From our base in Carmarthen, you can uncover everything Pembrokeshire and South West Wales has to offer with visits to Pembroke, St David's and Mumbles and a guided tour of the Gower Peninsula,
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?
We travel to our hotel, making comfort stops on the way.
After breakfast, we travel to the walled town of Pembroke. Dating back nine hundred years, Pembroke is best known for one of the most complete Norman castles remaining in the UK. It is also the birthplace of Henry VII, founder of the Tudor dynasty. We take a scenic drive from here along the Pembrokeshire Coast to St David's, the smallest official city in the country. Why not visit the twelfth-century cathedral, where you can learn all about the history of St David's and see the impressive Treasury collection?
Sitting on the River Tywi, the attractive town of Carmarthen claims to be one of, if not the oldest, towns in Wales. We enjoy a free day in the long rumoured home of Merlin, where plenty of incredible historical castles and towers, including the ruins of Carmarthen Castle, are all around us. Afterwards, why not visit the local markets to find unique antiques, fresh produce, souvenirs and more? If you’re looking to visit more of the Pembrokeshire Coast, beautiful Tenby can be reached by regular trains from Carmarthen station.
Today, we travel to Mumbles, which marks the beginning of the Gower Peninsula's coastline and is home to some world-class ice cream – but don't just take our word for it! After exploring, get prepared for our Gower Peninsula tour from the comfort of our Optimum Experience coach, accompanied by a knowledgeable guide. Afterwards, we return to the Gower Heritage Centre to enjoy a traditional cream tea.
We return home today.
Located in a spectacular position at the gateway to West Wales, the Ivy Bush Royal Hotel blends its old-world charm with modern facilities.
