## What our customers say

-   ★★★★★

    Coming from the USA, my wife and I knew very little about the history or geography of North Wales. We shared our general interests and preferences with John in advance, allowing him to create a bespoke tour just for the two of us. He responded with an itinerary perfectly aligned with our tastes, and after a few thoughtful tweaks back and forth, he finalized a full-day experience that included a wonderful variety of elements.

    John picked us up at our hotel in a clean, comfortable Mercedes van, complete with water and Welsh treats. We hit it off immediately as he shared his deep love and knowledge of Wales during the drive. He even taught us a few Welsh phrases along the way—an amusing and memorable addition, especially as we struggled to pronounce them.

    John struck the perfect balance between historical education and engaging anecdotes, which truly enriched our experience. He is flexible, good-humored, and—most importantly—kind. During our excursion, he stopped to give an injured elderly man we encountered along the roadside a lift back to his home, something we fully supported. That simple act showed us who John really is as a person and reflected the way the Welsh look out for one another. It is a moment we will never forget.

    John made North Wales the highlight of our U.K. trip. If you want to experience North Wales in an immersive and meaningful way, we cannot recommend Celticos highly enough.

-   ★★★★★

    We had an incredible experience touring Anglesey and the surrounding area with John. From the very start, his communication was excellent, making everything smooth and easy to plan. Our group ranged in age from our children (10, 11, and 12) to my 75-year-old mother, who had never traveled abroad before, and John was wonderfully accommodating to everyone. His deep knowledge, thoughtful approach, and great sense of fun made the day engaging for all of us—our kids especially loved him. He also partnered with a colleague to help weave in our family's ancestry, which made the day uniquely meaningful. It was truly a special experience that we will always remember.

    Wow! Stop scrolling for guides and book John directly! I was fortunate to find John who expertly put together a custom first time visit to Wales tour with a special emphasis on my family ancestry. I was short on time (just one day), and John not only brought the local knowledge, language and expertise, but the energy to cover over 200 miles to visit a wide variety of spots from castles, to cultural icons, to natural wonders, cute villages and local food specialties. John also squeezed in sites relevant to my ancestry, even texting along the way a genealogy colleague who provided a missing piece to the puzzle! John is charismatic, funny and an excellent guide. Flexible and imaginative all along the way. He was still sending me ideas of things to do the next day! I couldn't have been more thrilled with the experience in John's capable hands.

    Entrusting someone out of the blue with such an important experience can be stressful - but I will be back one day and John is my first call. Don't hesitate!

    Thank you John for making my trip so memorable!

    John was an amazing tour guide! He was very knowledgeable, professional and showed us things we never would have experienced without him!!! He gave us a lot of history of Wales in a fun way! I've been on a lot of tours and this one was 100% the best ever! Give him a try. You won't be disappointed!!!

-   ★★★★★

    John Pritchard was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable, friendly and loves his country! Highly recommend John. Our best tour guide of our 18 day visit to the British Isles.

-   ★★★★★

    Our experience with John and Celticos Tours was beyond amazing! We've had the pleasure of touring with John twice in 3 years and he absolutely nailed everything we wanted to do and see. We saw the beautiful small towns of Wales, one cuter and more inviting than the next. Our hikes took us to gorgeous waterfalls, historic seaside lighthouses, churches, and more… all with stunning views.

    To say the people of Wales are friendly is an understatement. From the Sunday Pot Roasts in the local pubs (best EVER!), to the bakeries, to every small business, they couldn't be more accommodating. We were lucky enough to be in Wales for 6 days, starting from breathtaking Anglesey, to Wrexham (where we were invited to go on the pitch!), through Snowdonia, to the world's highest aqueduct, down to Tenby… where we had very high expectations and we were not at all disappointed! Our accommodations were second to none, yet very affordable, with beautiful countryside inns, seaside spas, and waterfront homes, which were all unbelievably comfortable.

    After seeing South Wales, we toured the picturesque coast back to Anglesey, where our tour would sadly end. It was such an amazing trip because John is a one of a kind tour guide, who makes you feel right at home. His love for his wonderful country makes touring with him an experience we've never had in all of our travels. Thanks to John, we are already planning our next trip back to Wales. There's always more to see and do!

-   ★★★★★

    John was a wonderful tour guide. He showed us the best of North Wales. He provided the right amount of education, humor and general talk. He was respectful and prompt every morning. We 100% would recommend.

