Our qualified driver/guides are all locally born and bred and passionate about all things Welsh. With an intimate knowledge of the landscape, history and culture of Wales, they’re ideally placed to help you get the most out of your stay in North Wales.
North Wales is an ancient and unspoiled land where history meets legend, mountains flow into the sea, medieval architecture meets industrial revolution, and an ancient language and unique culture meets 5-star hotels and a flourishing foodie scene.
Chris, our owner and head driver/guide, has been lucky to travel the globe in his previous career and realised that many of the so-called ‘exotic’ holiday destinations he’d visited couldn’t match Wales’ stunning scenery, diverse culture and fascinating history.
When Chris’s international customers visited the UK, Chris took them on guided tours around North Wales on their days off – they loved it so much that an idea was born, and North Wales Guided Tours was created!
So, why not come and find out for yourself why the Rough Guide voted Wales as one of the top 10 countries in the world to visit.
As a company, we are fully committed to the continued development of our staff and business so that you get the best service possible whilst touring Wales and the greater UK with us.
To this end, North Wales Guided Tours is proud to be a member of both Visit Wales and North Wales Tourism. Many of our guides are also certified tourism Ambassadors for Eryri/Snowdonia, Conwy and Sir Ddinbich/Denbighshire.
Behind the wheel, Chris is a full member of the UK’s Guild of Professional Chauffeurs – one of only 50 chauffeurs in the UK to have passed the Guild’s rigorous assessment process.

We spent a wonderful winter weekend touring North Wales last January with North Wales Guided Tours. My wife, 2 children and I travelled by train from London and Chris was waiting for us at Chester Train station for the journey into Wales and our luxury 5 Star Hotel. We then spent 2 days great days getting to know North Wales with Chris. Such a beautiful place – even in winter. As soon as we got back home to London, the guidebooks were out planning for our next visit in the summer.
Excellent private tour of North Wales arranged at short notice; reassuring COVID security and excellent local knowledge.
Chris was an excellent tour guide and put together a most enjoyable day out for us on our 2 days round Snowdonia. His commentary was most informative and entertaining, and nothing was too much trouble. We had a great tour!
We came up to North Wales in late September having had to cancel our trip to Kenya due to the epidemic. Chris met us of the train from London and we spent 2 wonderful days touring the fabulous scenery and sites of the area. We spent time exploring castles and deserted beaches that could have been in the Caribbean. We’ll definitely be back!
Dear Chris. We couldn’t have been happier with our choice of North Wales Guided Tours for our pickup from the Cotswolds, 3 days in North Wales and transfer up to the lake District. The highlight of our whole trip to the UK was the visit to Ashton Hall, the house that my ancestor had lived in before moving to America in the 1700s. Considering you managed to locate the Hall and organise a personal visit from the tiniest scrap of information I’d mentioned in passing – you definitely went above and beyond and I can’t thank you enough.
Seamless, friendly and professional service in a brand-new luxury Mercedes. Fantastic local knowledge too. We felt very well looked after. Thank you, Chris!
Recently we needed to travel from Bath to Conwy in North Wales in one day. Rather than have a plain transfer, along the motorways through the industrial English Midlands, we had a wonderful full day tour with Chris from North Wales Guided Tours. He took us along the scenic route, colloquially known as Route 66. It was fantastic and we couldn’t have been happier with the trip. Chris took us through stunning countryside – lush green valleys, rugged mountain areas, seaside and quaint small villages. We stopped several times for refreshments and photo opportunities. Chris himself was very pleasant to be with and gave us plenty of interesting history about various aspects of Wales. His late model Mercedes van was nice and clean and very comfortable.
We thoroughly recommend Chris from North Wales Guided Tours, and this scenic tour in particular.
During our travels around Europe over the last few years, we’ve been fortunate enough to stay in top end Hotels and get guide recommendations from the Concierges. The guides invariably mirror you: worldly, passionate and steeped in regional history. We so much enjoyed our time with you, including our compressed history lesson on Wales. Now I can go home and read more about your wonderful country.
