    Garath provided a ton of info while driving in the van over 2 hours to first stop, however please note that this is not a guided tour of any site. We were dropped off at 3 locations to explore on our own: Pembroke Castle, the seashore town of Tenby, and Laugharne Castle. Garath went out of his way to help the 8 tour members including picking me up at a location 20 minutes from town.

    Unfortunately, Wales did not grant us with the best weather which took away from the experience (out of everyone's control) but we still enjoyed this tour. We skipped Pembroke castle and got some coffee at our first stop. Tenby was a lovely little touristy town and the colorful houses lining the beach are gorgeous! With the weather, we also skipped walking the Dylan Thomas sanctuary due to the weather and had a drink at the only pub that was open that day. Overall, I think more time should be given to walk around Tenby as I could have continued on there for a while and, regardless of the weather, don't think I needed as much time at the first or last stop. Gareth was very nice and gave great info on Welch history and would recommend touring with him!

    I had a very enjoyable day on this tour. Gareth was a entertaining guide. His knowledge of the history areas we visited was impressive and also the welsh language was good to hear about. The highlight of the day was Tenby and the weather was perfect. I enjoyed the day enormously.

    This was a great trip to discover the south part of Wales..the guide provides insights into the life of Welsh people and the culture. Getting to some of these places can be tricky as some roads are narrow so traveling with him made the trip easier..
