Half Day Complete Cardiff Walking Tour

الوصف

This tour will give you a complete overview of the history, culture, geography & architecture of Cardiff. The capital of Wales is a young city but also a fascinating place full of greenery, castles, waterways, Victorian and Edwardian splendour, forged around a strong, growing Welsh identity. Cardiff wouldn't exist without the influence of its Castle, while modern Cardiff wouldn't exist if not for the development of the docks. By choosing this tour you will discover how the two sections of the city compliment each other, and how they gave us the city we have today.
