Full description

Leave the bustling city of Manchester and travel to Wales on a 90-minute fully-narrated journey arriving at Llandudno. Visit the 12th century hidden chapel of St. Tudno on the Great Orme. Next is the walled town of Conwy, constructed in 1283 with a fabulous 3/4-mile wall circuit. Go inside Conwy Castle, a gritty, dark-stoned fortress built by James of St. George in partnership with the french Richard The Engineer.

Head into Snowdonia National Park using carefully-selected, off-the-beaten-track routes with a stop at the “capital of North Wales”: Betws-Y-Coed prayer house in the woods. Finally, take the unique opportunity to experience the Pontcysyllte Canal Aqueduct, built by Sir Thomas Telford in between 1795 and 1805. Prepare to be entertained and informed from your experienced guide and driver.

Had a great driver and the group on the bus was easy to get on with

While the tour had more driving time than I had anticipated all the stops were interesting and informative as well as being very diverse. An added bonus, to help with all the riding, was the 2 walks offered; 1 within Snowdonia and the other across the aqueduct. Llandudno was interesting and the Georgian architecture was wonderful. Conwy Castle was a wonderful experience and worth the price alone.

The Snowdonia National Park was the best part of the trip.
