About the Destination
A land of castles, coastlines, and a welcome sung from the heart.
Wales packs an extraordinary amount into a small country. Explore the mighty castles of Conwy, Caernarfon and Harlech, walk among the peaks of Eryri (Snowdonia), and follow the path to Tŵr Mawr lighthouse on Llanddwyn Island as the sun sets over the Irish Sea. Yet it's the people who stay with you longest. The Welsh are known for their warmth, their lilting accent and a love of song that has earned Wales the name "the Land of Song." Hear a male voice choir or a stadium full of rugby fans in full voice, and you'll understand why. Here you'll also hear Welsh (Cymraeg), one of Europe's oldest living languages, spoken every day and seen on every road sign. The first word most visitors learn is croeso: welcome.

Why visit this destination
Wales is at its best when explored at your own pace, and that's exactly what our private driver tours are designed for. Your dedicated driver-guide handles every mile, from winding mountain passes to hidden coastal villages, so you can simply sit back and enjoy the view. Wales also fits naturally into a wider loop of Britain. Begin in London and travel west to the Georgian elegance of Bath, cross into South Wales and Cardiff, then journey north through Eryri to Anglesey. From there, return by way of Liverpool, home of The Beatles, and the rolling hills and honey-stone villages of the Cotswolds. Or cross from Holyhead to Dublin and continue your journey in Ireland. However you shape it, one seamless route can weave together the very best of Britain and Ireland.
Unique Propositions
A living Celtic language, culture and tradition of song
More castles per square mile than almost anywhere in Europe
Dramatic landscapes, from Eryri to the Pembrokeshire coast
Private driver tours linking Wales with Bath, Liverpool and the Cotswolds
What truly sets Wales apart is its spirit. Whether it's a local greeting you with a cheerful bore da (good morning), a choir filling a chapel with harmony, or a village pub bursting into song after a rugby win, Wales has a way of making every visitor feel like one of its own.
