We had an amazing day seeing Windsor, Stonehenge and Bath and I would recommend this tour to anyone!”

Travel from London Euston to Manchester by reserved-seat train, then explore North Wales with an English-speaking driver-guide in a 16-seat Mercedes minibus. See Conwy, Caernarfon Castle, Eryri National Park, and Betws-y-Coed before returning to London late at night.
“The sites were beautiful! If you have a full day to spare and leave the city, it’s worth the trip for the views. The guide didn’t give us a whole lot of information about the individual towns we visited and the time there was quite short so a map or an overview of what to see wouldn’t go astray. I also think spending more time in Conwy would allow for a short castle visit at least. I’d love to hear more about Welsh history along the tour as well. Plan ahead: the Avanti trains were running very late all day so stay in contact with the company to make sure…”
Pick a city, a castle or a long drive north.