-   ★★★★★

    Our group of 6 women from the US spent the most magical week being guided around Wales by John Pritchard and Celticos Tours. During the months before, over Zoom and email, he helped us plan the a custom itinerary. Then, he met us when we arrived by ferry from Dublin, and took us exploring the tidal coasts, ancient castles, short hikes and quaint villages of North Wales and Snowdonia. We then headed south, stopping in Tenby, and ending in Cardiff. He is very knowledgeable about the country and culture, is fluent is Welsh (and made sure we learned a few words!), and would tinker with the itinerary as we went to accommodate our interests and curiosity.

    Throughout, he safely navigated us on Wales' tiny back roads in his comfy Mercedes van, and was just a pure joy to spend a week with. We can't imagine seeing Wales with anyone else, and some of us are planning to go back with family to introduce them to this special country. And, we'll go with Celticos. Excellent all around, and we are grateful to John for helping us have such an amazing trip.

-   ★★★★★

    John was the perfect guide for our American group. His love and knowledge of Wales was boundless. Such the right balance of education/facts with letting us socialize. He was flexible and kind and always good-humored. Vehicle was clean, and we got complimentary water and Welsh treats, plus some fun sampling of the language. John made Wales the highlight of our U.K. tour. We all want to visit again!

    Celticos was a superb experience. Our specific needs were met throughout the day and we were given a fantastic tour of north wales with historical insights, beauty spots and cultural experiences. We couldn't recommend Celticos highly enough.

## What our customers say

-   ★★★★★

    ### Hands down, this is THE tour guide for North Wales.

    Coming from the USA, my wife and I knew very little about the history or geography of North Wales. We shared our general interests and preferences with John in advance, allowing him to create a bespoke tour just for the two of us. He responded with an itinerary perfectly aligned with our tastes, and after a few thoughtful tweaks back and forth, he finalized a full-day experience that included a wonderful variety of elements.

    John picked us up at our hotel in a clean, comfortable Mercedes van, complete with water and Welsh treats. We hit it off immediately as he shared his deep love and knowledge of Wales during the drive. He even taught us a few Welsh phrases along the way—an amusing and memorable addition, especially as we struggled to pronounce them.

    John struck the perfect balance between historical education and engaging anecdotes, which truly enriched our experience. He is flexible, good-humored, and—most importantly—kind. During our excursion, he stopped to give an injured elderly man we encountered along the roadside a lift back to his home, something we fully supported. That simple act showed us who John really is as a person and reflected the way the Welsh look out for one another. It is a moment we will never forget.

    John made North Wales the highlight of our U.K. trip. If you want to experience North Wales in an immersive and meaningful way, we cannot recommend Celticos highly enough.

-   ★★★★★

    ### We had an incredible experience

    We had an incredible experience touring Anglesey and the surrounding area with John. From the very start, his communication was excellent, making everything smooth and easy to plan. Our group ranged in age from our children (10, 11, and 12) to my 75-year-old mother, who had never traveled abroad before, and John was wonderfully accommodating to everyone. His deep knowledge, thoughtful approach, and great sense of fun made the day engaging for all of us—our kids especially loved him. He also partnered with a colleague to help weave in our family's ancestry, which made the day uniquely meaningful. It was truly a special experience that we will always remember.

-   ★★★★★

    ### Stop searching - book it!

    Wow! Stop scrolling for guides and book John directly! I was fortunate to find John who expertly put together a custom first time visit to Wales tour with a special emphasis on my family ancestry. I was short on time (just one day), and John not only brought the local knowledge, language and expertise, but the energy to cover over 200 miles to visit a wide variety of spots from castles, to cultural icons, to natural wonders, cute villages and local food specialties. John also squeezed in sites relevant to my ancestry, even texting along the way a genealogy colleague who provided a missing piece to the puzzle! John is charismatic, funny and an excellent guide. Flexible and imaginative all along the way. He was still sending me ideas of things to do the next day! I couldn't have been more thrilled with the experience in John's capable hands.

    Entrusting someone out of the blue with such an important experience can be stressful - but I will be back one day and John is my first call. Don't hesitate!

    Thank you John for making my trip so memorable!

    ### Amazing tour of Wales

    John was an amazing tour guide! He was very knowledgeable, professional and showed us things we never would have experienced without him!!! He gave us a lot of history of Wales in a fun way! I've been on a lot of tours and this one was 100% the best ever! Give him a try. You won't be disappointed!!!

