Itinerary

By starting this Wales tour from Bath, you are perfectly positioned to dive straight into the castles and countryside of South Wales without the long motorway journey from London.

At Mad Max Tours, we believe the best way to travel is with friends you haven't met yet. Our small-group minibuses are designed to go where the big buses can't — along winding valley roads and into the heart of Wales' most charming seaside towns. Led by our friendly, knowledgeable driver-guides, this 5-day adventure blends magnificent medieval fortresses, three breath-taking national parks, and a visit to the picture-perfect Cotswold village of Castle Combe before we cross the border.

Monday

Your Welsh adventure begins at the Abbey Hotel, Bath. Check-in with the Mad Max team at 9:15am, ready to depart at 9:30am.

Our first stop is the enchanting village of Castle Combe — a place many of our guests already know and love from our Cotswolds tours. Often voted the prettiest village in England, its honey-coloured cottages and quiet, timeless streets make for the perfect start to the journey. Here you'll link up with the rest of your small group before we set off towards Wales.

It won't be long before we're crossing the Severn Bridge and entering a different country altogether. Our first Welsh stop is Chepstow Castle, perched dramatically on the cliffs above the River Wye. Dating back to 1067, this is the oldest surviving stone castle in Britain — and a fitting introduction to a nation known as the castle capital of the world. Take time to explore the ruins and grab some lunch.

From Chepstow, we'll pass the hauntingly beautiful remains of Tintern Abbey as we follow the Wye Valley south towards Cardiff Bay. Once the largest coal-exporting port on earth, this former docklands has been transformed into a vibrant waterfront home to the Welsh Parliament, the Millennium Centre and the BBC's famous Doctor Who studios.

We'll spend our first night in Cardiff, the Welsh capital.

Overnight: Cardiff

Tuesday

This morning we head north into the Welsh valleys to Big Pit National Coal Museum — a fascinating and moving tribute to the coal industry that shaped modern Wales. There's plenty of time to explore the exhibitions, and for the adventurous, the option to descend underground into a real mine.

Next, we journey across the rolling landscape of the Brecon Beacons National Park, with the dramatic Black Mountains rising to the east. We'll pause in the traditional market town of Brecon for lunch — a lovely spot to stretch your legs and soak up the atmosphere.

This afternoon takes us deeper into the Welsh heartland and on to the Elan Valley, a remote and spectacular landscape of Victorian-era dams, vast reservoirs and open wilderness. It's a place that feels wonderfully far from everything — Wales at its most peaceful and unspoilt.

From here, we wind through the Cambrian hills before descending into the seaside university town of Aberystwyth — widely considered the capital of Welsh-speaking Wales — where we'll spend the next two nights.

Overnight: Aberystwyth

Wednesday

Today belongs to Snowdonia National Park — 823 square miles of mountains, valleys and villages that make up some of the most breathtaking scenery in Britain. More than half the local population here speaks Welsh, and there's a sense of stepping into something ancient and deeply rooted.

We'll travel through the heart of the park with scenic photo-stops along the way, before heading to the coast and the magnificent Harlech Castle. This was one of Edward I's ring of mighty 13th-century fortresses built to control North Wales, and it remains an awe-inspiring sight today. There'll be time to visit the castle and find some lunch nearby.

By late afternoon, we return to Aberystwyth with free time to wander the Victorian promenade, take in the sea air and explore the town at your own pace.

Overnight: Aberystwyth

Thursday

Our Welsh tour continues along the rugged western coast. Departing Aberystwyth, we follow the shoreline to New Quay, a tiny harbour town of colourful cottages, sandy beaches and connections to the poet Dylan Thomas. Keep your eyes on the water — pods of dolphins are regularly spotted from the quayside.

Heading south through the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, we arrive at St Davids — officially Britain's smallest city. Don't let its size fool you: St Davids is home to a magnificent cathedral housing the shrine of Wales' patron saint, along with the atmospheric ruins of the Bishop's Palace.

We continue past the imposing walls of Pembroke Castle before arriving in the delightful seaside town of Tenby by mid-afternoon. The rest of the day is yours to wander the colourful harbour, explore the cobbled streets or simply sit with an ice cream and watch the world go by.

