Wales is a land of song and poetry, legends and dragons. Small in size but huge in heart, it’s home to mist-shrouded mountain ranges, surf-splashed sandy beaches, ancient castles, and lively cities. All of which are wrapped up in Celtic folklore and myths, some from the time of the fabled King Arthur and others much older. Our specialists are passionate about Wales’s landscapes and culture and can help you discover those aspects that interest you the most, from the rocky peaks of Snowdonia (Eryri) National Park to the welcoming streets of its capital, Cardiff.
One of the four countries that makes up the United Kingdom, Wales shares a border with England but has its own distinct cultural identity — one that it’s fiercely proud of. You’ll see the Welsh language everywhere, from bilingual road signs to tongue-twisting place names, alongside remnants of the country’s more industrial mining history. And the Y Ddraig Goch (red dragon) flag flutters all around you — especially on rugby days.
We can arrange a variety of experiences to ensure you get the most out of your trip to Wales. Whether you want to learn how to make authentic Welsh cakes, ride traditional steam railways through the undulating countryside, sail out to meet the puffins on Skomer Island, or take a guided hike up the slopes of Yr Wyddfa (Mount Snowdon), our specialists will plan a Wales tour entirely around you.
