Explore castles, mountains, coast and history with a Wales Blue Badge Guide.
Plan your Wales tourWhether you have one day in Wales or want to include Wales as part of a wider itinerary, I can help you make the most of your time.
Wales offers an extraordinary variety of experiences within a relatively small area. Castles, mountains, coastline, industrial heritage, market towns and cathedral cities all compete for attention, and it is not always obvious how best to combine them.
My role is to help you build a day that matches your interests and makes sense geographically. Some visitors want dramatic scenery and mountain viewpoints. Others are fascinated by Welsh history, castles and national identity. Many prefer a mixture of landscapes, heritage and local stories.
Tours are private and flexible, allowing the day to be shaped around your interests, pace and available time.
These are starting points for planning, not fixed packages. A private day can focus on one theme or combine several where the route allows.
Explore places such as Caernarfon and Conwy, with stories of Welsh princes, Edward I, conquest and nationhood.
Spend time in and around Eryri, also known as Snowdonia, with mountain passes, viewpoints, lakes and photography stops where the route allows.
Add historic towns, riversides, coastal views and local places that give the day texture beyond the headline sights.
Wales is not only about famous fortresses. Historic towns, chapels, industrial landscapes, riverside communities and local stories can all be woven into a private day.
Tours may be arranged from a range of practical starting points, depending on your plans and the route you would like to take.
Accommodation, stations and agreed meeting points across the region.
Useful for visitors staying in the city but wanting a private day in Wales.
Private shore excursions can be planned around arrival and departure times.
Routes and timings are agreed in advance. Some journeys are best suited to a full day, and some combinations may not be practical from every starting point.
A private tour should feel personal, informed and enjoyable. As a fully qualified Wales Blue Badge Guide, Liverpool Blue Badge Guide and Chester Green Badge Guide, I help visitors connect places into a story rather than simply moving from sight to sight.
Recognised professional guiding qualification for Wales, with interpretation shaped around visitors.
Also qualified for Liverpool and Chester, helping connect Wales with wider travel plans.
The day can be adapted around pace, interests, weather, photography and practical timings.
Experience with private visitors, cruise guests and groups, with clear storytelling throughout the day.
Every tour is tailored to the visitor, but these examples give an idea of the kinds of days that can be created.
Explore the story of medieval Wales through places such as Caernarfon and Conwy, discovering the Welsh princes, Edward I and the castles that still dominate the landscape today.
A day focused on the landscapes of Eryri (Snowdonia), including mountain passes, lakes, viewpoints and some of Britain's finest mountain landscapes.
Historic towns, riverside communities, local traditions and lesser-known places that reveal a different side of Wales beyond the most famous landmarks.
"This was one of our favorite excursions of the entire trip... Beddgelert left a lasting impression, and we really enjoyed exploring Caernarfon Castle. Our tour guide was fantastic and taught us so much about Wales' incredible glacial landscapes, legends of Welsh dragons, and stories that brought the region's history to life."
