“We didn't have the usual guide, so the review reflects his sub who was pretty good. Our main problem was lunch, as we were dropped at a shopping place that had lots of nontourist items, and where lunch options were limited and while we had said in advance that my husband needed to be gluten free, there was only a baked potato he could eat. Our guide accommodated our wishes for him to have real food options so we backtracked to search on Google for a gluten free place in the local town. It may be that because he was a sub he just wasn't prepared.”
8-hour private shore excursion from Holyhead to Conwy UNESCO walls, Menai Bridge, Snowdonia viewpoints, plus slate mine and castles.
