Out of the many group tours I have done so far, I would like to give full points to this one. Our guide for the day - Phil, made our journey absolutely delightful by not just sharing the history of every place we visited but also by not rushing us at each stop. It was a very well planned trip, allowing us enough time to explore all the sites. I highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Llandudno. And a big thank you to Phil, for making us feel so special on our first wedding anniversary. You made this trip really special for me and my husband. Cheers!

Wow

Views and is worth a visit plenty of places you can eat. Walk to the bottom and you have the hotel and sit down with a cold drink and admire the view.
