Welcome to beautiful North Wales and enjoy an exciting trip that combines award-winning beaches with a fascinating history, all while staying in the shadow of Mount Snowdon.
This holiday operates under our Optimum Experience brand.
With elegant space-maximising interior design, our Optimum Experience vehicle offers incredible passenger comfort with a selection of fine tours and destinations to choose from. Our Optimum holiday packages include a wide range of excursions, events and admissions, accommodation in a minimum 3* hotel (unless otherwise stated) and, on all our European Holidays, a Skills Representative too! Why not also book our door-to-door service and make your next holiday stress-free?
After departures, we visit Shrewsbury for free time. Set amidst glorious countryside, Shrewsbury is one of England's finest medieval market towns and home to over six hundred listed buildings. We later continue to our hotel this afternoon.
After breakfast, we head to the popular seaside resort of Llandudno. Enjoy a stroll along the traditional Victorian promenade and pier, or if you're after stunning views, why not visit The Great Orme on this full-day excursion? A heritage tramway can reach Llandudno's mini-mountain range, a designated nature reserve.
Enjoy a half-day trip to Caernarfon, situated on the eastern shore of the Menai Strait opposite the Isle of Anglesey. Visit the UNESCO Heritage site of Caernarfon Castle, an architectural masterpiece of its era, or board one of the Welsh Highland heritage steam trains that depart from the town's station throughout the day (pre-booking is recommended). We will return to Llanberis this afternoon, where you can enjoy our hotel and the surrounding area.
With today's leisurely start, why not walk into Llanberis, an area known for its rugged beauty, large lakes, slate mines and the start of the Snowdon Mountain Railway? This afternoon, we enjoy admission into Portmeirion. This unique village, set on a private peninsula, was crafted by architect Clough Williams-Ellis over a fifty-year period. Surrounded by seventy acres of sub-tropical woodland gardens, Portmeirion is home to Italian-inspired architecture, iconic exotic gardens, stylish shops, award-winning restaurants and a traditional Italian ice cream parlour!
After departing our hotel, we visit Chester, a Roman city that is now a much-loved destination for shoppers and history buffs alike. We will return home later.
Cradled between two lakes (Llyn Padarn and Llyn Peries), The Royal Victoria Hotel is situated at the foot of Mount Snowdon. Comfortable rooms feature home comforts, and the well-stocked bar offers a relaxing environment after dinner.
