Itinerary

Expand All

Day 1

Make your own way to our hotel in Llandudno, where you meet an experienced Tour Manager and enjoy a relaxing evening.

Day 2 Llanberis Lake Railway & Snowdon Mountain Railway

Location: Llanberis Lake Railway & Snowdon Mountain Railway

Today, our coach takes us to the quaint village of Llanberis, nestled beside Lake Padarn and at the base of Mount Snowdon, Wales' highest mountain.


From here, we enjoy a picturesque journey aboard the Llanberis Lake Railway. This wonderful ride traces Lake Padarn's shoreline, offering stunning views of mountains and the serene lake.


We then hop aboard the Snowdon Mountain Railway, a historic narrow-gauge railway which ascends the majestic Mount Snowdon, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding Snowdonia National Park – on a clear day, the views can stretch as far as Ireland! At the summit, there is a contemporary visitor centre which blends into its natural surroundings.

Day 3 Portmeirion & Ffestiniog Railway

Location: Portmeirion & Ffestiniog Railway

Today, we travel out by coach to Portmeirion, an Italian-inspired village perched on a private peninsula. It's best known as the backdrop for the 1960s TV series, ‘The Prisoner’. Combining Mediterranean flair with Welsh beauty, this unique destination offers an array of quaint, colourful buildings nestled amidst beautiful subtropical gardens and greenery.


After some free time to explore, we embark on the Ffestiniog Railway, the world’s oldest narrow-gauge railway. Our 13½-mile ride travels the full length of the railway between Porthmadog and Blaenau Ffestiniog, offering views of serene pastures, charming villages, dense forests, tranquil lakes, cascading waterfalls, dark tunnels, and even an intricate spiral!


We return to the hotel by coach and enjoy dinner this evening.

Day 4 Betws-Y-Coed & The Welsh Highland Railway

Location: Betws-y-Coed & the Welsh Highland Railway

This morning, we journey by coach to beautiful Betws-y-Coed, nestled in the core of the Conwy Valley and renowned as Snowdonia National Park's main village. Enjoy time to explore at your own pace.


Later, we continue to the scenic village of Beddgelert. From here, we board the Welsh Highland Railway. One of the UK’s longest narrow-gauge steam lines, a ride along this railway affords spectacular views of forests and mountains, passing through some of the region’s most significant geographical features.


Once arriving at Caernarfon station, we travel by coach to our hotel.

Day 5

After breakfast, it is time to check out of our hotel. Why not take the opportunity to visit the Great Orme in Llandudno or the neighbouring town of Conwy before you make your own way home?

Accommodation

You will stay for four nights at the Llandudno Bay Hotel.

I went on the 4 countries trip and swiss glacier express and overall it was a great trip. The coach I was on was silver service, it was tidy had nice seats and other accessories such as charging points and headsets which was very handy. The drivers Alex and Dave were fantastic, very kind, funny and respectful throughout the whole trip and a pleasure to talk to. The excursions were very pleasant and all ran very smoothly. The hotels were decent and offered a good service. I overall very much recommend leger holidays.

Excellent customer service

10-Jan-2023

Booked our ‘Christmas in Austria & Scenic Trains of the Tyrol’ through George on the customer Helpline. Nothing was too much trouble, everything clearly & patiently explained. He even had permission to log in on his day off to finalise the sale! A charming and helpful young person and a credit to the company.

10-Oct-2023

Been on two tours now the “D Day beaches” and “ All Quiet on the Western Front” tour of the Somme and Ypres. Both four days in total, two travelling and two on the site of the various battles. This is outstanding value for money, picked up from Carlisle , Cumbria and literally looked after all the way through the tours. The coaches are great and the accommodation spot on . The guides are very knowledgeable ( Mark Hope brilliant guy)and the bus drivers professional . Absolutely fantastic .

Due to covid it was 3rd time lucky for us to visit lake Garda, what a treat. One or two hiccups but no fault of Legers at all. Praise to Graham and Chris for their excellent driving and coffee service. Our visit to Verona, our guide was very informative but did walk at a pace sometimes had to hurry to keep up. A lovely holiday

Four Countries New Year & the Swiss Glacier Express

07-Jan-2024

Firstly we must thank Alex and Dave our tour guide / drivers who entertained us through out . The tour was fantastic so was the hotel’s food and entertainment. The tour was through the new year holidays as expected lots of shops closed and hotels were understaffed which was lost on some travelers. We travelled back from stop 24 on a luxuria coach I would recommend paying the extra for the comfort alone

25-Mar-2024

just returned from a solos break to valkenburg and rhine valley i enjoyed the break overall although both journeys were considerably longer than expected due to several picks ups. I could have done without the 3 countries meeting point excursion to be honest and the lunch on rhine cruise was very basic. The drivers/couriers were efficient and good humoured and provided free lunch vouchers on the ferry which were much appreciated. I probably would book another break with leger but to somewhere a lot closer to home.

19-May-2024

I was told by a customer service advisor (Michael) , our hotel overlooked the River Seine, which was totally untrue. It was nowhere in sight and a good walk to get to it. My view from the hotel room was a wall and a window, There was no porterage available and although our drivers offered, after a 15 hour journey to France, we all opted to take our own luggage. To get into the shower there was a step to it and the floor of the shower was like an ice rink when wet, with nothing to hold onto. ( I showered wearing my slippers to avoid slipping). The plunger to the sink was unusable; (the lever to retrieve it was broken). The staff were pleasant and helpful, the bed was comfortable and clean abd the breakfast was worthy of the 3 stars given. Otherwise, I have stayed in a better 2* hotel in France. The driver and travel rep, Paul were both very friendly and pleasant but it was the first time Paul had been on this trip and therefore had little knowledge of the places we visited! There was no commentary and the history of Monet and Versailles was read out from a book! All in all, nothing would persuade me to take part in another Leger tour.

Many thanks to Molly.

03-Jan-2023

I have recently booked a trip to Le Mans and had the good fortune to speak to Molly. She was very helpful and a pleasure to talk to. She was able to answer all but one of my queries with clarity and promised to ring me with the answer to the un-answered question as it required further investigation. This she duly did. An unusually pleasant experience when making a booking over the phone, if only it could be this easy every the time.
