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 between 1795 and 1805. Prepare to be entertained and informed by your experienced guide and driver.

We had a lovely time with Shelly in North Wales! She took us through the breathtaking nature and the cute villages. We spent 45min in Llandudno, 2h in Conwy, 45min at Llynogwen, and 45min in Betws-y-coed. Every place was absolutely worth the stop. However, more time in Llandudno and at Llynogwen and less in Conwy and Betws-y-coed would have made the trip even better!

Shelly was an incredible tour guide! We had an amazing day seeing gorgeous sights and experiencing history - I feel like I learned a lot about Wales whilst being able to enjoy a stress free day due to the wonderfully scheduled day. Would absolutely recommend this tour!
