Nous commençons notre voyage avec une vue sur le monument le plus emblématique de Cardiff. Imprégné de plus de 2000 ans d'histoire, le château de Cardiff est une fusion frappante de fondations romaines et d'architecture médiévale, le tout au cœur de la ville.
Découvrez la grandeur de la plus grande forteresse du pays de Galles, le château de Caerphilly, entouré de magnifiques lacs et bénéficiant de la célèbre tour penchée. Ici, vous aurez le temps d'explorer sa riche histoire et de déjeuner dans ce cadre médiéval à couper le souffle.
Profitez d'un voyage panoramique en train à vapeur sur le chemin de fer de Brecon Mountain, en parcourant les contreforts du parc national Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons). Asseyez-vous et admirez la vue imprenable sur les montagnes, les landes dégagées et la campagne galloise classique pendant que la locomotive serpente le long de la ligne.
Niché au cœur du parc national Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons), le réservoir Talybont offre une vue imprenable sur des eaux tranquilles, entouré de montagnes galloises vallonnées. C'est l'endroit idéal pour ressentir la beauté naturelle de la campagne galloise.
Arrivée dans le bourg historique de Brecon, magnifiquement situé sur la rivière Usk. Profitez de temps libre pour déjeuner, faire une promenade paisible le long du Monmouthshire et du canal de Brecon, ou visiter la cathédrale de Brecon, l'un des sites religieux les plus atmosphériques du pays de Galles.
Découvrez les paysages spectaculaires qui ont fait de Bannau Brycheiniog l'un des parcs nationaux les plus précieux du pays de Galles. Au centre d'accueil, admirez une vue panoramique sur les montagnes environnantes, découvrez la faune, la géologie et l'histoire de la région et profitez de l'un des plus beaux points de vue du sud du Pays de Galles.

The itinerary is a great mix of castle, train, countryside and small town. I would just do it with another provider. The staff transportation provided was NOT comfortable. The vehicle was a sort of minivan-wants-to-be-a-bus thing. It was full, claustrophobic and cramped. The train was worse. It was presented that having the caboose for our group was a treat. It was awful. We were crammed in on benches facing the middle of the car. Im small and even I had to turn my shoulders little sideways to fit in. With the window sill dabbing into my back. You were trying to look out the windows opposite around those people's heads. No way to take pictures. It would have been a lovely train ride in one of the regular cars. I have taken alot of Viator tours over many years. This tour guide was pleasant but gave about half as much information as usual.
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback, Judy. We're pleased to hear you enjoyed the overall mix of castles, the railway, countryside and Brecon, and that you found your guide pleasant. We're sorry, however, that the experience didn't meet your expectations in terms of comfort. Our tours are operated in small groups, although we appreciate that a full vehicle can feel less spacious than you may have liked or expected. The Brecon Mountain Railway carriage is a heritage railway experience, and the carriage allocation can vary depending on the railway's operational arrangements on the day. We understand that the seating arrangement in the carriage provided wasn't to your preference, particularly when taking photographs, and we're sorry you found this uncomfortable. Your feedback here is valuable and will be shared with our team as we continually look for ways to improve the experience we provide.
Our Guide was passionate about Wales, and his enthusiasm really enriched our experience. Of Course Caerphilly Castle exceeded our expectations, the cute Steam Train was a fun ride and Brecon Beacons were great.
Pleasure to have you with us, Kelli. It was a fantastic day! Thanks for joining the tour and your lovely review.
Overall, it was a great and safe experience. Chris and Cathryn were amazing. Had a great networking experience. The places were incredible as well.
We are so lucky in Wales to have such welcoming attractions and beautiful landmarks. Great to hear you had a lovely day with us. Will be sure to pass on the feedback to the tour team on the day. Thanks for the review.
It was a brilliant tour with a fantastic guide. Went above and beyond when I left my cellphone behind. I was prepared to get off and they go on but they drove me back for it. The driver was a blast and easy to chat with. The locations were beautiful. I’d definitely go with them again.
Knowing Chris and Lisa as we do, we wouldn't expect anything else, Nicola - and I'm so pleased to hear you were able to recover your phone. Thank you so much for joining this Roam Wales tour. An absolute pleasure to have you with us.
We went on this trip with Roam Wales tiday. Our guide Chris was amazing and so knowledgeable. Our driver Lisa was fantastic too. Both so happy and obliging. The excursion was perfect, a good blend of walking, relaxing, seeing great sights and free time to export on our own. Would recommend Roam Wales to anyone travelling to Cardiff.
What a lovely review to read, Linda. Over the moon to hear you enjoyed your day with us. When I see Lisa and Chris later this week I'll be sure to pass on the feedback. Thanks again for joining the tour and the great recommendation to other guests.
As a couple travelling in Wales without a vehicle, this tour was a fantastic way for us to explore sights beyond Cardiff. The pick-up was centrally located and easy to find, and our tour guide was friendly and welcoming. On the tour, we had ample time to enjoy each stop, with a break for lunch, and numerous opportunities to get out and enjoy the sights. We particularly enjoy visiting the Brecon Beacons National Park, and this tour is a great way to see the park and experience the town of Brecon.
We thoroughly enjoyed the day also - and great to have you both with us. Thanks for joining and this fantastic feedback. Join us again soon!
Chris our guide was wonderful. Full of information and funny. The tour was nice and informative. Only gripe was that the bus was very small/tight for my husband who is 6’2”. Other than that, this was a fantastic day exploring Wales.
Pleased that you and your husband had a lovely time, Shawna. It was a fantastic day and great that you could join us. Thank you for the review, and wider feedback, which help us continually improve our tours of Wales. See you soon!
Very rich and interesting! Super talented and nice guide. Exciting and fun at the same time! Great planned day!
Tack så mycket för din fina recension, Carine! Vi är glada att du hade en så intressant och spännande dag och att du verkligen uppskattade turupplevelsen. Dina vänliga ord om vårt team uppskattas särskilt mycket, och jag är glad att höra att de hjälpte till att göra din dag minnesvärd.
Beautiful places to visit and great driver and guide! The variety of castles was good and Wales history was very informative
Delighted to hear that you had such a lovely day with us, Donna. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and rating. It is most appreciated.
This was a wonderful tour. We learned a lot about Welsh history and had a chance to admire nature in the National Park. Our guide Chris was very knowledgable and informative. We would highly recommend this tour to everybody.
So glad you had a nice time with us on Saturday, Sergey. Thanks for the great review!