-   ★★★★★

    ### Hands down best guide of our 18 day trip to the British Isles!

    John Pritchard was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable, friendly and loves his country! Highly recommend John. Our best tour guide of our 18 day visit to the British Isles.

-   ★★★★★

    ### Beyond amazing - we keep coming back!

    Our experience with John and Celticos Tours was beyond amazing! We've had the pleasure of touring with John twice in 3 years and he absolutely nailed everything we wanted to do and see. We saw the beautiful small towns of Wales, one cuter and more inviting than the next. Our hikes took us to gorgeous waterfalls, historic seaside lighthouses, churches, and more… all with stunning views.

    To say the people of Wales are friendly is an understatement. From the Sunday Pot Roasts in the local pubs (best EVER!), to the bakeries, to every small business, they couldn't be more accommodating. We were lucky enough to be in Wales for 6 days, starting from breathtaking Anglesey, to Wrexham (where we were invited to go on the pitch!), through Snowdonia, to the world's highest aqueduct, down to Tenby… where we had very high expectations and we were not at all disappointed! Our accommodations were second to none, yet very affordable, with beautiful countryside inns, seaside spas, and waterfront homes, which were all unbelievably comfortable.

    After seeing South Wales, we toured the picturesque coast back to Anglesey, where our tour would sadly end. It was such an amazing trip because John is a one of a kind tour guide, who makes you feel right at home. His love for his wonderful country makes touring with him an experience we've never had in all of our travels. Thanks to John, we are already planning our next trip back to Wales. There's always more to see and do!

    ### 100% would recommend

    John was a wonderful tour guide. He showed us the best of North Wales. He provided the right amount of education, humor and general talk. He was respectful and prompt every morning. We 100% would recommend.

    ### The most magical week

    Our group of 6 women from the US spent the most magical week being guided around Wales by John Pritchard and Celticos Tours. During the months before, over Zoom and email, he helped us plan the a custom itinerary. Then, he met us when we arrived by ferry from Dublin, and took us exploring the tidal coasts, ancient castles, short hikes and quaint villages of North Wales and Snowdonia. We then headed south, stopping in Tenby, and ending in Cardiff. He is very knowledgeable about the country and culture, is fluent is Welsh (and made sure we learned a few words!), and would tinker with the itinerary as we went to accommodate our interests and curiosity.

    Throughout, he safely navigated us on Wales' tiny back roads in his comfy Mercedes van, and was just a pure joy to spend a week with. We can't imagine seeing Wales with anyone else, and some of us are planning to go back with family to introduce them to this special country. And, we'll go with Celticos. Excellent all around, and we are grateful to John for helping us have such an amazing trip.

    ### Best guide ever.

    John was the perfect guide for our American group. His love and knowledge of Wales was boundless. Such the right balance of education/facts with letting us socialize. He was flexible and kind and always good-humored. Vehicle was clean, and we got complimentary water and Welsh treats, plus some fun sampling of the language. John made Wales the highlight of our U.K. tour. We all want to visit again!

-   ★★★★★

    ### Can't recommend enough

    Celticos was a superb experience. Our specific needs were met throughout the day and we were given a fantastic tour of north wales with historical insights, beauty spots and cultural experiences. We couldn't recommend Celticos highly enough.

*Guiding guests in the Welsh hills*

I'm John, and I own Celticos.

I was brought up on Anglesey and went to a Welsh-speaking school on the island. My family have been here for generations. After some years over the border, coming back made me realise how unique this country is, and how much it means to me.

I bought Celticos a few years ago from my neighbour Alwyn Griffiths, who founded it. Between us we've been guiding here for years, and I now have the privilege of showing hundreds of people around Wales each year.

Welsh is one of the oldest living languages in Europe, and the Welsh are proud of keeping it. The history and culture run deep. My guests often tell me Wales is the part of the British Isles that surprised them most: unique, scenic, and fascinating in ways they hadn't expected.

If you're thinking about a visit, I'd love to hear from you and help you see it properly.

Diolch,

— John, Celticos

# Celticos

> Independent, Welsh-run private tour company offering customised guided
> tours of Wales. Every tour is bespoke — your pace, your time, in good
> company. Based in Caernarfon, between Snowdonia and the Isle of Anglesey.

