Why choose this Pembrokeshire tour ?
An original and hilarious comedy walking tour of St Davids, guided by “the actual” St David and his 11th century biographer. This is a unique experience, covering over 2,000 years of absurd and at times questionable local history, based on the medieval works of Rhygyfarch the Wise. Expect heavily-embellished stories from the perspective of Wales’s patron saint, as well as stories about Vikings, monks, and a leek, all within the beautiful surroundings of Britain’s Smallest City. This “brilliantly imaginative” tour is a must-do activity for anyone looking to do something different on their stay in Pembrokeshire, suitable for all ages.
