Trip overview
Venture to enchanting Wales for a delightful, seven-night journey that showcases the country’s Celtic heritage and warm hospitality. Enjoy first-class, elegant hotels, and set out each day with your small group to explore. Marvel at the dramatic, medieval glory of Conwy Castle and the formidable, 13th-century Caernarfon Castle. Behold the verdant beauty of Bodnant Garden and stroll the promenade in Victorian seaside Llandudno. Be awed by Snowdonia National Park’s rugged natural splendor as you ride aboard a historic railway to the top of Mount Snowdon and visit a fascinating museum in a former slate quarry. In South Wales, delve into the eclectic literary haven of Hay-on-Wye, packed with unique bookshops. Along the way, immerse yourself in authentic Welsh culture during a lively, interactive music performance, a visit to a family-owned farm shop, and a tour and whisky tasting at the renowned Penderyn Distillery. This engaging program features a professional Travel Director, expert lecturers and guides, and a generous meal plan with wine at dinner.