Overnight: Tenby

Friday

Our final day begins with a visit to St Fagans National Museum of History — a truly remarkable open-air museum set across 100 acres of parkland. More than fifty original buildings from across Wales have been carefully relocated and reconstructed here, spanning centuries of Welsh life. You'll find traditional workshops, beautiful gardens, native livestock and a genuine sense of how people lived in different eras. It's a wonderful, unhurried way to round off the tour.

After ample time at St Fagans, we begin the journey home.

Staying in the West? You can finish the tour in Cardiff (approx 2:00pm) or Bath (approx 4:00pm).

Want to continue to London? Stay on board, and we’ll take you to London Heathrow (Bath Rd, near Terminals 2-3) or the Holiday Inn Kensington, London. We aim to finish by approximately 6:00pm.

Please select your finishing point preference when booking the tour.

Great Experience, nice overview of Wales. Would book again. Highly Recommend.

The 5 day Best of Wales was a wonderful tour. It was small and we covered a lot of ground, but also didn't feel like we were driving for too long. We had plenty of time in each town/area to explore the sites, castles, abbeys, taste the food, see the culture, enjoy walks etc. Len was a wonderful guide for us. We'd love to book with GoTours again!

Wales has so much to offer and we are really pleased the five days gave you the space to take it all in properly. We look forward to welcoming you back

Fabulous trip to Wales

Fantastic trip. We saw so much in just 5 days. Everything was great, but it was made better by our guide -Claire. She is an excellent guide who gave interesting commentary throughout the trip. She also is an excellent driver! Thank you Go Tours and Claire

Best of Wales tour was amazing!!!

Just returned from Wales and one of the highlights was this incredible tour with Go Tours. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and I really appreciated the small group size of tours that Go Tours specializes in. Definitely interested in booking Go Tours in the future for my next vacation adventures.

Outstanding scenic experience and tour guide

Steve, our guide, was informative of history, culture, geography, and Welsh language. One of the best tours we have enjoyed. Diverse experiences from Coal mines, to lots of sheep sightings, castles, to the Irish sea. Accommodations and food were great. The tour guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. Highly recommend.

Wales is Beautiful & Go Tours UK Made the Logistics Easy

Highly recommend Go Tours UK and our guide, Claire. We learned so much and had a magnificent trip. Very convenient that they can pick you up/drop you off in London from the Holiday Inn Kensington. Our experience was so enjoyable that we're contemplating another trip with Go Tours UK to Cornwall.

It’s lovely to hear you came away with such wonderful memories of Wales and that Claire looked after you so well during the tour. We’d love to welcome you back for another tour to Cornwall. Thanks again for joining us. Best, Maya

Wales is beautiful.

Clare did an exceptional job driving and providing information pertaining to the area we were in. The big pit and st Fagans museum excellent spots to learn about Wales. Snowdonia is beautiful as well as the many seaside villages we visited. Pembroke Castle was amazing.
The tour provided at the castle was well received. This was our second 5 day tour with goUK. Starts in London. Endless sites to there as well.

It’s lovely to have you back with us for another five-day adventure. I’m glad Claire looked after you so well and that you got to experience so many different sides of Wales. From Snowdonia and the seaside villages to the history at Big Pit and Pembroke Castle. Thanks for travelling with us again. Best, Maya

If You Want to Fall in Love with Wales, Take This Tour!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We just completed the 5-day Best of Wales tour with Go Tours UK, and what an absolutely wonderful experience! After spending five days traveling through this beautiful country, we came away with a much greater appreciation for Wales—its spectacular scenery, fascinating history, charming towns and villages, castles, coastline, and especially its people.

The itinerary was excellent and gave us an opportunity to experience an amazing variety of Wales in a relatively short period of time. From the mountains and valleys of Eryri (Snowdonia) and the Brecon Beacons to historic castles, the Welsh coast, St Davids, Tenby, Aberystwyth, and so many memorable stops along the way, there always seemed to be something new around the next corner.

