On this tour you are accompanied by a historian with a deep passion and knowledge of Wales. You will learn some Welsh, sample traditional Welsh food and learn about the ancient history and culture of Wales. Gareth, your guide is a fluent Welsh speaker and he will give you an insight into Wales that wouldn't be available with a standard tour operator.
South Wales is the most populated area of Wales and it is the area of Wales that is the most iconic around the world. This area includes neolithic sites, Roman remains, breathtaking waterfalls, imposing Norman castles, industrial heritage, dramatic mountain scenery as well as beaches voted as some of the best in the world. The wandering bard offers either a Valleys tour, taking in some of Wales's best known ancient wonders or the Swansea Bay option which shows off some of Britain's most beautiful coastline. Both are fantastic days out and have been given excellent feedback by 99% of customers. Please check which tour you have booked.

Customers need to be aware that there are two tours available. There is the Valleys option calling at Tintern Abbey, Chepstow Castle and Caerphilly Castle and there is the Swansea Bay option calling at Rhossili Bay, Mumbles, Neath Abbey and Melin Court waterfall. Gareth is the only guide so only one of these trips goes ahead per day. Please check your booking to see which trip you have booked. They are both the Wandering Bard's tour but one goes to Swansea Bay whereas the other goes inland to the Valleys. This has caused confusion with customers in the past.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Gareth was amazing! He had a mountain of historical knowledge and pertinent peripheral information. In addition to being interesting he was extremely polite and personable. He never rushed us and was extremely accommodating . He went above and beyond. We would absolutely recommend him for and this tour!!

The tour was excellent, we went to a lot of beautiful, very photogenic places. However, Viator needs to change the description of this tour. For some reason, two tours are listed as one on Viator which made it confusing. So I ended up buying the wrong tour. I rebounded though, and had a beautiful day.

Had a lovely time with Gareth on the Swansea bay tour. He guided. A couple of us on a wonderful walk around the bay and then left us to our own devices for half an hour or so (this was optional, others made their own way the entire time). Would recommend the coastal walk to Mumbles head too, with most did not take him up on. He gave interesting info into the history of Wales and the language. Overall a grand day.

A nice day trip that gave us a chance to see a bit of scenery, small towns and castles. Our guide and driver was nice and friendly, punctual and careful on the road. We got to learn a lot about Wales, history, culture and language. Many long stops gave a lot of freedom to look around on your own as well.

My fiancé and I really enjoyed this tour. Gareth was fantastic. He picked us up in front of the Hilton right on time. The rides in the van were great because he had a seemingly endless amount of knowledge of Welsh history and the language and all the places we visited. I’m a medieval history nerd so this was super fun for me to listen to! We were insanely lucky with the weather (warm, sunny, no clouds, light breeze) so this really was such a perfect day. The small size of the tour (ours was only 5 guests total) made it easy to round people up when it was time to leave each location. I wish we had more time in Wales to go on Gareths other tours. Highly recommend.

Abbey and Castles in ruins ... just very boring and uninteresting ... The Guide was very professional (he should have informed before getting in his van)...I wanted to visit the coast, its landscapes, cliffs, beaches and villages...here I am in the midst of horrible ruins ...VIATOR with its website that writes only in English made me take a stupid ride ... and I will never come back ...VIATOR sucks and the guide knows it...

Excellent! Gareth is very informative and attentive. Sites were fantastic. He also had a great suggestion for a delicious Welsh dinner and the name of an excellent Welsh whisky. Really a great way to learn about Wales!

First thank you Gareth! A punctual guide, nice, and with very good discussions (even in French he speaks very well! ) It was a beautiful day of discovery with many beautiful castles and landscapes of Wales. Must do if you are in Cardiff! Thank you Gareth!
