  • 5Great intro to Wales

    Fantastic day with our knowledgeable guide David. This was our first time in Wales and we are so glad we spent the day on this tour. We have to come back and take more time to see all these sights!

  • 5Great villages and learned a lot, just need more time in each

    This was a great tour. David, our tour guide was excellent. Our only comment is we would have liked more time in both towns. I’m not sure you can do an 8 hour tour, and I’m not sure we would have signed up for such a long one, but we did so enjoy, we would like more time. Or we would have eliminated the funicular, although very nice, the villages were the highlight. But we highly recommend. And the tour operator stayed in touch with me from the time I signed up until we were on the van. We also appreciated the small group. Thank you Pilar and David!

  • 5Great day in Wales!

    We really enjoy booking the smaller group tours for our port calls and were not disappointed with this one. The small bus was the perfect size for the small group of 16 for the day, we were able to see everything as described in the tour and a couple of other quickies too! David the guide was extremely knowledgeable with extensive knowledge of Wales and our stops. Allen the driver was fast and safe! If you are in Wales, I definitely recommend seeing it with a smaller group, way more flexible and a lot more personal attention than booking the experience with a big bus. Top Tours and Viator did good with this one!

  • 5Nice shore excursion in Wales.

    The group was very attentive to our issues in debarking the ship which resulted in a 45-minute delay. David was a great guide in his explanations and stories. He regrouped the schedule and got us to our sites in a timely fashion. Our time in Conwy was necessarily shortened by we had time to explore. The tramway was a fun experience and the views from the top of the Olm were amazing. We chose not to go into Caernarfon Castle but enjoyed the exterior views and the shops. Allen, our driver, navigated some tight areas. He was helpful and attentive to the needs of loading and unloading wheelchairs. I would highly recommend both of them.

  • 5A Great Little Taste of Wales

    We we're sent instructions about where to meet by the tour manager which were very helpful. Our guide, David met us as promised and we boarded a small, comfortable coach. We really enjoyed the castle and the surrounding town. The town of Conway was also a beautiful spot. We also got to see the town with the longest name. It was fun. Our guide David gave us some great insights to and info about the towns and surrounding areas, as well as some of the engineering feats it took to make them possible. He was very personable, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Our driver, Alan was great ad well. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend it. The only issue I have is we had a time limit because we were on a cruise ship. I wish it were an hour longer.

  • 5Must do

    We visited 2 very quaint towns. David, our tour guide, was extremely informative with lots of history information. A bit of positive feedback would be that it would be nice to have some breaks from the commentary, particularly on the return.

About Holyhead

Holyhead is a harbour town on Holy Island, off Anglesey, with a Roman fort, a long breakwater and sea cliffs where seabirds nest.

Holyhead stands on Holy Island, joined to Anglesey by an embankment and a bridge, and is the ferry port for Dublin across the Irish Sea. St Cybi's Church sits inside the walls of a small Roman fort beside the harbour, and the Holyhead Breakwater, built over decades in the nineteenth century, is the longest in Britain and runs for more than two kilometres beside a country park.
