Reisroute
Begin uw avontuur met een schilderachtige rit vanuit Holyhead, over de iconische Conwy Suspension Bridge naar de ommuurde stad Conwy, een van de best bewaarde middeleeuwse steden van Groot-Brittannië.
Je reis gaat verder naar het historische ommuurde stadje Conwy, waar je vrije tijd hebt om te verkennen. U kunt ervoor kiezen om Conwy Castle te bezoeken (meerprijs), het kleinste huis van Groot-Brittannië aan de jachthaven te bekijken of langs de middeleeuwse kasteelmuren te wandelen. Deze stop is ook de perfecte kans om te genieten van een traditionele Welshe lunch, en we raden Fisherman’s Fish & Chips aan in de hoofdstraat.
De tour gaat vervolgens verder naar het pittoreske dorpje Betws-y-Coed, een perfecte plek om de benen te strekken en te verkennen. Hier kunt u traditionele winkels bekijken, souvenirs kopen en een kijkje nemen bij het oude treinstation dat bijdraagt aan de charme van het dorp. Het is ook een ideale stop om te genieten van een verfrissing - misschien een ijsje op een warme dag of een warme koffie als het weer koeler is.
Het avontuur gaat verder terwijl u Snowdonia National Park binnenreist, het op een na grootste nationale park in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. In ware BusyBus-stijl ga je buiten de gebaande paden en heb je de kans om inheemse schapen en wilde pony's te spotten voordat je een korte wandeling door de Ogwen-vallei maakt om een aantal gedenkwaardige foto's te maken. Veel gasten beschouwen dit als het hoogtepunt van de dag!
Verken het charmante stadje Caernarfon. Wandel door de geplaveide straatjes, geniet van de historische sfeer en maak gebruik van de mogelijkheid om Caernarfon Castle te bezoeken (extra kosten) - een van de meest iconische middeleeuwse forten van Wales. Probeer eens te krabben bij de kade of dwaal gewoon door de straten terwijl je leert over de rijke geschiedenis van de stad. Deze stop is perfect voor het vastleggen van memorabele foto's en genieten van de authentieke Welshe stad ervaring.
Geniet van een korte stop bij het beroemde treinstation Llanfairpwll, waar 's werelds langste treinstationsnaam staat. Dit is de perfecte gelegenheid om leuke groepsfoto's te maken en unieke souvenirs op te halen om uw dag in Noord-Wales te herinneren. Een ontspannen bezoek voordat u terugkeert naar de haven rondt uw avontuur mooi af.

Our tour guide was Shelly and she and the bus driver made a remarkable team. She gave us so much information and entertainment along the way the trip was superb. The excursion was unexpectedly beautiful! You must do this if you wanna see different aspects of Wales. It was very informative. Well paced enough time to see everything and it stayed very interesting. No head nodding/dozing off on this trip.
Our tour guide was Frank and he made the excursion fun. He did a great job at giving directions, making sure everyone was ok. They picked us up at the cruise port. My only complaint because it was raining it was difficult to find the tour. We didn’t see anyone holding up the Busy Bus sign but other tour operators were helpful to direct us to the correct motor coach. All the sites were interesting and it would’ve been nice to have been told it takes 1.5hour to tour the castle vs going to get something to eat…but that didn’t ruin our experience because the town was wonderful to walk around. We did have two couples who were late and made everyone wait 45mins before we could leave, all because they misunderstood what time they were to get back to the bus. Frank was really good at trying to find them and I’m not sure I would’ve done what he did, they were lucky to come back when they did. The one restaurant recommended to us only took pounds so we had to eat some where else. We would recommend this tour/shore excursion.
Our driver Dylan was excellent and our tour guide Frank was the best!! Frank kept us entertained with funny jokes and great info about Wales and the sites we were visiting. We were taking a cruise and they picked us up from the port and dropped us off with plenty of time to spare. 10/10 Recommend!!
I went on the North Wales excursion through EF Ultimate Break, and we had Ann. She was amazing - we had such a fun time! She was adapting to the storm and showed us a great time. She was incredibly knowledgable, and I’m glad she was my guide. It’s been my favorite part of my trip to the UK so far. I only wish we had more time together!
