Itinerary
Cross the iconic Conwy Suspension Bridge into the walled town of Conwy, one of Britain’s best-preserved medieval towns.
Your journey continues to the historic walled town of Conwy, where you’ll have free time to explore. You may choose to visit Conwy Castle (additional cost), see the Smallest House in Britain on the marina, or walk along the medieval castle walls. This stop is also the perfect chance to enjoy a traditional Welsh lunch, we recommend Fisherman’s Fish & Chips on the main high street.
The adventure continues as you journey into Snowdonia National Park, the second largest national park in the UK. In true BusyBus style, you’ll go off the beaten path and have the chance to spot native sheep and wild ponies before taking a short walk up the Ogwen Valley to capture some memorable photos. Many guests consider this the highlight of the day!
Travel through scenic mountain roads 'off the beaten track' to the picturesque village of Betws-y-Coed, a perfect place to stretch your legs and explore. Here you can browse traditional shops, pick up souvenirs, and take a look at the old train station that adds to the village’s charm. It’s also an ideal stop to enjoy a refreshment — perhaps an ice cream on a warm day or a hot coffee when the weather is cooler.
To top it all off, we make a stop at the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, one of Britain’s most remarkable feats of engineering and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This true icon of Welsh industrial heritage offers a chance for those feeling brave to walk across the aqueduct alongside kayaks and canal boats. Don’t miss the opportunity to capture a photo from the middle, with the River Dee flowing far beneath your feet.

Fun day trip out of Liverpool with a diversity of sights including an impromptu car show.
We had a great day sightseeing with Shelly the guide and Phil the driver. They had a funny banter with lots of sights and facts along the way. At all stops you get time to wander around and we had three main stops total given our shorter time (Snowdonia, Caernarfon, and the second longest town name in the world). The sights were beautiful and relaxing to see. Highly recommend!
If you are at the Liverpool cruise port this is the excursion to take. Anthony was our guide and was one of the best I have seen 10/10! He was engaging and also provided pictures of our destinations. The perfect amount of time was spent at each stop. Everyone who went absolutely had the best experience. North Wales is beautiful and the energy and enthusiasm that Anthony conveys is second to none. Even though Liverpool is often a stop associated with the Beatles, this excursion should be strongly considered- he even plays Beatles music on our way back to the port.
Wales is beautiful. The excursion covered multiple stops that appealed to me and my husband as we like small towns and country. Our tour guide, Anthony, was fantastic and we enjoyed his commentary and humor very much. Due to very bad traffic getting out of Liverpool, some of our stops were cut a little short but Anthony kept the group informed so that there were no surprises and, most importantly, got us back to our ship before our all aboard time. Anthony even shared videos of areas we weren't able to see because of the traffic.
Shelly was an exceptional tour guide! She was very clear in describing what we were seeing and also directions. She made the day very delightful!! Highly recommend Shelly as your tour guide!
Omg the best tour ever!!! They pick you up directly from the port and drop off! They took you to the most beautiful places ever! Love it!!! Will do again!!!
Shelly was fabulous! A great story teller, lots of information,, patient and a good driver! Highly recommend!
They ask you to be 15 minutes before departure time we were there 30 minutes before departure time hoping to get good seats. We were picked up from Chester. We didn’t realize it was coming from Liverpool. We were shocked to find as a couple. Therewas only a backseat and theseat in front of it available. I had the backseat. My wife had the one in front. I think it was the wheel hub or a box on the floor of her which made it less legroom for her. The tour would’ve been very good if as other customers on the trip agree we had a little more time in each place. It was much too, rushed The guy driver drove too fast and it was in a hurry. Everywhere, the commentary she gave most people again agree with us we could not understandwhat she was saying, most of the time she spoke to fast. As I said, we should’ve had more time in each place particularly as we got back to Chester at 5:30 when it should’ve been about just another 15 to 30 minutes in the main place would’ve been good extra. We have been on several trips like this with another well-known company. They were all excellent, but unfortunately, I cannot recommend this company unless they slow down a bit and have a driver it takes a little clearer and slower so we canall understand.
We loved our shore excursion to North Wales. All places we visited were beautiful and we had enough free time. Shelly was our driver and guide and she was wonderful.
Wales is beautiful and it was a great day! As always with tours we wished we had more time in certain areas such an Conwy and for lunch. The bus air conditioning was broken so it was very hit in the back.
