Cardigan based ‘Green Badge’ tourist guide for South West Wales Mark Cole (assisted by wife Alyson) is sharing his passion for West Wales through enthusiastic, entertaining and enlightening guided tours of his homeland.

As a husband and wife team, Cole Tours guides individuals and groups interested in exploring key highlights and hidden gems in the area, to safely enjoy coach tours, cruise ship excursions, landmark visits and walking tours, whilst absorbing engaging stories and anecdotes to capture the imagination.

They also specialise in customised genealogical tours to enable people to walk in the footsteps of ancestors for those interested in delving a little deeper.

Mark’s love for Wales is evident in the delivery of his talks,

“I am passionate about West Wales – the land of my birth, my ancestry and of my ‘today’ and I’m keen to extol its many virtues to those who wish to indulge in its beauty and history!”

Tour participants say “Mark has an intuitive knack for making history come to life and be relevant” and “You won’t meet a friendlier tour guide anywhere, nor many that have such an obvious interest in their subject matter.”

Many assume ‘tours’ are limited to those visiting the area, yet the joy is in allowing yourself to become a tourist in your own back yard – that’s where the magic begins.

Give Mark and Alyson a call to explore which gems they can help you uncover.
