This tour is FULLY INCLUSIVE of ALL attraction admissions!

Luxury fully electric vehicle small group tour.

Your guide, Andy, is a Mountain Leader and a Green Badge Tourist Guide.

Caerleon Roman Amphitheatre is a fine example of a spot once used for combat and games, and it has links to King Arthur. We visit two museums in Caerleon, the National Legionary Museum and the Roman Baths.

Chepstow Castle is magnificent. Once inside its walls, you'll feel yourself taken back in time and perhaps imagine being a Lord or Lady from times past.

Tintern Abbey is glorious! Its ruins are a testament to a troubled past but now, in the Wye Valley, it is quiet and contemplation that is most often experienced.

Caerphilly Castle is quite remarkable! It has a leaning tower, just like Pisa! A fine example of a moated castle with towers and walls intact.

Caldicot Castle is set amid tranquil gardens and a wooded country park, the castle boasts a romantic and colourful history.
