Overview
On our Wye Valley tour, you will have the freedom to spend as little or as much time as you wish at any of the locations. The only time restriction we will insist on adhering to is leaving Caerleon around 5:15pm to ensure the tour finishes around the planned time.
We will provide you with an itinerary before the tour. The timings on this itinerary are purely there to be used as a guide for the day.
Please Note:
Chepstow Castle, Raglan Castle Tintern Abbey & Caerleon Roman Baths all have a cost for entry. However these are not included in the price of the tour. We have done this so you do not feel obligated to enter any of them if you do not wish too (although we do recommend it).
On the day, you can enter all, or none of them as you see fit. If you want to enter any of them, simply pay on the door. All sites are run and operated by CADW and you may wish to consider purchasing a 3 Day Pass at Chepstow Castle, which will then give you free entry to all sites