But as good as the itinerary was, the person who truly made this trip exceptional was our driver-guide, Claire.

Claire was phenomenal from beginning to end. Being responsible for a group of travelers for five days requires far more than simply driving from one destination to another, and Claire handled every aspect of the trip wonderfully. She kept everyone organized, aligned, and on time without ever making the tour feel rushed or regimented. That is a difficult balance to achieve, and she made it look effortless.

What impressed us most was the way Claire genuinely looked after everyone in our group. She quickly got to know us, paid attention to individual needs and interests, and did everything she could to make sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. She was patient, accommodating, personable, and always seemed to be thinking one step ahead.

She was also an excellent guide. Her commentary, stories, and knowledge of Wales added so much context to the places we were seeing. Rather than simply driving through beautiful scenery, we learned about Welsh history, culture, traditions, communities, and the significance of the places we visited. Claire made the time on the road part of the experience rather than simply transportation between stops.

And she made it fun! Over five days, a group of strangers can either remain a collection of individual travelers or begin to feel like a little traveling family. Claire helped create the latter. There was plenty of conversation, laughter, and good humor along the way, and by the end of the tour we had shared an experience together rather than simply followed an itinerary.

We also have tremendous respect for Claire’s driving. Some of those narrow and winding Welsh roads are certainly not roads we would have wanted to navigate ourselves! We always felt completely comfortable and safe with her behind the wheel.

This was exactly what we hoped a small-group tour of Wales would be. We saw an incredible amount without having to worry about driving, parking, logistics, or figuring out how to connect all of these wonderful places ourselves. We could simply enjoy Wales.

We returned from the tour with hundreds of photographs, wonderful memories, a much better understanding of Wales, and a real appreciation for the country and its people.

Go Tours UK put together a terrific tour, but Claire turned a terrific itinerary into an unforgettable experience.

If you are considering the 5-day Best of Wales tour, we would wholeheartedly recommend it. And if you are fortunate enough to have Claire as your driver-guide, you are in exceptionally good hands.

Thank you, Claire, for taking such wonderful care of all of us and for making our five days in Wales one of the highlights of our trip to the UK. Diolch yn fawr! 🏴

Hi James, thanks for such a lovely review, it sounds like Wales really won you over. I am glad to hear how well Claire looked after everyone and that her stories, knowledge and humour made the journeys just as enjoyable as the places you visited. I will make sure to pass on your kind comments. Best, Maya

Excellent small group tour

This is a great small group tour and an extensive overview of Wales. We had an outstanding guide who stayed with us all week, which of course makes the difference. The hotels that we stayed at were very nice and the pace was good. My only complaint is that there were no cupholders in the bus so we had to hold our water bottles. Trying to lay them flat made everybody’s leak. Great tour.

I’m glad the five days gave you such a good overview of Wales and that the pace worked was just right. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the hotels too, and that having the same driver-guide with you all week added to the experience. Thanks for joining us. Best, Maya

Wales great trip

We thoroughly enjoyed the Tour of Wales. There was plenty of time to see what we wanted and there was a lot of variety. Our guide, Dave was amazing. A great personality who was very receptive to the needs of the group. One negative was that the seat belts are quite short and very uncomfortable.

It’s great to hear you enjoyed the tour's variety and had plenty of time to explore along the way. I'm happy to hear David looked after everyone so well and made your tour an enjoyable experience. Best, Maya

Exceeded Expectations!

This was a special trip for me connecting with my welsh ancestry. The trip exceeded expectations. The scenery was stunning and the excursions exceptional. Our guide David was warm and funny, with a beautiful voice who sung to us! An unexpected bonus. We had a great group of people who were all respectful and kind. I had a smile on my face the whole tour and would definitely take another tour in future. Thanks so much David you were awesome and made the trip even more special.

What a special way to reconnect with your Welsh roots. I’m so glad the tour exceeded your expectations and that David’s humour, stories, and even a bit of singing made it more memorable. Thanks for joining us. Best, Maya

Basic tour made enjoyable by driver Len

Len was an excellent driver and historical story teller. Premier Hotel was less than desirable first night out. The other nights were clean and nicely located although Atlantic Hotel was a maze of hallways and stairs making it difficult to manage luggage. Wish some meals and more entry fees had been included. Overall, tour was as advertised.

