) which made it even better as I felt immersed in the atmosphere and could then really take in the facts and descriptions. Walking through the park whilst the Friars were chanting was a beautiful moment, and I loved learning about some of the different parts of the castle & its links to Tudors. I think this may become a bit of an obsession - that evening I made a list of audio tours to do next - they're everywhere! I hope they're as good as this one 😁
