Excellent experience
Page2013, Mar 2025
Peter was a great guide for our group of teenagers and parents, none of whom were at all familiar with the area before the tour. We all gained a good understanding of the area, enjoying learning about the city's Industrial Revolution past, and admiring current structures and views. Would recommend!
Very much enhanced our experience of Cardiff!

Peter was extremely knowledgeable, entertaining and enthusiastic about this wonderful place, Penarth. We went on our extensive tour on our arrival to Wales and it helped us put perspective and plans in place for the rest of our exploration of Cardiff. He pointed out the history, development and amazing recent transformation of the city and its surroundings, and gave us some tips, which we wouldn’t have otherwise discovered as to other sights to see. Thoroughly recommend!
A lovely walk and historic tour of Penarth
Elizabeth B, Oct 2023
This walking tour was really nice. Peter was full of joy and was super engaging. We learned so much about Penarth and it’s history as we walked from The Old Custom House, around the bay, up through the neighborhoods, through parks and promenades and after a wonderful two hours we were pointed to the pubs to catch the Rugby game. We chose The Bear Head. Made for a lovely afternoon and would highly recommend this tour.
