Le château de Conwy est une forteresse historique située dans la ville de Conwy, dans le nord du Pays de Galles, au Royaume-Uni. Construit entre 1283 et 1289 par Édouard Ier lors de sa conquête du Pays de Galles, il est considéré comme l'un des châteaux médiévaux les plus impressionnants et les mieux conservés du Royaume-Uni. Le château fait partie du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO qui comprend plusieurs autres châteaux construits par Édouard Ier dans le nord du Pays de Galles. Caractéristiques principales: 1. Conception défensive: Le château a un mur rideau massif avec huit tours et est conçu pour résister aux sièges et aux attaques. Sa position, surplombant la rivière Conwy, la rendait stratégiquement importante pour le contrôle de la région. 2. Murs et portes: Les murs sont remarquablement intacts, et les visiteurs peuvent marcher le long d'eux pour une vue fantastique sur les environs. Le château comporte une série de portes, dont la porte Est, la porte Ouest et la porte de l'Eau.
Le parc national Snowdonia est un paysage naturel époustouflant dans le nord du pays de Galles, connu pour ses montagnes spectaculaires, y compris Snowdon, le plus haut sommet du pays de Galles. Le parc offre un mélange de terrain accidenté, de lacs sereins, de forêts denses et de villages charmants. C'est un havre de paix pour les amateurs de plein air, avec des activités comme la randonnée, l'escalade et l'observation de la faune. Les routes panoramiques, les vallées pittoresques et les anciens châteaux ajoutent à son attrait, ce qui en fait une visite incontournable pour les amoureux de la nature et les amateurs d'aventure.
Betws-y-Coed est un village pittoresque situé au cœur du parc national de Snowdonia dans le nord du pays de Galles. Il est souvent appelé la « Porte de Snowdonia » en raison de sa situation centrale et de son rôle de point de départ pour explorer le parc. Le village est célèbre pour sa beauté naturelle étonnante, y compris les chutes d'eau spectaculaires, les forêts denses, et les paysages de montagne à couper le souffle. Caractéristiques principales de Betws-y-Coed: 1. Beauté naturelle: Betws-y-Coed est entourée de forêts denses, de rivières et de collines, ce qui en fait une base idéale pour les activités de plein air telles que la randonnée, le vélo et la pêche. Le village se trouve au confluent de trois rivières: la Conwy, la Llugwy et la Lledr, qui ajoutent au charme pittoresque de la région. 2. Cascades: Une des caractéristiques les plus célèbres du village est ses chutes d'eau, en particulier Swallow Falls. Swallow Falls est une série de cascades où la rivière Llugwy descend dramatiquement sur les rochers. C’est un endroit populaire pour les visiteurs et les photographes.

Poor communication. The provider had confirmed the booking through Viator, then No Showed. After frantically messaging them through Viator while spending 50 minutes looking for their driver or bus, we inally had to go through Viator to get a response and a refund. Lost the opportunity to visit Wales, as we were in port one day.
Good Morning Tyson We emailed to advise that the tour was not operating, and unfortunately you were unable to access your mail. As soon as you made contact with us on the day, I believe we suggested alternatives, and the process to obtain a 100% refund. Very rarely, due to operational reasons a tour is cancelled but we do advise gusts prior to travel
Overall, this was a great day trip. The bus was comfortable, and both the tour guide and driver were excellent. My only disappointment was the stop in Conwy. The itinerary showed a 2-hour stop, but we only had about 45 minutes, which felt far too short. I would have loved more time to explore Conwy Castle and the nearby shops instead of rushing through everything.
Hi , Many thanks for your comments. with a shared group tour we always try to find a balance of time and locations to visit.
Driver did not show up. We were on a cruise ship and when we went to the meeting site the driver was not there. We called and found out the tour was canceled. This last minute cancellation prevented us from booking another tour.
The guide seemed to be losing abilities. He insisted too much on making us listen to the Beatles' music too loudly.
Tour guide was Rob with Your Shore Time. Locating the meeting point was easy, short walk from Liverpool cruise terminal. Scenery is spectacular driving past the coast and through the countryside. Unfortunately, Conwy Castle was only accessible with paid tickets and partially closed due to construction and filming. Parts of the walls were shut and by the time we found the main entrance we were out of time at the stop. Proper planning would have the bus drop us closer to the castle’s main entrance rather than in town to navigate in the heat. The stop in Betws-Y-Coed could have been longer and the last stop at St. Asaph shorter. This would be a 5-star review if not for the frustration at Conwy Castle. Rob played some nice Beatles music along with some great points about the history.
We originally had a tour planned from Liverpool to Wales. A few days before getting on our ship it got cancelled. There was an alternative trip we found going to Wales and booked it. Stood at meeting point for a while only to find out that was also cancelled. They sent a message cancelling but, didn’t get it cause we didn’t have WiFi on the ship. There should have been an alternative arrangement. We wound up going on hop on hop off bus and road around city.
I loved this excursion!! I did it a few years ago. Took a friend with me this time to show her how great it was.
The local tour operator and guide were amazing. They love the area and were knowledgeable and supportive of a family member with mobility concerns. Viator was horrible- I would give them a 0. My tour city was changed last minute, communication was very very poor and they sent my self and a family member information related to bookings we did not make in different areas of the world etc.
Ed was not scheduled as a guide for our tour but was a very informative and well spoken gentlemen .Someone on our tour asked how he looked so young but really he did look like a young man .But was very worldly and took his time making everyone was comfortable and making sure all questions were answered. As he said no question is silly but silly if you leave the tour without asking the question Thanks Ed Caren and Richard Etengoff May 14th 2026
Tour ticket listed the Inclusions of: Driver and transportation. Visit to Conwy Castle. Drive through Snowdonia National Park. Visit to Betws-Y-Coed. There is an entrance fee of 15 British Pounds per person to Conwy Castle that was not provided or specifically excluded despite description of "visit to Conwy Castle". The tour Operator was contacted and he/she refused to reimburse cost of entry fee because we were taken to the Conwy Castle visitor center which was free. The fast drive in the Wales countryside through winding hilly roads in a crowded packed van was unpleasant and I developed motion sickness on the ride. My husband had a paid ticket but couldn't go due to illness (not refunded). He would have been very uncomfortable in that crowded van for 6-7 hours. The tour operator combined different tours together with different tour descriptions from several different booking platforms and cobbled one tour that was close to what was described.
