The North Wales Cruise Ship Special Adventure Tour has been carefully designed and created with your cruise holiday in mind. Not only is it almost half the ship's own excursion price, it is delivered in either a 16, 24 or 29 seater minibus able to navigate areas not accessible to those horrible, cramped, full-size "cattle-shifting" coaches! Vehicles are also new, sightseeing specification and executive standard.

The tour is also fully escorted and narrated with a driver and escort who will become more of a friend than a tour guide! Every passenger receives special attention and lots of freebies on the way - including your very own personalised laminated route map and itinerary to remind you later of your wonderful time with us.

Your tour commence directly from the ship landing stage (usually at 8:00am but don't worry - this is synchronised with the ships timetable. We won't go without you or get you back late!). You will, of course, be dropped back off with plenty of time to re-board your ship after your wonderful day!

We will take you to places in Wales you thought didn't (or couldn't) exist and your driver & tour escort will keep you fully informed and advised as to points of interest and general knowledge regarding the ever-changing panoramic views.

This Wales sightseeing tour has been carefully routed and planned with your driver carefully tailoring the day to suit the weather, atmosphere and ambience of the general group on board. This makes every tour unique, special and memorable and allows you to partake in as much (or little) as you feel comfortable with. You will never be put under any commitment or pressure to do anything that you don't wish to.

On your North Wales adventure, your driver and guide will keep you fully informed and advised as to points of interest and general knowledge regarding the ever-changing panoramic views.

We will enter the mysterious and legendary land of Wales in only a short drive and navigate to the spectacular Victorian seaside resort town of Llandudno with its spectacular pier. Time & weather permitting, we'll drive up the steep hill of  the Great Orme where we'll marvel the spectacular views and visit the 1,100 year old hidden chapel of St. Tudno.

Then it's off to the walled town of Conwy, constructed by the English monarch Edward I between 1283 and 1289 as one of the key fortresses in his 'iron ring' of castles to contain the Welsh, was built to prompt such a humbling reaction with its fabulous wall circuit of over 3/4 mile long and guarded by no less than 22 towers. It is renowned one of the finest in the World.

Conwy Castle is a gritty, dark-stoned fortress which has the rare ability to evoke an authentic medieval atmosphere. The first time that you catch sight of the castle you'll know you are in the presence of a historic site which still casts a powerful spell. When you go inside...well...need I even comment?

You will see many of the glorious wonders that North Wales is proud to offer, including Eryri, or better known as the Snowdonia National Park, which is the second largest National park in England and Wales. We'll exploit the vehicle size by navigating some of the most scenic and "Welsh" roads available, taking in as much of those glorious views on offer.

Explore Betws-Y-Coed, North Wales' most popular inland resort where the River Conwy meets its three tributaries flowing from the west, the Llugwy, the Lledr and the Machno.

Finally, it's a whistle-stop tour of the 2,000 year old Roman walled City of  Chester, with areas of interest pointed out (like the City Walls, The Rows, The Eastgate Clock, The Amphitheatre and the infamous Horse Racing Course.
