Caerphilly Castle
Caerphilly Castle is the largest castle in Wales and only Windsor Castle is larger in the whole of the United Kingdom. Considered to be one of the mightiest medieval castles in Europe, it was built to protect Norman/English interests in the area. Still an impressive sight to behold the Castle was restored by the Marquis of Bute and William Burgess, however, unlike their fantasy castles at Cardiff and Castell Coch, Caerphilly retains much of its medieval military might. Surrounded by a lake (much reduced since its heyday but still impressive) the castle seems to rise out the water with its most impressive element - a tower that leans at an angle greater than the leaning tower of Pisa - a much loved and prominent feature. Restored over 174 years, the castle is a testament to the work that the Marquises of Bute undertook to preserve the history that was contained within the property that they owned.
Castell Coch
Castell Coch (or the Red Castle in English) is a unique castle within Wales. Built in the Neo-Gothic style, this Castle could be mistaken for a fairytale court or a fantasy fort and is a real hit with kids both young and old. Indeed the Castell has been used numerous times in films and TV shows for that exact reason! Described by the historian David McLees as "one of the greatest Victorian triumphs of architectural composition" the current Castell was intended as a summer retreat for its owners, who sadly never visited! Designed by William Burgess for the Marquis of Bute, the Castle and its stunning decorations are not to be missed - nor are the breathtaking views of Cardiff, which can be seen from many of the Castell's rooms.

5.00Dewi was the best!From pick up thru drop off, he entertained, informed and engaged my family of 4 as we strolled through Cardiff and visited 3 Castles (Cardiff, Caerphilly, and Coch). I was struck by his wide array of knowledge at each location we toured. But more importantly, he gave a wonderful overview of Welsh history and more importantly, a better understanding of Wales’ place in the world and the heart of Cymru.
Great day.

5.00Could not have asked for a better tour guide than Dai. Not only was he so friendly and accomodating, you can easily tell he has a passion for what he does. Thank you so much, this tour was the highlight of our trip to Wales. 😊

5.00After reading the comments I much prefer this castle to Castel Coch for the magnificence of its ceilings and its unexpected interior decoration, among other things; its designer is truly eccentric, excessive but admirable; in comparison Castel Coch is a very austere castle with too many staircases;
Exceptional guide and driver

5.00Our guide, Dewi, was incredible. The level of detailed history that he gave us at historic churches and beautiful castles was amazing. He showed us hidden gems that the “podcast” tour wouldn’t have given us. He recommended an amazing restaurant for lunch. Then we asked him for some important places for my daughter who is moving here for university. He showed us the market, shops, and great restaurants and pubs!
Absolutely amazing
