We may be more expensive than our competition, but hey, you get what you pay for! We only deliver small group tours with a maximum of seven clients, and your guide is a long-standing, highly regarded, fully qualified Mountain Leader and Tourist Guide for Wales. 

This full-day guided drive from Cardiff offers a perfect blend of Welsh culture, scenery, and history. Pick up at the National Museum Cardiff, then head north to the Brecon Beacons National Park Visitor Centre for coffee and breathtaking mountain views. Continue to the charming book town of Hay-on-Wye, where you can browse independent shops and enjoy lunch before following the dramatic Gospel Pass through the Black Mountains—one of Wales’s most scenic drives. Discover the peaceful ruins of Llanthony Priory, then explore the medieval White Castle, surrounded by rolling farmland. End the day in Blaenavon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where the Ironworks and Big Pit National Coal Museum reveal the powerful story of Wales’s industrial past. This 9-hour journey showcases the heart and heritage of South Wales, from wild mountain beauty to world-changing history.

The cost of this tour includes entry to all the locations visited.

We will visit spots with the most astounding views and many interesting features on our journey. You will be able to spend time with the guide at each location, as they walk and talk about Wales, its history and culture or you are free to self-explore. We will return to Cardiff around 6.30pm, and likely a little earlier.
