Fine day in N Wales and Chester

Our trip to Conwy, Chester and Snowdonia was very enjoyable, our driver Steve was knowledgeable and jolly. The stops were just about long enough and we were helped by very fine weather. Recommended.

As advertised, would recommend

Clive was our guide, and he was great. A fair amount of driving, but that is to be expected. Rabbies is the tour company, and I’d recommend. The group sizes are not too large.

Great tour

Our guide was Steve and he was very knowledgeable and his discussion was very informative. It was a full day but the amount of time in the van was at a minimum. We felt we saw the important sites in North Wales on this tour. We would recommend it.

Well worth the time. We...

Well worth the time. We had a great guide who was a wealth of knowledge. Took the time to explain the history of what we were seeing without overloading us with information.

The best tour ever

Oh my God! Our tour guide, Allen, was the best guide we’ve ever had, compared to all the other tours we’ve been on. His knowledge, personality, kindness, and passion made the experience truly unforgettable. My mom and I enjoyed every moment. A huge thank you to him!
