Overview

On this tour you are accompanied by a historian with a deep passion and knowledge of Wales. You will learn some Welsh, sample traditional Welsh food and learn about the ancient history and culture of Wales. Gareth, your guide is a fluent Welsh speaker and he will give you an insight into Wales that wouldn't be available with a standard tour operator. The area we will visit is dotted with quaint old towns and picturesque villages which seem untouched by time. The South West is the home of Pembrokeshire coast national park, and is an area renowned for the beauty of its beaches and coastline. An example of a tour could be a visit to the wonderfully preserved Norman Castle at Pembroke, then lunch in the beautiful medieval port of Tenby followed by a stop off in Laugharne, the former home of the poet Dylan Thomas.

Wonderful way to see Western Wales

Published on Oct, 2024

Gareth's tour is a wonderful and efficient way to see western Wales, especially for those without their own transportation. Throughout the journey, Gareth shared his tremendous knowledge of Welsh folklore and tradition and answered any questions from us about the Welsh. [He uses a microphone so everyone in the van can clearly hear]. He is also a careful driver which I appreciated as it was raining off and on that day. We started with Dylan Thomas's village and the estuary with the Norman castle and Thomas' statue for a short stop. [As it was pouring that day, Gareth changed the sequence of the stops to fit the weather- much appreciated.] Pembroke castle was next and thankfully while on the castle tour, it stopped raining. Gareth made sure that we were there for the public tour that comes with entrance to the castle. This was very nice as I learned so much about the castle and its inhabitants from this guide. The last stop was Tenby which is a delightful town within a wall; there were shops to investigate and many places for lunch. I highly recommend Gareth's The Wandering Bard's Mythical West Wales Tour.

Excellent guided driving tour to southwest Wales

Published on Oct, 2024

Gareth is an excellent guide to southern Wales. He volunteered to pick us up right outside of our hotel and shared his knowledge and enthusiasm for the history, culture, and language of his beautiful country. He gave us a good introduction to each of the sites before dropping us off to explore on our own.

Great trip, a must if you want to explore Wales beyond Cardiff

Published on Oct, 2024

I booked this tour via GetYourGuide and was delighted. Gareth contacted me ahead of time to confirm pick up location. The groups was small (which I prefer). He was very friendly and informative. This tour is a must if want to explore Wales beyond Cardiff!!

Nice daytour out in the countryside

Published on Oct, 2024

Gareth was informative and provided much history of the castles. It would be good to have more time to enjoy Tensby since we had to wait till 12pm for restaurants to open for lunch and have more time to sit and enjoy nice lunch with sufficient time to shop around and take photos.

Highly recommend
