Hotel fine, good tour manager, and some good trips. Some of the coach journeys to the railways visited were a bit long - a bit of tuning to shorten them would be a good idea.

Our holiday got off to a bad start. I had paid the deposit before the company told us that having holiday insurance was a condition that had to be met - I suppose it was hidden somewhere in the small print but that is simply not good enough. Then, to add insult to injury, the Company declined to offer us insurance because of our age - outrageous! Having said that the holiday was very enjoyable. Phillip, our tour leader, was competent and helpful. The hotel was comfortable and the food, while unexciting, was plentiful and usually well cooked. The coach and train trips were generally good (Llangollen a bit disappointing) and showed us what a beautiful country Wales is. Overall, good value for money.
