5.00It was great to meet Gareth, whose incredible knowledge of Cardiff through the ages truly brought the city’s history to life. His passion for the subject was clear throughout the tour making a wonderful atmosphere, he shared fascinating stories and insights that we would never have discovered on our own. From historic landmarks to the hidden details that make Cardiff so unique, every stop along the way added another layer to our understanding of the city. As a crowd of 3, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Gareth’s engaging style made the tour both informative and entertaining, and it was amazing how much we learned in just a Saturday afternoon. The time flew by as we explored and discovered so much about Cardiff’s rich and varied past. All for a great price. Thank you, Gareth, for such a memorable and enjoyable tour, we would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn more about the history and character of Cardiff.

5.00Gareth was an amazing wealth of knowledge about Cardiff. Cardiff is a very walkable city with a history back to Roman Times. We even saw the ruins of the first century Roman walls. His knowledge of UK/ Welsh history was fatally fascinating.

5.00We had a 2 hour private tour of Cardiff city centre with Gareth. He is really amiable and engaging; He took us into the free part of the castle, into the garden behind it, into the civic area and into some of the main streets. He’s certainly got an interest in history and managed to impart so much information in a way we all found interesting. I and my two daughters (aged 17 and 14) all really enjoyed it and would happily recommend it to others.

5.00The two-hour tour with Dave in Cardiff exceeded our expectations. Dave was an excellent guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the city’s history and culture. He managed to cover all the key highlights within the time we had, providing fascinating insights and making the experience thoroughly enjoyable. We appreciated how well-paced and well-organized the tour was. It was the perfect way to explore Cardiff (even under the rain) in just two hours. Highly recommended!
Gareth is highly recommended!
