The historic route climbs over 700 feet from sea level, into the mountains, passing tranquil pastures and magnificent waterfalls, lakes and waterfalls, and traversing horseshoe bends - one almost a complete spiral!

Very good value and quality, but basically for old or disabled people. Some timings frustrating- not enough time on some stops/ too much on others. Should have included train up Snowdon. Hotel excellent food clean but too regimented. Bus driver excellent driving but no commentary.
