“Absolutely a wonderful tour with our guide Nick. He was very knowledgeable and a great and very personable guide. The scenery in Wales was magnificent. The B&B’s we stayed in were very warm and inviting with wonderful hosts. Just loved having a full English while looking out at the sea. Location couldn’t have been any better. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone going to Wales and would definitely go back to the B&B’s we stayed in. Thanks again to our guide Nick from Rabbies for a wonderful time and to Viator for easy booking.”

“Weather at the time of pick up was appauling with flood warnings out and driving down the motorway was an aqua adventure. Our Bus Driver Ouen was a very entertaining fellow telling us many stories of his home in Wales and also where we were travelling to that day. By the time we arrived in Stratford-upon-Avon the rain had died down and we were able to walk around this beautiful part of England at our leasure. Even though traveling through the North of Wales was overcast and mist rain, it didn't stop us seeing and experiencing this panouramic area full of history and amazing scenery. Definitely travel with Rabbies again.”
