Eugene was a fabulous guide. He took us for a 2.5hr tour in Cardiff and we enjoyed every minute. It was super variete and every single one of us learned so much. Buildings, history, rugby, food, language, people: he talked about it all. At the end, we took his restaurant recommendation: again: excellent. Must do. And take a big tip. So week deserved.
