It's been a lovely weekend of tours over the last couple of days. Whether you were a local coming along for Arcades Day, a visitor in town for the rugby, or one of the many others from all around the world, thanks for joining me and Remo on the Cardiff tour across Saturday and Sunday. 🌍

There has been a great buzz around the city over the last few days with the opening of the Christmas market and winter wonderland, the start of the evening light installations across the centre of town, the build up to the rugby and the different events taking place for City of Arcades 2024 🍿🌟

The tours are not only for Arcades Day and rugby weekends of course, as the public Cardiff tour continues on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays across the winter, with the last regular Sunday tour of the year taking place next week ahead of the South Africa game πŸ‰

Had a secret visit from Visit Wales this week as someone from their quality assurance team joined one of our tours. Thankfully the feedback has been amazing! As well as maintaining their seal of approval and getting a great review, their Best Told Story Award has been retained since their last check a couple of years ago.Β 

Absolutely delighted to get the recognition for all the hard work that has been put into keeping the tours going over the years, and very proud to have the backing and support of a national body.Β 

Here's some of their feedback and nice words...

Visitor Attraction Quality Assurance Visit 2024Β 
"A brilliant, engaging and thoroughly enjoyable walking tour. As a born and bred "Cardiffian" myself, I found the tour extremely interesting and even found out things about my city that I didn't even know....
...Eugene is most engaging and of course extremely knowledgeable about Cardiff, Wales, its culture, language and sense of place and history. He brings it to life with anecdotes and ensures that all guests were involved and participating....
... This is a lovely tour, full of interest and is a real credit not only to Eugene himself but also in promoting Cardiff itself."

Thank you

Thanks to everyone who joined us for Saturday's walking tours. Here's just a couple of the groups from the morning and afternoon, as the morning was a rare occurrence of having to split up the group! Such a great turnout for what has become one of the most enjoyable weekends of the year. More and more people are visiting the city each year from around the world for the race 🌍

Good luck to everyone running the today or continuing their journey, hopefully the weather holds up β˜€οΈπŸ˜¬β›ˆοΈ

πŸ—“οΈIf you're still in town on Monday and still capable of walking or standing then the next Cardiff city free tour takes place at 11am on Monday morning. All are welcome, just reserve your place via the website.

Proof that there was some sun in Cardiff over the bank holiday weekend β˜€οΈ

Thanks to everyone who joined me on different tours across the long weekend, in both Cardiff & Swansea. Across the last five days there were 13 tours in total, including six different types of tour, and hundreds of visitors from around the world. Thankfully, despite the wind, rain and occasional sun, people still made a big effort to enjoy their holiday weekend and wanted to learn about Wales 🏴󠁧󠁒󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Now time for a couple of days off before we go again on Thursday πŸ’ͺ

If you're in Swansea this summer keep an eye out for the Castle's in the Sky art trail which is spread all around the city.

It will be around until 15 September, and is brought to us by Wales Air Ambulance. The trail features a series of castle sculptures, designed by local artists and sponsored by local businesses, in streets, parks and public places throughout the city. All of the 'castles' feature references to Welsh life, history and culture, from daffodils and lighhouses to Doctor Who, including one of the city's favourite sons...Russell T Davies (look out for him and the Doctor at Swansea Station.)

Happy Taylor Swift Day from Cardiff! 🎀

Thanks to everyone who joined the free walking tour this morning, was great fun meeting all the swifties, non-swifties and even Doctor Who fans from around the world 🌎 The tour was a real reflection of the fun, laid back atmosphere and excited anticipation that was evident around the city over the last couple of days.
