Fantastic tour of Cardiff
We were in Cardiff for only a long weekend, and due to other plans, we could only do a walking tour in the afternoon. That eliminated all of the free walking tour options, so we decided to book this walking tour. It was well worth it! Our guide, Rob, was super knowledgeable about Cardiff having lived there his whole life. He is a retired teacher, and you can tell he loves to teach and share his knowledge. He took us to all of the must-see sights in the city and gave us great recommendations. It was one of the best walking tours we have done. Highly recommend!

Terrific private guided walking tour. Our guide, Tone, was excellent and we learned a lot about Cardiff and Wales history, architecture, culture and art.

Very disappointed
The tourist starts at 3 o’clock when things you might want to see are not open.The tour guide was inexperienced, having only done two tours prior to ours . She was unable to answer any of our questions about history but knew where neighborhoods were and which were posh. We knew within 15 minutes that this tour was not going to be educational and wanted to go on our own but we ended walking from Central Cardiff to Landaff Cathedral with her before we peeled off. E spent a total of two hours with her but shea shadow than an a tour guide. Very disappointed it did not add to our experience in Cardiff at all

Fantastic Cardiff Introduction! Ask for Tony!
We took the Cardiff Tour with Tony on Sunday, March 22. It's been a month since our vacation, and our brief time in Wales has remained one of the best experiences of our entire two-week UK trip. Tony really made Cardiff come alive for us. Between taking us to the Torchwood Tower/Ianto's Shrine, Doctor Who hidden spots, the streak tour of the National Museum, Cardiff hotspots, and all the other bits-and-bobs about Welsh culture, Tony's knowledge was truly fantastic. He had great energy and was just fun to be around. Definitely recommend!

Relaxing First Day Tour
We had a lovely Sunday afternoon walk with our guide. She helped orient us to Cardiff. We visited 2 parks and she showed us places we could return to when we had more time. She told us how to get around in the city, which was very helpful for our 2 day stay in Cardiff. It was fun and informative to meet a local and learn about her experiences and recommendations in the city.
