Jerry was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and took us to some really out-of-the-way places. Lots of short walking time in and out of town. Highly recommend it as an introduction to Wales! And lots of fun.

Our tour guide, Jerry, was delightful, and very knowledgeable about Wales. The Victorian town of Llandudno was enchanting, and Conwy Castle was magnificent. Then we were off to the countryside, and it was breathtaking. It was an absolutely lovely day,
Ambitious tour.

Aqueduct and Snowdonia were very impressive.. The different architectural styles in various towns was very interesting.
Be ready to surrender to the experience.
Gwenn_L, May 2024
The most memorable part of this experience was the ride in the bus. Be aware that if you book out of Chester, the bus arrives full from Manchester and you are given the last seats in the back. You may be separated from your travel partner and worse, given a seat in the last 4 person bench seat. This is not made for 4 adults. 4 middle school children, maybe. It makes for a very uncomfortable experience. It will override the stops and scenic details of the day.
Great day in North Wales

North Wales Magic
Liz_F, Apr 2024
What a fabulous day hosted by Frank our driver with style - , he was educational , entertaining and a few ‘ dad ‘ jokes thrown in for good measure !
I’m amazed what we saw - and very glad I did the tour rather than drive myself with some off the beaten track roads handled with great care and expertise by Frank . A great mix of stunning countryside scenery with coastal beauty and some interesting towns . An exhilarating day topped off with walking the longest and highest aqueduct . Highly recommended - don’t miss this !
Wonderful Wales

It was gorgeous trip to Wales for our family. The guide was brilliant, all places are absolutely amazing. We are full of impressions and fell in love to Wales 💛 Thank you so much!
Wales trip from Chester with BusyBus and Shelly
Alexander_T, Dec 2023
It was our greatest pleasure to meet such a wonderful, passionate and proud about her work, knowledgeable about every single street and stone in North Wales, very patient, gentle and an impeccable professional as Shelly of BusyBus. She was very punctual yet not in a hurry, letting us and other travelers to learn and move at our own pace while offering everything that was needed from a warm smile to a needed rest stop. The company uses a very comfortable, spacious and pristine clean mini bus driven so very smoothly and graciously and when needed parked in all important places with absolute proximity to all important key places. Shelly was very helpful in guiding us how to know the visited places better and get around as proficiently as possible during one and every stop. She took extra time and delivered us all very safely to Chester after the tour was over. I wish we could give BusyBus and Shelly in particular highest ratings possible and have more tour and friendly chats together. Shelly is a true star and you can trust us, your money will be well spent if you decide to see North Wales with BusyBus. Warm thank you from a NYC family!! (traveled on 11/24/2023).
Response from Host, Dec 2023
We have forwarded your review to Shelly. She is over the moon that she was your guide and driver for the day and that you enjoyed the tour. We hope to see you again one day!
A great day out
Theresa_D, Nov 2023
We had such a lovely day travelling around North Wales with our very knowledgeable driver Frank. It would have been even more amazing if we could have spent a little longer in a couple of places. Apart from that we couldn’t fault it.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
We agree with you 100%. We would love to spend more time in each location too! Thank you for joining us on the day and for taking the time to leave a review.
Best way to see North Wales
Janet_C, Nov 2023
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.
We saw some spectacular scenery and the beautiful coastal town of Llandudno in the evening light. Great for photos.
A very memorable day and definitely value for money.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Llandudno is amazing to see when the sun starts to go down. You were here at the right time to take the tour and get those views.
We are also very happy that you enjoyed your day out with us. Pop back and visit again one day!
Shelley, our driver and...
WAYNE_A, Oct 2023
Shelley, our driver and host was "unbelievably good" - how she managed the traffic safely but at the same time gave us tons of information with some humor added.
It was a very, very comfortable excursion.
I would recommend Shelley and BusyBus to everyone considering a day excursion into North Wales.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
A personal recommendation goes a long way to helping us show the beautiful area of North Wales to more people and for that we want to thank YOU!
We hope you join us for another tour sometime soon!
The Beauty of Wales
Cynthia_K, Oct 2023
Along with a great group of travelers, Jerry, our driver, took us to some incredible sites of northern Wales. Highlights included towns by the sea, Conway Castle, and the canals elevated above the valley. With Jerry’s interesting stories and well timed anecdotes, this trip was well worth the time!
Response from Host, Oct 2023
A lovely review! Thank you for joining us on the day. We certainly enjoyed having you on board.
We hope to see you again one day soon!
even with rain...still fantastic tour
Gwendolyn_H, Sep 2023
The day was a great one...we had pouring rain in the national park but the waterfalls were fantastic...I think the national park even without the weather helping was my favorite place. Oh and if course Frank, our driver, was very good!!
Response from Host, Sep 2023
We are not sure that we are talking about the same Frank as you.....very good? (hahaha)
A lovely review from a lovely passenger. Frank (the good one) says Hi by the way!
Great tour great fun.
Chris_S, Sep 2023
The tour was informative and humorous. The organisation and delivery were seamless and the time frame was excellent. Frank was a great driver. He was efficient and engaging. It was great value for money.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
No one has ever described Frank as efficient before! He will get a chuckle at that!
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your day out with us and hope to see you again one day.
Fun and informative
Heather_B, Jul 2023
We had a great day with a fun and informative guide, Frank. We thought the weather may cause a cancelation of part of the tour but Frank was flexible with timing and the weather cleared enabling us to visit the viaduct. Would recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
The wonderful thing that makes North Wales so spectacular is the weather. It doesn't matter whether the weather is wet, or whether the weather is dry.....it is always beautiful! You just need the right clothes for the tour!
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your day out with BusyBus and Frank.
Come back and see us again someday!
Great tour guide,...

Response from Host, Jun 2023
Short and to the point.....WE LOVE IT!!!
Thank you for joining us for the day. Come back soon!
Will never use Viator again . Ruined our holiday
Davina_H, Jun 2023
Viator sold me 3 tickets and there were only 2 seats available. My friends went on the trip but I could not as there was no seat for me. We traveled from Canada for this experience and we booked months ago
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Whilst we understand your frustration, it seems a tad unfair to give BusyBus a bad review when the fault with the booking lay elsewhere.
Amazing trip
Kjellaug_T, Jun 2023
Very enjoyable trip through the North Wales. Amazing landscape and history made alive by Shelly, our excellent guide and driver. Just enough stops and long enough to see what we wanted, from Llandudno seaside resort, Conwy with the Castle as well as Britain’s smallest house, amazing Snowdonia and the wonderful Pontcysyllte Aquaduct. Enjoyed every minute.
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Shelly is awesome and this is proven time again by great reviews such as yours.
We all thank you from BusyBus
great day out
andrew_t, May 2023