More emphasis on geographical sites. Could have deleted one of 45 minute duration in order to expand time at the castle. Turned out we did not have enough time to meaningfully visit the castle and have lunch; should’ve been a two hour stop. Otherwise, the driver was friendly, knowledgeable, but could not provide more in depth tours. Made sure to get the bus back on time to get back to the ship as a shore excursion.
We completely understand wanting more time at the castles and for lunch. As this is a scheduled day tour from Holyhead, we do need to stick closely to the timings to ensure everyone returns to the ship on time. The tour allows for visits to both Caernarfon and Conwy castles, with stop durations listed under our booking details, and please note that entry to the castles isn’t included in the tour. We would love to stay longer at each site if we could! We’re glad you enjoyed the driver’s friendliness and knowledge, and we hope despite the tight schedule, you still had a memorable North Wales adventure with us.
This tour is was incredible. Frank was a kind and knowledgeable tour guide and drove us all over beautiful Northern Wales. I cannot say enough about this tour. The views were stunning and every town we stopped in was idyllic. Would highly recommend this tour!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🌟 We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your North Wales adventure from Holyhead. Frank will be delighted to know his kindness and knowledge made the tour even more special. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you onboard again soon.
Upon arrival it was a mess and unorganized. Because of this we never did see one of the items on our itinerary which was important to us. We thought castles were included but no they just took us there. With the limited time that we had at each of them it wasn’t worth paying extra for admission. I would never book with this company again just because of how chaotic it was when we got to the port. We stood around without anyone to help us for about 20 minutes and didn’t know what was going on.
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your experience, but we would like to clarify a few points. Clear instructions on where to meet are sent to your email 24 hours before departure and are also printed on the tickets you receive upon booking. Additionally, it is clearly stated on Viator’s website that admissions to the castle are not included, which can be found under the Inclusions & Exclusions section. We regret that this information was missed, but it could not have been communicated any more clearly. Itineraries are also subject to change, and this is displayed directly under the itinerary on Viator’s website. We hope you will reconsider booking with us in the future, as we strive to ensure all details are communicated clearly and tours run smoothly.
The tour was good in so far as you got to see lots of places in a short space of time. Our guide was Lee, he was knowledgeable and informative about the places we visited. But, he lacked some basic things. First of all there was no mention of wearing seatbelts which is compulsory in the Uk. We live in the UK so knew this but most of the group were from the US and didn’t wear seatbelts and nothing was said about this. There was also a stop to the waterfalls where the walk was uneven and slippery and got worse the further you went but we were just told that there’s a path up there and quite a few people were struggling and had to turn back and we had to help a couple get back and Lee was nowhere to be seen! From speaking to people who were on other buses all the above was pointed out to them and their guide was available to assist them. No issues with the tour itself but a few basic safety points need to be made.
Thank you for your detailed feedback — we’re glad you enjoyed seeing so much of North Wales and appreciated Lee’s knowledge. We’re very sorry to hear that some important safety points were missed. Seatbelt use is compulsory in the UK, and we’ll be reinforcing this with all guides to ensure it’s always mentioned clearly. Regarding the waterfall stop, all walks and activities on our tours are optional, as we aim to make them as inclusive as possible. That said, you’re absolutely right — waterfalls can make paths uneven and slippery. We’ll remind our guides to give clearer advice and support so everyone feels confident in deciding whether to take part. We really appreciate your comments, as they help us improve, and we hope we can welcome you back for an even better experience next time.
Rod and our driver gave us a fantastic tour of Wales. They packed in so much to our day, but it was just the right mix of history and scenery. Really enjoyable day and experience.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that Rod and our driver made your North Wales Adventure such a fantastic experience. It’s great to know you enjoyed the mix of history and scenery throughout the day. We’d love to hear — what was your favourite scenery or spot that you saw on the tour?
We booked this excursion directly with busy bus. There were five bus loads. We had the most amazing driver, Malcolm and our guide Lee had quite the personality. Was a great experience
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you had a great experience with Malcolm and Lee — they’ll be thrilled with your kind words. Our cruise excursions are very popular, so it’s fantastic that you were able to enjoy one of our full and fun tours. We hope to welcome you on another BusyBus adventure in the future!
