Description

Discover South Wales in the company of a historian and native Welsh speaker, on this guided tour from Cardiff. After being picked up from your hotel, be whisked away to the countryside. Get a breakdown of the Welsh language and gain a deeper insight into culture.

Continue to Tintern Abbey, a national icon that is still standing in roofless splendor on the banks of the River Wye nearly 500 years since its tragic fall from grace. Explore the hauntingly beautiful ruins of a medieval abbey that have inspired artists, poets, and travelers.

Then, enjoy a walk around the market town and visit Chepstow Castle, the oldest surviving post-Roman stone fortification in Britain. Enjoy its stunning setting overlooking the River Wye and spend an hour here.

Finally, visit the 13th-century Caerphilly Castle, Wales' largest and Britain's second-largest castle behind Windsor. As you marvel at its massive walls, towers, and gatehouses, see how it stands out from other Welsh castles.
