Fogo's Free Tours is the most prolific walking tour operation in South Wales, offering regular public and private walking tours of Wales' two biggest cities all year round: Cardiff and Swansea.
Established during spring 2018 in Cardiff, over 1,200 walking tours have now taken place across the two cities at the time of writing in spring 2024, to 15,000 people from over 125 different countries across the world.
Starting with just the Cardiff city walking tour, the portfolio has since grown to include tours of Cardiff Bay, Swansea, Cardiff's Victorian shopping arcades, Cardiff's Dark Side and Doctor Who filming locations in the Welsh capital. Further bespoke or combined tours are also always available on request.
Aiming to show you the best of Cardiff and Swansea, our tours showcase the statues, landmarks and architecture of Wales' two most prominent cities, as well as the history, culture and characters of the country.
Cardiff may be a young capital, but it is one steeped in industrial history, iconic buildings, grand ambitions and is one of the greenest cities in the United Kingdom. Discover the rapid development of Cardiff, the diversity of the city, both its romantic and dark past, as well as its thriving present on one of our regular public walking tours in the capital, or if that schedule doesn't work for you then private excursions are available to fit your needs.
Swansea revolves around the four pillars of its history and culture: the copper industry, World War 2, Dylan Thomas and trains. Wales' second city may have a Norse name but has Norman roots, growing exponentially from market town to copper capital of the world. The Second World War affected the city more than anywhere else in Wales but today it's the surf capital of the UK, with the laidback lifestyle to go with it. With a regenerating city centre thanks to Swansea Arena and a beautiful modern marina dominating then southern end of the city centre, Swansea manages to combine a fascinating past with a resurgent present.
