Lee was a great tour guide and driver - he also had lots of history trivia about places we went to, and he had a great sense of humor. The music playlist he provided while traveling was fun. Lots of beautiful scenery and a castle. Wish we could have spent more time in Conwy, though.

My partner and I had a great time on this tour, lucked out with some amazing weather for the castle, and loved Lee! Great tour, would still have been lovely on an all overcast day. Great mix of exploring towns, nature, and castles! Definitely recommend :)

Wonderful day touring with our guide Jean. Only suggestion I would make is eliminate stop at Betws y and spend more time in Conwy. We missed so much of the lovely town and would have preferred to find a cafe there for lunch.
