Lovely day in the country around Cardiff! - This was a terrific one-day get-away from Cardiff. Our guide was wonderfully personable, the van was very comfortable, the stops delightful - seeing the almost 3,000 year-old yew tree was a hoot! Brecon is a great small town with a great Norman tower. It was so interesting to have lunch at the theatre cafe which is on the banks of the canal - great planning. And the castles we visited were all so different and offered a sense of how castles have played out through Welsh history.

Max, our guide, told us about the food, the castles and the history of the area while traveling. We also saw an old church and a very old tree. I loved it all! Max was a very good driver!

Mountains, waterfalls, and castles - This is a great way to see south Wales. Our driver, Max, was phenomenal and gave us plenty of insights into Wales history and present day. He looked after everyone and made an effort to get to know each group member to make the experience memorable. The waterfall was amazing, though it does require some effort :). If you need a snack while visiting Caerphilly Castle, we highly recommend Fablas Ice Cream right across the street. I would recommend this tour to anyone in the south Wales area!

Waterfall and Castles Tour - We had an excellent day of hiking to a waterfall, enjoying the beautiful town of Brecon and its canals, and visiting 3 castles! Our tour guide Max knew his "stuff", giving us his personal insights and an interesting history on each stop. Thank you for a memorable day of sightseeing with a very capable, personable and professional tour guide. Thanks again, Max!
