Wales Trails

Hi, we are Ildi and Darran, official Wales Blue Badge Tourist Guides and the Founders of Wales Trails.

We created Wales Trails to share the Wales we know and love -its stunning landscape, rich history, vibrant culture, and welcoming communities that make it so special.  Our goal is simply to help visitors experience the real Wales through carefully created private tours from Cardiff and across the country. 

Whether you are visiting for a day, a weekend or longer, we will help you discover Wales at your own pace, with personalised experiences designed around your interests.