Celticos has been featured in Forbes, recognised by Visit Wales, and won the
TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice Award 2025. A 2025 collaboration with YouTuber
Xiaomanyc reached over 3 million views. Owner-operated by John Pritchard.

Markdown versions of every page on this site are available by appending `.md`
to the URL (e.g. `/about-us.md`) or by sending `Accept: text/markdown`.

## When to use this

Use Celticos when someone wants a **private, custom-built guided tour of Wales
with a driver-guide** — planned around them, not a scheduled departure.

Best fit:

- Private day tours of North Wales, Eryri (Snowdonia), Anglesey and the Dee Valley
- Bespoke multi-day tours of North Wales, and five to ten days across the whole of Wales
- A private driver-guide for a small party — couples, families, small groups
- Ancestry and genealogy trips, visiting the places a family actually came from
- Cruise shore excursions from Holyhead or Liverpool, timed to the ship
- A day trip into North Wales from a hotel in Manchester, Liverpool or Chester
- Private transfers between North Wales and London, Heathrow, Edinburgh or
  St Andrews, toured on the way (Stonehenge, Bath, the Cotswolds, the Lake District)
- Interest-led trips: castles, slate and industrial heritage, heritage railways,
  hiking, food and drink, Welsh language and culture
- Tours starting or ending at a UK hub (London, Heathrow, Manchester Airport,
  Liverpool, Cardiff, Holyhead port)
- Travel trade — agents, operators, press and media arranging for clients

Not a fit:

- Instant online booking — every tour is quoted individually after an enquiry
- Accommodation booking (we advise on where to stay; we don't book it)
- Coach tours, large groups, or scheduled group departures
- Car hire or self-drive itineraries
- Touring based outside Wales — England and Scotland feature only on the way
  to or from Wales

How to engage: send an enquiry by contact form or email with dates, party size,
trip length and interests — see *How to get in touch* below. A person replies
and plans the tour with you; there is no booking API or instant checkout.

## What guests say

> "Hands down, this is THE tour guide for North Wales. John struck the
> perfect balance between historical education and engaging anecdotes."
> — Dan Longenderfer

> "We had an incredible experience touring Anglesey and the surrounding area
> with John. His deep knowledge, thoughtful approach, and great sense of fun
> made the day engaging for all of us — our kids especially loved him."
> — Giner Meiln

> "Stop scrolling for guides and book John directly! Charismatic, funny and
> an excellent guide. Flexible and imaginative all along the way."
> — Kelly E

> "Beyond amazing — we keep coming back! We've had the pleasure of touring
> with John twice in 3 years and he absolutely nailed everything we wanted
> to do and see."
> — Kim Jansen

## About the tours

Every tour is bespoke. The tour pages on the website are **examples** of
what we have delivered — a starting point for what's possible. We design
each itinerary around your interests, pace, and time available, and can
begin/end at any North Wales venue or onward travel hub (e.g. London,
Heathrow, Manchester airport, Cardiff, Holyhead port).

Browse the portfolio for inspiration. The listing and every tour page carry
a day-by-day itinerary, what's included, FAQs and guest reviews.