Len will be pleased to hear that his driving and stories made the journey enjoyable. We were disappointed to see the tour described as basic, as a lot of care goes into creating our five-day itinerary and trying to include the best of Wales, from beautiful landscapes to historic landmarks.
We appreciate your comments on the accommodation, although we usually receive quite positive feedback on the hotels. Some of the locally run Welsh hotels, like the Atlantic, do have their own character and quirks. We also leave evening meals open so guests have the freedom to eat at the hotel after a long day or head out to try somewhere local.
Best, Maya

The best of Wales

I had a wonderful 5 day tour of Wales with Go Tours. Our driver was Claire and she was very knowledgeable, keeping us entertained from the morning until the evening with facts and stories about Wales. She had a great playlist as well to keep us singing along while she wasn’t talking. The hotels we stayed in were comfortable and in good locations and the breakfast was enough to keep you full until lunchtime. My favorite was the hotel in Aberystwyth- it was right on the coast and my room looked out over the Irish Sea. I kept my window open and listened to the sound of the waves all night long.
The stops we made were a good variety and length. I wish we could have had more time as there are so many lovely villages and old castles to keep you entertained for a much longer period of time. Claire surprised us a few times with additional stops as our group was always back at the bus early so we were running ahead of schedule every day. I do not have any complaints about the tour at all. It was a great experience and I highly recommend Go Tours for a fabulous Welsh vacation.

What a lovely review, it sounds like Wales really worked its magic on you. Claire will be so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed her stories and playlist along the way. Thanks for the recommendation. We hope to see you on one of our other tours. Best, Maya

Spectacular Short Escape

Experience: V.Good. My family and I enjoyed the tour.
Length of visit: 4 days, departure from Cardiff.
Driver Len was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. His driving skill on the roads is excellent. Top marks to him.

Hi Richmond, thanks for your feedback, glad you thought our tour was spectacular and your family enjoyed the week. Len has so much great knowledge to share and and expert at navigating those Welsh roads.
Best, Maya

Wonderful Time in Wales!

Our small group tour of Wales with Liam was excellent. The company had some last minute cancellations and still did the tour. There was only 5 of us and it was like a personal tour! Our Mercedes small tour bus was very roomy for such a small number of participants although we did have trouble with its air conditioning on the way back to London. Could not be more complimentary on the tour itinerary and our tour guide/driver Liam. He was one of the best we have every had on any tour. He completely looked after us, was very congenial and we felt like he was a personal friend. Great job Liam and Go Tours.

Hi Brian and Gwen, thanks for the kind words about Liam, sounds like he made that small group feel personal. Great to hear the tour itself was such a hit, thanks for joining us.
Best, Maya

A great way to see Wales

We were able to explore many parts of Wales on this trip. The scenery was beautiful and our guide took us to charming villages with much history. Our guide David was very informative. He told us all about the history of Wales and lots of stories. We thoroughly enjoyed this trip

Hi Samantha, Wales has so much history and great views. Sounds like David shared the stories well along the way. Really glad you both enjoyed the trip, thanks for taking the time to share it. Best, Maya

5 day tour of Wales from London

We did the 5 day Tour of Wales from London and thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
Our Tour guide, Claire, was an exceptional driver and guide and has extensive knowledge of the history Wales.
Claire was always cheerful and could not do enough for us. Thank you Claire for making our trip so enjoyable.
I would highly recommend this tour.

Hi Patricia, Claire's knowledge of Welsh history and her cheerfulness sound like a proper winning combination for five days on the road. So pleased she went above and beyond for you and your friends, thanks for the review. Best, Maya

Beautiful scenery in Wales

The Best of Wales tour was amazing! Beautiful scenery, & with our driver Liam he was the best 5/5 wasn't good enough for him, He was a safe driver through some very sticky situations & handled it with a bit of humour to make us feel better. We had lots of historical facts to hear, some great music at times, lots of fun & banter with mostly Aussies on the bus. This is the second Go Tours trip & it was equal to the first one I would recommend this company to everyone. They have been excellent.

