What you can expect

Hop aboard a comfortable train and head out of town to explore the charms of Cardiff on this full-day excursion. Pop between intriguing museums and cafe-lined lanes, visit Cardiff Castle, and—depending on the season—enjoy an exploration of the city by hop-on hop-off bus.

Head to the National Rail ticket office in front of Platform 1 at London Paddington station and hop aboard your Cardiff-bound train. Watch pastoral landscapes and quaint English countryside pass by as you clatter out of town, and hop out when you arrive in Cardiff to start your excursion.

In spring and summer, catch a ride directly from the station in an open-top bus that loops around Cardiff's most notable sights and landmarks, like the the manicured gardens of Cathays Park or the hip shops and restaurants along the waterfront in Cardiff Bay.

Take the afternoon to explore the city on your own, making sure to leave time for a visit to the 11th-century ramparts of Cardiff Castle. Learn about the Roman fort that once stood on the same grounds and find out what invasions this well-preserved castle had to defend itself against before you head back to Cardiff Station for your return ride to London.

Due to current COVID-19 restrictions, we have removed lunch packs on all of our tours for the foreseeable future.
