Departing Cardiff, you will be taken through Swansea (Wales' 2nd City) and around Swansea Bay. After a short stop at The Mumbles on the edge of Swansea Bay, you will be taken into The Gower itself.

You can sit back and take in the scenery as your driver drives you through the beautiful countryside, stopping as and when requested, so you can take photo's.

On the tour, you will stop at Oxwich Bay and Port Eynon, where you will have the chance to stretch your legs and take in the coastline.

From Port Eynon, you wil have the choice of either walking (unguided) the coastal path, or being driven to Rhossili Bay.

Before leaving The Gower, and heading back to Cardiff, you will stop at Arthurs Stone and take in panoramic 360 degree views of the Gower, and if there is time, stop at Weobly Castle on the north coast of The Gower
