About this tour
A six-hour guided tour departing from Holyhead that takes you across Anglesey to Conwy, a fortified medieval town on the North Wales coast. Your driver collects you from the cruise terminal and transports you through scenic countryside, with stops at notable landmarks before arriving at Conwy Castle—a UNESCO-listed stronghold. A local guide escorts you through the castle's towers and ramparts, then leads you into the walled town itself, revealing hidden corners, period architecture, and quirky historical sites along the quay. The afternoon concludes with unscheduled time to explore independently before your return journey.

What to expect

Upon reaching Conwy, your guide joins you for roughly an hour inside the castle, discussing medieval life, architecture, and defensive features whilst you're free to climb and explore at your own pace. The second half involves a walking tour through the old town's alleyways and historic churchyard, stopping at notable buildings and landmarks along the waterfront. You'll finish with several hours of unsupervised time to eat, shop, or rest before departure.
