We have 1 day, 2 day and 5 day tours, and tours which you can either create yourself, or tours that have already been customized that you could join if there are spaces remaining. Your time scale availability in wales will also have a bearing on your choice. However, if I were on my honeymoon I would want to create as many memorable memories as possible.
If you wish to make a booking with us, then we will do all we can to assist you in your travel needs, to and from your visit to wales. If you contact us with proposed dates and travel plans, we will guide you towards suitable flight companies and public transport that we would recommend.

If travelling from outside the UK then we would recommend having travel insurance for your own piece of mind. This would help you in case your baggage went missing at the airport, if you lose your wallet and credit cards, or if you incurred an illness or injury and require medical attention, or if you damage some of your electrical equipment. If you’re a UK citizen and passport holder the need for insurance may not be necessary as you will be covered for medical cover by the NHS, however you won’t be covered for loss of equipment or baggage, so travel insurance would be down to your own requirements.
Please use the following website to check all the latest requirements for Visa entry to the UK. Fill in your details at the drop down menu, reason for travel, and the website will tell you what requirements you need, and how to acquire them https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa/y

Electricity in Wales
In Wales the power sockets are of type G. The standard voltage is 230 V and the standard frequency is 50 Hz.
Which power plugs and sockets in Wales?
In Wales the power sockets are of type G.
What voltage and frequency in Wales?
In Wales the standard voltage is 230 V and the frequency is 50 Hz. You can use your electric appliances in Wales, if the standard voltage in your country is in between 220 – 240 V (as is in the UK, Europe, Australia and most of Asia and Africa). Manufacturers take these small deviations into account. If the standard voltage in your country is in the range of 100 V – 127 V (as is in the US, Canada and most South American countries), you need a voltage converter in Wales. You can also consider a combined power plug adapter/voltage converter.
To be sure, check the label on the appliance. Some appliances never need a converter. If the label states ‘INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60 Hz’ the appliance can be used in all countries in the world. This is common for chargers of tablets/laptops, photo cameras, cell phones, toothbrushes, etc.

In general tipping is not expected in Wales. It is very much dependent on the person. If you were a local, tipping would not be the normal practice, only if you feel that you were very pleased with your service at a restaurant, you were well looked after by the hotel staff, you gained a good rapport with the bar man, or the taxi driver kept you in good conversation, then a tip would always be appreciated, however it is never expected. There is no percentage of an overall bill fee expected. Usually some spare change is suitable. Please see the link below for a rough guide.

It would be advisable to get some British pounds before you leave from your bank or travel agent. You can also use an ATM at the airport as soon as you arrive. There are many ATM machines all over Wales that will be easily accessible during your stay with us. You may want to check what the transaction fee that your card company will charge. For example, if you are a non UK bank card holder, your bank will make a small charge to you for withdrawing money from a cash machine. This is usually a fee of about 1 UK pound. Some foreign banks may take a percentage of your overall withdrawl which is usually 1%, please see you banks terms and conditions. Also it is advisable to tell your bank of your plans to travel abroad, as they may deem your card to have been stolen if you do not inform them, and they may cancel your card during your travels.
Spending on a holiday or a weekend break is very much dependent on the person. Some people may be on a tight budget, and some may not have a limit they can spend. Some persons may wish to eat out every night, and some not. And some may wish to do some local shopping, and some not. What we do advise is that you have enough money each day in your pocket for our daily lunch stop.
