Customer Tour Testimonial

“One of the best tours ever”

John drove my wife and myself all over the greater Conwy area, focusing on out-of-the-way, special places that demonstrated the unique beauty of North Wales. John is a professional in all respects, and the tour was simply brilliant.

John grew up nearby, and so has a deep appreciation for all aspects of Wales, and he enjoys sharing his encyclopedia knowledge of Welsh history and culture. Definitely one of the best tours we have ever taken anywhere in the world!
