Day trip from Chester to North Wales: Llandudno, Conwy, Snowdonia, Betws-y-Coed, Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, guided.
“We joined the tour at the railway station in Chester and were across the border to Wales in no time. The gives a great taste of the stunning beauty of the landscape and architecture of Wales. The pace of the tour is good, with enough time at each location to appreciate what you are seeing. Snowdonia National park is breathtaking and the walk along the beautiful canal aqueduct, with its views over the valley was a perfect way to end the tour. Lee’s commentary is an absolute highlight.”

“We booked busy bus tours because we wanted to visit the lake district. It was the highlight of our stay in Chester. Frank our driver for the day was brilliant from the start he made everyone feel welcome his knowledge and sense of humour was simply brilliant. I would recommend this trip not only for the exceptional scenery but also excellent service well worth the cost.”
