Your tour begins as you board your motorcoach for a scenic drive to Llangollen, a small village in the Dee Valley famed for its International Eisteddfod, a festival of folk music, costumes, and dance. The village's 14th-century stone bridge is considered one of Wales' great scenes.

En route, you'll drive to the Wirral Peninsula, crossing under the Mersey River via the Mersey Tunnel. You'll continue to Ruthin and cross the Horseshoe Pass, a mountain pass in northeast Wales, and witness views of rugged mountains and the Vale of Clywd before arriving in Llangollen.

In Llangollen, you'll browse the village shops, then make your way to Chester. Chester was founded by the Romans in 75 AD and began life as a permanent garrison. Portions of the original Roman walls are still visible. Upon arriving, you'll have free time to explore this medieval city now bustling with vibrant 21st century life. You'll witness the city's historic towers and ancient gates, as well as its unique 13th-century 'rows,' half-timbered galleried shops on two stories. You'll also pass grand Georgian homes and medieval streets among exclusive shops and restaurants.

Next is a lunch at one of the city's hotel. After enjoying your traditional meal, you'll make your way to Chester Cathedral, a 13th-century Norman cathedral originally an abbey church, and site of Handel's first public performance of 'The Messiah' in 1742. Chester was raised to cathedral status following Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries in 1550. Inside, you'll witness its superb carved wooden choir stalls.

Before returning to Liverpool, you'll have an opportunity to snap a photo of the Eastgate Clock, a prominent landmark in the city of Chester, said to be the most photographed clock in England after Big Ben.
