Stand on the spot where Princes of Wales have been crowned and even see the room where the first Prince of Wales was born. You can walk the castle walls and up to the top of the Eagle tower. Followiing the guided tour you get 30 minutes free time to either spend in the castle or in Caernarfon's excellent shops.

Amazing Welsh Experience

Published on Sep, 2024

We booked both the morning and afternoon half day tours with Tudno tours and would highly recommend to get a better experience in Wales the day was full of sites with nice breaks for snacks and lunch.

Best Tour of the Cruise

Published on Sep, 2024

Our tour of Caernarfon Castle with Trevor of Tudno Tours was the best tour of our 12 day cruise. We had never visited Wales, but we left loving the beautiful scenery and knowing more about the role of Wales in the history of the British Isles. Trevor was waiting promptly at the end of the very long pier in Holyhead, and took our group of 6 to the castle, while providing some historical background to the site we were to visit. He had prearranged our admission tickets to the castle, so we strolled in past the large group from the ship's tour. He led us expertly through the castle, explaining how it was constructed and defended over the years. The tour concluded with King Charles investiture as Prince of Wales at the castle, and a bit of time for shopping in the charming town. Trevor provided lots of interesting history in an amusing way, making the tour both fun and informative.
