From Cardiff: 3 Amazing Castles, Tintern Abbey & Roman Caerleon

Beautiful tour combining nature and history

The walk was wonderful. The beauty of the sites visited was enhanced with the excellent guidance of Andy, our friendly and experienced guide from all over the tour. We start with Tintern Abbey and end with the imposing Caerphilly Castle, on paths of beautiful vegetation

Cardiff: City Highlights Guided Walking Tour

Fantastic Walking Tour – A Brilliant Introduction to Cardiff!

We had a wonderful time on the City Highlights Walking Tour of Cardiff — a perfect way to get to know the heart of this vibrant city. The tour covered all the central highlights, from the impressive Cardiff Castle and historic arcades to the civic buildings and bustling shopping areas. What really made the experience stand out, though, was our guide James. He was incredibly knowledgeable, full of fascinating facts and anecdotes that brought the city’s history and culture to life. But more than that, he was just a really engaging and personable guide — warm, witty, and clearly passionate about Cardiff. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a returning traveller wanting a deeper dive into the city’s stories, I can’t recommend this tour highly enough. Thanks, James, for a memorable morning!