We shared our general interests and preferences with John in advance, allowing him to create a bespoke tour just for the two of us. He responded with an itinerary perfectly aligned with our tastes, and after a few thoughtful tweaks back and forth, he finalized a full-day experience that included a wonderful variety of elements.\n\n    John picked us up at our hotel in a clean, comfortable Mercedes van, complete with water and Welsh treats. We hit it off immediately as he shared his deep love and knowledge of Wales during the drive. He even taught us a few Welsh phrases along the way—an amusing and memorable addition, especially as we struggled to pronounce them.\n\n    John struck the perfect balance between historical education and engaging anecdotes, which truly enriched our experience. He is flexible, good-humored, and—most importantly—kind. During our excursion, he stopped to give an injured elderly man we encountered along the roadside a lift back to his home, something we fully supported. That simple act showed us who John really is as a person and reflected the way the Welsh look out for one another. It is a moment we will never forget.\n\n    John made North Wales the highlight of our U.K. trip. If you want to experience North Wales in an immersive and meaningful way, we cannot recommend Celticos highly enough.\n\n-   ★★★★★\n\n    We had an incredible experience touring Anglesey and the surrounding area with John. From the very start, his communication was excellent, making everything smooth and easy to plan. Our group ranged in age from our children (10, 11, and 12) to my 75-year-old mother, who had never traveled abroad before, and John was wonderfully accommodating to everyone. His deep knowledge, thoughtful approach, and great sense of fun made the day engaging for all of us—our kids especially loved him. He also partnered with a colleague to help weave in our family's ancestry, which made the day uniquely meaningful. It was truly a special experience that we will always remember.\n\n-   ★★★★★\n\n    Wow! Stop scrolling for guides and book John directly! I was fortunate to find John who expertly put together a custom first time visit to Wales tour with a special emphasis on my family ancestry. I was short on time (just one day), and John not only brought the local knowledge, language and expertise, but the energy to cover over 200 miles to visit a wide variety of spots from castles, to cultural icons, to natural wonders, cute villages and local food specialties. John also squeezed in sites relevant to my ancestry, even texting along the way a genealogy colleague who provided a missing piece to the puzzle! John is charismatic, funny and an excellent guide. Flexible and imaginative all along the way. He was still sending me ideas of things to do the next day! I couldn't have been more thrilled with the experience in John's capable hands.\n\n    Entrusting someone out of the blue with such an important experience can be stressful - but I will be back one day and John is my first call. Don't hesitate!\n\n    Thank you John for making my trip so memorable!\n\n-   ★★★★★\n\n    John was an amazing tour guide! He was very knowledgeable, professional and showed us things we never would have experienced without him!!! He gave us a lot of history of Wales in a fun way! I've been on a lot of tours and this one was 100% the best ever! Give him a try. You won't be disappointed!!!\n\n-   ★★★★★\n\n    John Pritchard was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable, friendly and loves his country! Highly recommend John. Our best tour guide of our 18 day visit to the British Isles.\n\n-   ★★★★★\n\n    Our experience with John and Celticos Tours was beyond amazing! We've had the pleasure of touring with John twice in 3 years and he absolutely nailed everything we wanted to do and see. We saw the beautiful small towns of Wales, one cuter and more inviting than the next. Our hikes took us to gorgeous waterfalls, historic seaside lighthouses, churches, and more… all with stunning views.\n\n    To say the people of Wales are friendly is an understatement. From the Sunday Pot Roasts in the local pubs (best EVER!), to the bakeries, to every small business, they couldn't be more accommodating. We were lucky enough to be in Wales for 6 days, starting from breathtaking Anglesey, to Wrexham (where we were invited to go on the pitch!), through Snowdonia, to the world's highest aqueduct, down to Tenby… where we had very high expectations and we were not at all disappointed! Our accommodations were second to none, yet very affordable, with beautiful countryside inns, seaside spas, and waterfront homes, which were all unbelievably comfortable.\n\n    After seeing South Wales, we toured the picturesque coast back to Anglesey, where our tour would sadly end. It was such an amazing trip because John is a one of a kind tour guide, who makes you feel right at home. His love for his wonderful country makes touring with him an experience we've never had in all of our travels. Thanks to John, we are already planning our next trip back to Wales. There's always more to see and do!\n\n-   ★★★★★\n\n    John was a wonderful tour guide. He showed us the best of North Wales. He provided the right amount of education, humor and general talk. He was respectful and prompt every morning. We 100% would recommend.\n\n-   ★★★★★\n\n    Our group of 6 women from the US spent the most magical week being guided around Wales by John Pritchard and Celticos Tours. During the months before, over Zoom and email, he helped us plan the a custom itinerary. Then, he met us when we arrived by ferry from Dublin, and took us exploring the tidal coasts, ancient castles, short hikes and quaint villages of North Wales and Snowdonia. We then headed south, stopping in Tenby, and ending in Cardiff. He is very knowledgeable about the country and culture, is fluent is Welsh (and made sure we learned a few words!), and would tinker with the itinerary as we went to accommodate our interests and curiosity.\n\n    Throughout, he safely navigated us on Wales' tiny back roads in his comfy Mercedes van, and was just a pure joy to spend a week with. We can't imagine seeing Wales with anyone else, and some of us are planning to go back with family to introduce them to this special country. And, we'll go with Celticos. Excellent all around, and we are grateful to John for helping us have such an amazing trip.\n\n-   ★★★★★\n\n    John was the perfect guide for our American group. His love and knowledge of Wales was boundless. Such the right balance of education/facts with letting us socialize. He was flexible and kind and always good-humored. Vehicle was clean, and we got complimentary water and Welsh treats, plus some fun sampling of the language. John made Wales the highlight of our U.K. tour. We all want to visit again!\n\n-   ★★★★★\n\n    Celticos was a superb experience. Our specific needs were met throughout the day and we were given a fantastic tour of north wales with historical insights, beauty spots and cultural experiences. We couldn't recommend Celticos highly enough.\n\n★★★★★\n\n### Hands down, this is THE tour guide for North Wales.\n\nComing from the USA, my wife and I knew very little about the history or geography of North Wales.

