All things Wales and Welsh! - Dewi was the best!From pick up thru drop off, he entertained, informed and engaged my family of 4 as we strolled through Cardiff and visited 3 Castles (Cardiff, Caerphilly, and Coch). I was struck by his wide array of knowledge at each location we toured. But more importantly, he gave a wonderful overview of Welsh history and more importantly, a better understanding of Wales’ place in the world and the heart of Cymru.

20/10, PHENOMENAL - Could not have asked for a better tour guide than Dai. Not only was he so friendly and accomodating, you can easily tell he has a passion for what he does. Thank you so much, this tour was the highlight of our trip to Wales. 😊

sumptuous castle, to visit - After reading the comments I much prefer this castle to Castel Coch for the magnificence of its ceilings and its unexpected interior decoration, among other things; its designer is truly eccentric, excessive but admirable; in comparison Castel Coch is a very austere castle with too many staircases;

The Man, The Legend, The Dewi - Our guide, Dewi, was incredible. The level of detailed history that he gave us at historic churches and beautiful castles was amazing. He showed us hidden gems that the “podcast” tour wouldn’t have given us. He recommended an amazing restaurant for lunch. Then we asked him for some important places for my daughter who is moving here for university. He showed us the market, shops, and great restaurants and pubs!
