What people are saying about Llanberis

Enjoyed our nine hour trip around a small piece of Wales. Chris was very passionate about his country and its history. We learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed his stories of Welsh history. The sites were what we hoped to see and the portion of the trip through the Snowdonia Mountains was breathtaking. Loved every minute of our adventure. Only advice would be a better stop for lunch. Very little choice and we were quite hungry. Highly recomend this tour.

One of the best tours that we frequent travelers were able to experience thanks to the wonderful guide Chris Brinkmann, who enthusiastically passed on historical, geological, geographic and philosophical knowledge to us with a lot of heart. The time management was perfect, the mood fantastic. Thank you thank you Dear Chris, we enjoyed your compagny and hearty regards to your Father, who can be very proud of his son.

We enjoyed our trip with Chris who was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Wales and kept us entertained the whole journey. We highly recommend this activity as we saw many items of interest that we would otherwise have missed.

Wonderful. Would definitely recommend. Guide is passionate about Welsh history and had wonderful backstory for each site we visited, really made the history come alive.

Wonderful guide! Informative of course, but also lighthearted and didn't mind sharing personal stories to really bring to life the beauty of the land.
