13 North Wales Tours & Experiences to Build a Day Around

1.From Llandudno: Portmeirion, Snowdonia and Castles Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 408 reviews · 9 hours · from $88Our pick

Llandudno to Portmeirion, Conwy Castle and Snowdonia viewpoints and waterfalls, including Mount Snowdon views, on a guided 9-hour day.

“The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the facts related to each site, we had visited. This tour can cover almost all of the highlights of northwestern Wales in one day and it is strongly recommended for those who do not have cars to go around. One thing I would suggest for the future guide would be, as an animal lover, it would be even better if we have a chance to take a picture of the goats and seals if there is one during the tour. Thank you so much and our stay in the Northern Wales will be one of the unforgettable ones.”
