Sights of Snowdonia was an interesting trip. However the bridge arches at Conway Castle were too narrow to allow the coach to pass through.

Good travel office in the city centre. Plasant knowledgeable staff. Straight forward procedures and full explanations.

Optimum coaches are the best. Especially when the drinks service is present. That coupled with aircraft seats and friendly staff you cannot go wrong.
