Tours & Activities in Swansea

Swansea is the second biggest city in Wales, and a city with a fascinating history. It is a city with a name of Norse origins, but developed by the Normans. It lived through the Middle Ages and became the biggest town in Wales in the 1700s due to the emergence of the copper trade. The industrial revolution created the Swansea we have today, but the city suffered through the demise of heavy industry, as well as the impact of World War 2. From Vikings to copper, from trains to Dylan Thomas, the evolution of this young city is revealed across this two hour tour.

Explore colourful Swansea, which features Wales' biggest market, a centuries-old castle, a historic marina, and a spectacularly located beachfront, on this two hour walking tour of the city centre.
