April to October

If you’re new to walking tours and considering Cardiff, we can assure you it's a fantastic introduction to the city! There are currently 14 different walking tour options available, offering a diverse range of experiences that cater to all interests and budgets. The average rating across these tours is an impressive 4.7 out of 5, reflecting the high quality of guides and the engaging content offered.

When choosing your first tour, it’s worth considering the price range – tours cost anywhere from £5 up to a maximum of £495. Duration also varies significantly, with options ranging from just 60 minutes to full-length experiences lasting up to 360 minutes. The top-rated tour, "Flavours of Wales : Cardiff Edition," currently boasts a remarkable 5.0/5 rating based on 5 reviews and comes in at £89. This suggests a premium offering, likely with more detailed content or a smaller group size.

You’ll find tours that focus on various aspects of Cardiff – its history, architecture, food and drink scenes - so it's really important to compare the duration and price to match your desired experience. Some tours are offered as shared experiences, while others are private, which will naturally impact the cost. Generally, longer tours tend to be more expensive, but this reflects a richer and more in-depth exploration of the city.

We want you to feel confident in your choice. The consistently high ratings indicate that these walking tours provide excellent value for money. Don’t hesitate to explore the different options available and select one that aligns with your interests and time constraints. We believe Cardiff offers something special, and a walking tour is a perfect way to begin discovering its charm.
