Fantastic guide. We were allowed into the actual house where it was filmed and were told lots of stories about the filming. All done with enthusiasm and humour. Going on the actual Dave’s Coaches really made the tour. The only comment was that we were unfortunately unable to leave a tip as we did not have cash so a contactless tip system would be much appreciated by all.

Excellent from start to finish. Host was amazing and told us so many facts. Visited lots of places that Gavin and Stacey has been fimed over the years. Played music from different scenes and provided masks for reenactments. An absolute must for superfans.

The tour was fantastic! The guide was so funny and was very entertaining! I couldn’t fault it in any way! What a brilliant time we had! I’d highly recommend if you’re thinking of visiting Barry Island! You get to see all the sights! ❤️

Me and my partnee loved every minute off the tour it was really well planned and the staff was so polite highly recommended
