Hi, Jan. Your taxi to the airport was the best suggestion. Driver was a retired policeman... We chatted the whole way and it saved me the stress of trying taxi plus train or trains to get to Manchester. Never thought any tour would exceed WHW 2009, but the last two weeks have been the best experience ever! Cymru am Byth! Dymuniadau Gorau to you Jan.
Karen Conley, Quarryville, PA

We are very much enjoying Wales… We love the room. And the wine. Thank you! Also, given the temp of high 80s, it was perfect timing to get a room with air conditioning. Oh almost forgot. Our tour guide/driver for Snowdonia and more was Carl. He is terrific!
