Anglesey Highlights Small-Group Shore Excursion from Holyhead

Summary: We have nothing but praise for this tour. Our guide, Trevor was excellent. He was informative, friendly and entertaining. We felt guilty because we were the only two people signed up for that day's tour, so we offered to forego the tour, but he insisted on taking just the two of us. In fact, since he lives in Llandudno, where we were staying, he picked us up at our hotel and saved us a train ride to Holyhead. He and his wife, Lawrie (who drove) treated us like visiting family. All of the stops were great, with enough time at each stop. He did his best to teach us to say "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch" but we weren't embarrassingly bad at it. We enjoyed a snack at the tea room in the community center in Beaumaris, in lieu of touring the interior of Beaumaris Castle. The highlight of the tour was probably the cliffs and lighthouse at South Stack - spectacular on a sunny afternoon. Because there were no passengers to get back to the ferry, we were also able to visit the Trefignath burial tomb, a set of three burial chambers older than Stonehenge, a site where we were the only visitors. Trevor even dropped us off at the hotel we were staying the night before catching the ferry, rather than dropping us off at the ferry terminal. Even though the tour was just under four hours, it was amazing how much we saw, and at the end we felt like we were saying goodbye to friends.