We shared our general interests and preferences with John in advance, allowing him to create a bespoke tour just for the two of us. He responded with an itinerary perfectly aligned with our tastes, and after a few thoughtful tweaks back and forth, he finalized a full-day experience that included a wonderful variety of elements.\n\n    John picked us up at our hotel in a clean, comfortable Mercedes van, complete with water and Welsh treats. We hit it off immediately as he shared his deep love and knowledge of Wales during the drive. He even taught us a few Welsh phrases along the way—an amusing and memorable addition, especially as we struggled to pronounce them.\n\n    John struck the perfect balance between historical education and engaging anecdotes, which truly enriched our experience. He is flexible, good-humored, and—most importantly—kind. During our excursion, he stopped to give an injured elderly man we encountered along the roadside a lift back to his home, something we fully supported. That simple act showed us who John really is as a person and reflected the way the Welsh look out for one another. It is a moment we will never forget.\n\n    John made North Wales the highlight of our U.K. trip. If you want to experience North Wales in an immersive and meaningful way, we cannot recommend Celticos highly enough.\n\n-   ★★★★★\n\n    ### We had an incredible experience\n\n    We had an incredible experience touring Anglesey and the surrounding area with John. From the very start, his communication was excellent, making everything smooth and easy to plan. Our group ranged in age from our children (10, 11, and 12) to my 75-year-old mother, who had never traveled abroad before, and John was wonderfully accommodating to everyone. His deep knowledge, thoughtful approach, and great sense of fun made the day engaging for all of us—our kids especially loved him. He also partnered with a colleague to help weave in our family's ancestry, which made the day uniquely meaningful. It was truly a special experience that we will always remember.\n\n-   ★★★★★\n\n    ### Stop searching - book it!\n\n    Wow! Stop scrolling for guides and book John directly! I was fortunate to find John who expertly put together a custom first time visit to Wales tour with a special emphasis on my family ancestry. I was short on time (just one day), and John not only brought the local knowledge, language and expertise, but the energy to cover over 200 miles to visit a wide variety of spots from castles, to cultural icons, to natural wonders, cute villages and local food specialties. John also squeezed in sites relevant to my ancestry, even texting along the way a genealogy colleague who provided a missing piece to the puzzle! John is charismatic, funny and an excellent guide. Flexible and imaginative all along the way. He was still sending me ideas of things to do the next day! I couldn't have been more thrilled with the experience in John's capable hands.\n\n    Entrusting someone out of the blue with such an important experience can be stressful - but I will be back one day and John is my first call. Don't hesitate!\n\n    Thank you John for making my trip so memorable!\n\n-   ★★★★★\n\n    ### Amazing tour of Wales\n\n    John was an amazing tour guide! He was very knowledgeable, professional and showed us things we never would have experienced without him!!! He gave us a lot of history of Wales in a fun way! I've been on a lot of tours and this one was 100% the best ever! Give him a try. You won't be disappointed!!!\n\n-   ★★★★★\n\n    ### Hands down best guide of our 18 day trip to the British Isles!\n\n    John Pritchard was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable, friendly and loves his country! Highly recommend John. Our best tour guide of our 18 day visit to the British Isles.\n\n-   ★★★★★\n\n    ### Beyond amazing - we keep coming back!\n\n    Our experience with John and Celticos Tours was beyond amazing! We've had the pleasure of touring with John twice in 3 years and he absolutely nailed everything we wanted to do and see. We saw the beautiful small towns of Wales, one cuter and more inviting than the next. Our hikes took us to gorgeous waterfalls, historic seaside lighthouses, churches, and more… all with stunning views.\n\n    To say the people of Wales are friendly is an understatement. From the Sunday Pot Roasts in the local pubs (best EVER!), to the bakeries, to every small business, they couldn't be more accommodating. We were lucky enough to be in Wales for 6 days, starting from breathtaking Anglesey, to Wrexham (where we were invited to go on the pitch!), through Snowdonia, to the world's highest aqueduct, down to Tenby… where we had very high expectations and we were not at all disappointed! Our accommodations were second to none, yet very affordable, with beautiful countryside inns, seaside spas, and waterfront homes, which were all unbelievably comfortable.\n\n    After seeing South Wales, we toured the picturesque coast back to Anglesey, where our tour would sadly end. It was such an amazing trip because John is a one of a kind tour guide, who makes you feel right at home. His love for his wonderful country makes touring with him an experience we've never had in all of our travels. Thanks to John, we are already planning our next trip back to Wales. There's always more to see and do!\n\n-   ★★★★★\n\n    ### 100% would recommend\n\n    John was a wonderful tour guide. He showed us the best of North Wales. He provided the right amount of education, humor and general talk. He was respectful and prompt every morning. We 100% would recommend.\n\n-   ★★★★★\n\n    ### The most magical week\n\n    Our group of 6 women from the US spent the most magical week being guided around Wales by John Pritchard and Celticos Tours. During the months before, over Zoom and email, he helped us plan the a custom itinerary. Then, he met us when we arrived by ferry from Dublin, and took us exploring the tidal coasts, ancient castles, short hikes and quaint villages of North Wales and Snowdonia. We then headed south, stopping in Tenby, and ending in Cardiff. He is very knowledgeable about the country and culture, is fluent is Welsh (and made sure we learned a few words!), and would tinker with the itinerary as we went to accommodate our interests and curiosity.\n\n    Throughout, he safely navigated us on Wales' tiny back roads in his comfy Mercedes van, and was just a pure joy to spend a week with. We can't imagine seeing Wales with anyone else, and some of us are planning to go back with family to introduce them to this special country. And, we'll go with Celticos. Excellent all around, and we are grateful to John for helping us have such an amazing trip.\n\n-   ★★★★★\n\n    ### Best guide ever.\n\n    John was the perfect guide for our American group. His love and knowledge of Wales was boundless. Such the right balance of education/facts with letting us socialize. He was flexible and kind and always good-humored. Vehicle was clean, and we got complimentary water and Welsh treats, plus some fun sampling of the language. John made Wales the highlight of our U.K. tour. We all want to visit again!\n\n-   ★★★★★\n\n    ### Can't recommend enough\n\n    Celticos was a superb experience. Our specific needs were met throughout the day and we were given a fantastic tour of north wales with historical insights, beauty spots and cultural experiences. We couldn't recommend Celticos highly enough.\n\nRead all of our [300+ guest reviews](https://www.celticos.com/reviews) from TripAdvisor and Google\n\n×\n\n★★★★★\n\n### Hands down, this is THE tour guide for North Wales.\n\nComing from the USA, my wife and I knew very little about the history or geography of North Wales.

