Overview

Your guide meets you at Holyhead Port, ready to introduce you to the magic of Wales as you settle into your comfortable Mercedes transport.

The itinerary introduces you to the best of the region and maximizes your time ashore, hitting all the key sites from Castles, to cliffs to the coast. If there is part of the itinerary you would like to skip, or spend more time at, you simply let your driver know - after all your driver knows the best routes and travel times of the region.

Your driver/guide will narrate stories that accompany this region, including its culture, Celtic roots, history and of course the language. You do not need to speak Welsh, but you may pick up a few phrases to take away with you!

Key attractions in the area:
South Stack/Ynys Lawd lighthouse and sea cliffs. Springtime is nesting season know for up to 14000 seabirds that are unique to this part of the world - Razorbills, Puffins, and Guillemots. The lighthouse and cliffs can be viewed from the ground, or if you are feeling adventurous climb the steps that are alongside the lighthouse trail, for a memorable photo.

Caernarfon Castle is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and known for its medieval military architecture in Europe. Here you can simply take in the incredible site by walking outside, and the atmosphere of the gifts shops and cafes that surround it. Or you can pay an entry fee and take a look inside.

Enjoy a drive through Eryri/The Snowdonia National Park. Here you can expect to be at one with nature, giant mountains, valleys and lakes. Perhaps even a legendary dragon! Plenty of time to stop and take some unforgettable photos of the region.

The thriving town of Conwy has its own UNESCO Castle, and if you are interested you can see the smallest house in Britian - Elizabethan trader's townhouse. Here you will have time to enjoy a local lunch, your guide will have some recommendations based on your preferences, and of course there is time to explore and visit any other atractions in the town.

A fun and final photo opportunity at the village named - Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch! This is a mouthful and luckily it is known locally as the shorter - Llanfair PG! After your photo, there is a final stop at the nearby gift shop, to take a souvenir home.

Board your transport for your return drive to Holyhead Port.
