Day 1: London

Location: London

London - Hay-on-Wye - Aberystwyth. Departing central London this morning, we drive away from the city and into the Cotswolds area of outstanding natural beauty. Pass through charming English postcard villages, stopping for photos and whenever we come across a site of interest.

Crossing into Wales, we stop first at Hay-on-Wye, nestled just outside the Brecon Beacons and known as the 'town of books' thanks to its large number of bookshops. Driving into the Elan Valley and the Cambrian Mountains we can enjoy the scenery before reaching the seaside town of Aberystwyth, home for the next two nights.

Please note: Check-in closes at 09:00 on day 1 (tour departs at 09:15) - Stance 3, Greenline Coach Terminal London, Bulleid Way, Victoria, London, SW1W 9SH.

Accommodation: Bodalwyn, GwesTY Guest House, The Glengower or similar

Day 2: Aberystwyth

Location: Aberystwyth

Meals Included: Breakfast

Taking a day trip from Aberystwyth, we head into the mountains of Snowdonia National Park, and stop in the village of Beddgelert. Here lies the grave of Gelert, the legendary dog, slain by Llywelyn the Great. This medieval Welsh ruler believed Gelert had devoured his baby and so killed him, when in fact Gelert had been protecting the infant from a wolf. Llywelyn never smiled again, or so the story goes.

Our next stop is Harlech Castle. Built by King Edward I during his conquest of Wales around 800 years ago, this fortress overlooks both the mountains of Snowdonia and the ocean. Returning to Aberystwyth, the rest of today is at leisure.

Accommodation: Bodalwyn, GwesTY Guest House, The Glengower or similar

Day 3: New Quay

Location: New Quay

Meals Included: Breakfast

Aberystwyth - New Quay - Tenby. Departing Aberystwyth, we travel along the coastline of Cardigan Bay, through charming Aberaeron to New Quay. This whitewashed town is on the beach, and there's time to wander on foot - keep your eyes peeled for whales off the coast!

Heading inland, we visit Dinefwr Estate (or Carreg Cennen Castle if it is closed) and the ruined castle located here before making a short stop in Laugharne where famous Welsh poet and playwright Dylan Thompson lived and wrote his iconic work 'Under Milk Wood'. We then complete our drive to the seaside town of Tenby, where we spend the night.

Accommodation: Southcliff Guest House or similar

Day 4: Pembrokeshire Coast National Park

Location: Pembrokeshire Coast National Park

Meals Included: Breakfast

Tenby - Pembrokeshire Coast National Park - St Davids - Pembroke - Tenby. We spend our last full day in Wales uncovering the country's south-west. Take in the scenic coastline of Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, birthplace of the patron saint of Wales - St David. We then travel to the UK's smallest city, which is named after the patron saint. There's free time for lunch in St Davids before we visit the rural town of Pembroke, home to some well preserved medieval walls and a ruined castle. Returning to Tenby, our final evening is at leisure.

Accommodation: Southcliff Guest House or similar

Fabulous tour. Your guide and driver was great. Very knowledgeable about all the places we went to and while we were traveling to places of interest. He was very personable and has great seating of music too.

First of all the tour guide, Amir, was terrific! He made the tour memorable. He was knowledgeable, kind, funny, solicitous of each passenger, and a good driver. He took great care of us. I rated the transport a 4 because there wasn't a lot of leg room for my seat. I'm only 5'10 and my knees were right up against the seat in front of me. It would also be nice to have a cup holder so we could bring a coffee on board without spilling it. The food in the bed and breakfasts was good, if that's what you mean by food. I rated the accommodation a 4 due to one of the bed and breakfasts was up two flights of stairs, and it was a challenge getting my suitcase up there. But then I suppose I should have specified that this might be a problem. Otherwise both of the rooms were spacious and clean, and the owners were kind.

The tour was fantastic, it exceeded our expectations. The driver/tour guide Nic was exceptional. His driving was impeccable and his knowledge was unbelievable. His is a walking encyclopaedia. We couldn't have wished for a better guide, he was so friendly. We could not fault anything thus we gave it 10 out of 10. We would recommend this tour and Rabbies to anyone. When we visit the UK again we will most likely do the Cornwall one with them.

We had an amazing trip to the Devon and Cornwall districts. Our driver and guide Nic was the best. He told us so many stories and took us to interesting spots throughout the whole journey. I would thoroughly recommend this tour and driver.
