Your Itinerary

Llandudno

We meet at Llandudno Railway Station directly outside at (bus stop H) on Augusta Street. We leave prompt at 8.30, so please be early.

Great Orme

After our introduction and safety brief, we will hop onto our minibus and take a drive around Great Orme's one-way road with its spectacular mountain drop off into the sea. Showcasing the limestone cliffs, caves, wildlife of birds, wild goats, and often dolphins and seals, as well as views towards the Snowdonia mountains.

Conwy

We will then head to the old castle town of Conwy. Here you can do the ancient castle tour or simply walk the castle walls of the ancient village, stroll along the Conwy estuary and paying the local marina a visit for refreshments and lunch, and visit the worlds first syspension bridge built in 1819. (additional fee for main castle entry)

Smallest House in Britain

A wonderful gem set upon the bank of the estuary and part of the castle walls is great Britain's smallest house. With arms outstretched, you can touch either side. Unbelievably, a 6'3 large local fisherman lived in this tiny house with his partner for many years! Always a great photo opportunity. (additional fee to enter inside)

Admission Not Included

Bethesda

View the guarding Welsh Dragon of Snowdonia, hidden in woodland overwatching for invaders to our lands. (limited parking - if parking space unavailable we have to bypass this stop)

Snowdonia National Park

Visit the spectacular route of Nant Ffrancon pass (the old roman road) which was carved out during the last ice age. Lake Ogwain and its dramatic setting next to Tryfan mountain. On our route including Pen-y-pass we see many great lakes, stunning scenery and mountain views deep in the heart of some of Snowdonia's finest locations

Llyn Ogwen

A spectacular 360 valley setting next to the lake. Whilst you stand in awe, we will tell stories of a historic find relating to king Arthur and his sword Excalibur at this very lake

Snowdon

Stop at Snowdonia viewpoint. Know as one of the UK's most spectacular views, this 360 panoramic view of snowdonia's horseshoe, gwynant valley and lakes, and the glyder's make it a photographers dream.

Pen-y-Pass

(Pass by)

The pass at its highest point is the location of towering hills and foothills of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) Dramatically falling into the valley below, and winding roads meander and skirt their way through the craggy cliffs.

National Slate Museum

Here you will step into the past and discover an industry and way of life that has chiseled itself into the very being of this country. Imagine the quarrymen and engineers have just put down their tools and left the courtyard for home and that's what you will witness here. There is a variety of talks and demonstrations to enjoy which will give you a real insight into the hardships of past quarry life.

Dolbadarn Castle

Occupying a lofty, spectacular spot overlooking the waters of Llyn Padarn, native-built Dolbadarn Castle was once a vital link in the defences of the ancient kingdom of Gwynedd. Constructed by Llywelyn the Great in the late 12th century

Caernarfon Castle

Take a walk round this world heritage site. After all these years Caernarfon’s immense strength remains undimmed - a brute of a fortress. History comes alive at Caernarfon in so many ways – along the lofty wall walks, beneath the twin-towered gatehouse, the walk town’s narrow and colorful streets and stylishly redeveloped waterfront of the Menai. (additional fee to enter main castle)

North Wales

(Pass by)

Enjoy the return scenic drive along the North Wales coast hugging the coastline and seeing its lovely beaches and mountainous shores

Excellent experience. Very informative and fun. My daughter had a wonderful time. Highly recommended. Been using Viator tour for 3 years now. And it’s always been amazing experience. Thank you

Joe_M

Amazing tour that highlighted countryside, castles and small villages of north Wales. The driver allowed many stops for photos and provided interesting history and commentary on various sights along the way. We enjoyed the ample time to explore the towns of Conwy and Caernafon on our own. Perfect way to see many areas when you don't have a car.

Freddy was our tour guide and I feel he made sure we got to every iconic stop, I enjoyed the humour so did the rest of the group. The weather was a bit rainy in the morning but the sun came out along the way. The van was clean, aka no eating or drinking in the van. Overall it was an amazing experience, would highly recommend to anyone.

Truly fascinating experience! Absolutely lived up to my expectations. Visited lots of enchanting hidden gems of Wales and took amazing photos. Definitely recommend Adventure Tour Snowdonia! Thank you!

Unlike other reviewers, our experience with this tour was poor. We were crammed into a minibus which felt quite claustrophobic (I am only 5 feet tall and barely fit into the seat; my husband was unable to fit at all) and had limited viewing out of the windows. We were unable to see most of what the guide was pointing out as we had an obstructed view from where we were sitting. The guide began almost every sentence with "So guys" which was quite annoying. I actually counted - in one minute of talking he said it 4 times! We were so looking forward to this tour as it was our first experience in north Wales. We hope to have another opportunity to see Snowdonia and the castles with a tour company that uses actual buses with large enough windows to look up at the scenery.

We enjoyed a very good tour of Snowdonia and the historic castles of Conway, Caernarfon, and Dolbardarn. The organised tour was so much better than renting a car and doing it ourselves. Having a knowledgeable guide/driver was fantastic. The weather was perfect (no too wet), but exactly what we expected. The history of the castles, the ruins and the beautiful scenery made for a perfect day out.

Kathleen_F

The castles were great! The countryside was breathtaking! And our little group was really fun. Our tour guide Freddie was remarkable.

Craig_K

Adventure Tours did a great job and Freddie, our tour guide, was incredibly knowledgeable about each castle we visited, and also the great local history behind the country. He was quite engaging!

Baileyroy

Great day out, so many highlights. The drive around Orme first thing was amazing. Enjoyed the castles, paid to go inside Caernarfon which also houses the Welch Fuisillers Museum, added bonus. The drive through Snowdonia national park is stunning, breathtaking views, particularly the view point we stopped off at to see Snowdown etc. Really enjoyed the Slate museum, make sure you see the slate splitting demo and short film. All in all a wonderful day out, covering so much in one day. Phil our guide was excellent, his local knowledge, as well as his Welsh history really gave us fab insight. Opportunities to chat and ask questions, nothing too much trouble, well planned and very well delivered. would definitely recommend, great value for money. Thanks
