Also loved that John took us to see a waterfall at Swallow Falls. Harlec Castle was also great to see. My husband found the bus quite uncomfortable even though it was half full, it would have been awful if it was a full bus. The B&B we stayed at at Tenby didn’t have a very good breakfast (not enough food), and the hallway smelled like gas.

It was all good. Loved the castles and the scenery. Our guide, Francis, was brilliant. Might be good to have WhatsApp numbers for tour contacts as some international travellers won’t have a local SIM. Some B& B s don’t leave much time for breakfast before pick-up time.

Why visit St David's
A small city feel, big coastal scenery, and easy touring in Wales
St David's shows a distinctive side of Wales, with a compact center that is easy to navigate and a setting shaped by sea, sky, and open headlands. As the smallest city in Britain, it is an ideal place to slow down for a few hours, visit the cathedral, and enjoy an unhurried wander that still feels meaningful. Tours that visit St David's also work well for travelers who want variety in limited time, because it pairs naturally with Pembrokeshire coast scenery and the relaxed character of Welsh seaside towns. Many travelers prefer a group tour here because a local driver-guide manages the narrow roads, timing, and connections between key stops, leaving you free to take in the landscape. The fully guided style offers practical support throughout the day, while still allowing space to explore St David's independently, which keeps the experience both easy and personal. Many tours may also visit England and the wider UK, but the most memorable moments around St David's are rooted in Wales and its coastal atmosphere.