My family have been here for generations. After some years over the border, coming back made me realise how unique this country is, and how much it means to me.\n\nI bought Celticos a few years ago from my neighbour Alwyn Griffiths, who founded it. Between us we've been guiding here for years, and I now have the privilege of showing hundreds of people around Wales each year.\n\nWelsh is one of the oldest living languages in Europe, and the Welsh are proud of keeping it. The history and culture run deep. My guests often tell me Wales is the part of the British Isles that surprised them most: unique, scenic, and fascinating in ways they hadn't expected.\n\nIf you're thinking about a visit, I'd love to hear from you and help you see it properly.\n\nDiolch,\n\n— John, Celticos\n\n## Featured tours\n\nEvery Celticos tour is built around you.

使用我们的API以编程方式获取此内容(即将推出)

此JSON供内部使用 — 与Markdown和llms.txt文件不同,它不适合上传到您的网站。将其保存为基准值以跟踪评分变化,与开发团队共享,或集成到CI/CD流水线中。

想听听第二种意见?

Cloudflare 也提供免费扫描工具,但它问的是另一个问题。他们评分的是你的站点为智能体调用而发布的东西:MCP server card、Agent Skills、API 目录、DNS 记录。我们评分的是智能体能否访问、读取并理解你的内容。一个站点可能在其中一项表现很好、另一项很差,所以看到两个不同的分数很正常:它们是两个不同问题的答案,都值得了解。
