Full statement below:

It has come to our attention that there have been allegations re: the legitimacy of the Indisputably Researched Virtual Walking Tour of St Davids’ claims to be “indisputably researched”, with suggestions the tour has not been researched at all and presents an “extremely generic” virtual tour that could be of any city.
Here at the Nacydw Heritage Awards, we take these allegations indisputably seriously.
We take pride in the amount of research that goes into the many tours provided in the St Davids area, which is one of the reasons why we created a prize for Most Verifiably Accurate Walking Tour of St Davids, and it is very disappointing that one of the operators nominated for such a prestigious award would exploit the good nature of the public in this manner.
Claims suggest that the virtual attendee is led to believe that they are in a realistic virtual portrayal of St Davids by simply using “placeholder” names for all landmarks that could be interchangeable with any city. They would have got away with it had they left it at St Davids Cathedral, but their undoing came through the inclusion of the St Davids Zoo, St Davids Castle, the St Davids Ice Skating Rink, and the St Davids Red Light District. We would like to make it clear that such ill-researched material could be incredibly damaging to the city’s reputation and frankly it is tantamount to slander.
For the record, St Davids does not and will never have an ice-skating rink.
While we are aware of the many retail establishments in the area, we are concerned that the tour also implies that there is just a single shop called the St Davids shop which, due to a glitch, sells only St David’s’s branded candles.
We are sorry to say that we have made the decision to revoke this tour’s nomination with immediate effect. We will also be looking into claims about the virtual host’s “glitching”, which has made the tour less than family friendly.
Sincerely,
The Panel

An Official Statement from the Nacydw Heritage Awards Panel regarding the latest revelations re: Segway Tour of St Davids:

It has come to our attention that the St Davids Segway Tour has allegedly been involved in criminal activity. We have seen documented evidence that pertains to the shipping of illegally trafficked bees from Porthclais harbour into the city under the guise of a legitimate segway tour.

Here at the Nacydw Heritage Awards, we take these allegations incredibly seriously.

Many customers have written to us since the announcement of the nominations for our prestigious award (Most Verifiably Accurate Walking Tour of St Davids) to tell us that they believe they were inadvertently part of a scheme to transfer an illegal breed of fighting bee from Porthclais Harbour into the city under the cover of darkness. Many of them have written to us from their cells in prison since they were found to be transporting illegal fighting bees around the St Davids Peninsula, which is a criminal offence.

One of the most striking aspects of these accusations is that these tours were taking place at night, usually around 2am, which to the panel seems like an unconventional time to start a segway tour.

The fighting bees, which have been outlawed in Wales since the late 19th century, are often used in late night gambling rings held in the back rooms of pubs. We know this because panel member Gwyn Tompkins infiltrated a bee fight held in an abandoned barn outside St Davids and won a substantial amount of money, which he has promised to donate to a local bee charity that helps to rehabilitate rescued former fighting bees.

In light of this we cannot with good conscience permit a tour that actively engages in the illegal trafficking of bees to be considered for such a prestigious award, and their nomination is henceforth rescinded with immediate effect.

We can only apologise to the members of the public who have been on the tours and have been subsequently detained in police custody until further notice. We hope that our swift actions in this matter will result in these innocent tourists having the criminal charges against them dropped.

Signed,
The Panel

Here at the Annual Nacydw Heritage Awards we are saddened to have to take action of this nature but unfortunately due the sheer volume of complaints we have received since the announcement of our nominations for the prestigious Most Verifiably Accurate Walking Tour of St Davids, we have been left with no choice.