Dear L0ne49,
Sounds like Liam earned every bit of that praise, keeping things steady (and funny) through the tricky bits is a proper skill. Lovely to hear the Aussie banter was in full swing too, and that this one matched up to your first trip with us. Thanks for coming back and for recommending us on.
Thanks, Maya

Mark D
The best if Wales

Great trip overall. Liam was a great driver, history teacher, DJ (and comedian). Always helpful and accommodating he made the drives enjoyable and prepared us for what we were about to see. Another pair on the trip had been in a previous go tours excursion and were similarly please with that one also. I would recommend both Liam and go tours.

Dear Mark,
Sounds like Liam covered every job on the bus, driver, historian, DJ and comedian all in one. Lovely to hear you had repeat Go Tours guests alongside you too. We appreciate you recommending both Liam and the company.
Thanks, Maya

Fantastic experience

This trip was fantastic. Liam was our driver and guide and he was one of the best I have ever toured with. He was a wealth of knowledge, drove safely, had a great sense of humour and had us laughing constantly. Also had a great sound track to play during the trip.

Dear Ross,
Liam clearly brought his A game on this one, knowledge, safe driving and a good soundtrack is a hard combination to beat. Thanks for the kind words and for spending five days with us in Wales.
Thanks, Maya

If you want to see the real Wales, go with Go Tours.

We really enjoyed traveling in our comfortable 16 passenger Mercedes van through the backcountry of Wales on our five day trip from London. Traveling and visited many places that the big buses do not even thinking of getting to. We traveled through all three of Wales beautiful national parks plus many small villages and towns. Stayed overnight in Cardiff, Aberystwyth, and Tenby. Hotels which were very good. Nothing real special. Tenby hotel on the ocean was our favorite. Liam our driver/guide did a great job describing where we were and what we were seeing. Played all different types of music including many Welch and Irish pieces to help us enjoy our trip. He even played an American group for me. I highly recommend this trip and Go Tours. It’s the typical large group trip that you may have been onCurrently we are on their five day Cotswold and Cornwall trip which I will review next week.

Dear Bob,
That's exactly what our small minibuses are for, getting into the backcountry the big buses can't touch, and three national parks in five days is a proper deep dive into Wales. Sounds like Liam had the soundtrack well sorted too, nice touch throwing in something American for you. Enjoy the Cotswolds and Cornwall trip!
Thanks, Maya

Frequently asked questions

Can I bring luggage?

Each person may bring one suitcase and one carry-on item, such as a backpack. We ask that your suitcase does not exceed 15kg in weight, due to our minibus weight restrictions. If your luggage is too heavy, then we may not be able to accept it. Excess luggage can be stored at the Abbey Hotel, Bath.

Why does Wales have so many castles?

Wales has more castles per square mile than any other European country, with over 600 recorded sites. This concentration stems from centuries of conflict between Welsh princes and English kings, each building fortifications to defend and control territory. On this tour, you'll visit some of the finest examples and hear the stories behind their walls.

Do I need to be very fit to enjoy this tour?

Not at all. The tour is designed for a comfortable, relaxed pace. There are opportunities for short walks and exploring, but you're always free to take things at your own speed. There's plenty of time for a sit-down with a cuppa if that's more your style.

What's the group size?

A maximum of 16 guests. We keep things small and personal to ensure everyone has a relaxed, enjoyable experience — exactly what Mad Max Tours has been known for since 1991.

Can I get to Bath easily from London?

Absolutely. Direct Great Western Railway trains from London Paddington reach Bath Spa in around 80 minutes. Our meeting point is a short walk from the station.

Is this the same tour as the Best of Wales from London?

This tour follows the same Welsh itinerary as our sister company Go Tours UK's Best of Wales tour from London. The difference is that you join the group from Bath rather than London, beginning your adventure with a visit to Castle Combe before heading into Wales. Same experience, same small group, just a more convenient starting point if you're based in Bath or the South West.
