"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."
