"Melissa provides an informative tour of Caernarfon and can add a walk to explore the ruins at Segontium as well. We took it on our third day in Caernarfon, but the tour would be even more useful for getting oriented when first arriving in the town. Melissa can arrange to do the tour for as few as two people. A great way to get to know and appreciate Caernarfon"

"Very interesting tour around the old town and roman fort. A nice guide and interesting stories. She could answer all of our questions."

Nicole, The Netherlands, May 2025

"Melissa was very knowledgeable and we learnt a lot about Caernarfon. Very enjoyable walk and tour. The tour took us through most of the old town and to the Roman Fort ruins."

Werner, Australia, November 2024

"Melissa's tour was exceptional. Her knowledge, photo resources and friendly demeanor while conducting our 75 minute walk complemented our visit to Caernarfon remarkably. She answered our many questions and pointed out interesting features we would have been unaware had we merely wandered around without her guidance. At £10 it is excellent value. Highly recommended!"

Marshall Willan, Australia, July 2024

"Melissa is a friendly and knowledgeable guide. It was easy to organise the tour with her by email and we met her near the David Lloyd George statue. She was well prepared with historic photographs to enable us to compare the past with what we could see in the present. We had the tour of the town and also the Roman Fort (Segontium). Both were superb. Highly recommended if you are visiting Caernarfon. A+++++"

Philip Payne, June 2024

"My wife and I visited Caernarfon on Monday the 30th of May and we were fortunate to come across a poster advertising guided walking tours of Caernarfon and the Roman fort. We phoned Melissa and she soon joined us and we enjoyed a very informative and interesting couple of hours. Melissa made our day bringing the town and the fort to life. We got so much more out of our visit thanks to Melissa’s guided tour."

"Had a great tour around the town and castle with Melissa who was a very friendly and well-informed guide. Would certainly recommend Caernarfon Walks!"

Gary Payton, Norway, October 2022 

"Melissa thank you for a very informative and interesting walk around Caernarfon, hearing facts that you have gained during your studies. Best wishes for the future."

Derek and Linda Faint, August 2022 

"An hour well spent and more than we bargained for. On a windy Saturday morning in February my wife and I joined Melissa for a guided walk around the historic town of Caernarfon. As we wandered along narrow streets we were regaled with stories and information about the history of the area and shown views that we might not otherwise have found. This is an invaluable introduction for visitors and the relaxed and easy paced nature makes it available for anyone. We had the bonus of being informed about an event that evening at the Old Court House which involved a delightful meal with the accompaniment of mellow jazz. Thanks Melissa."

Peter Rawstrone, Lancashire, UK, February 2022

"Our group appreciated so many things about this tour. We appreciated the amount of information it included, complete with a book of pictures showing sites in different eras of history, and we appreciated the range of history it covered—from the Romans well through the Middle Ages. What we most liked, however, was the opportunity to get beyond the big castle and walk through the town with a native who had personal history with the place and still lived there. We didn't come just to see a monument to medieval English power; we wanted to get to know Wales, too, past and present. With this tour, we didn't have to choose between academic information and experiential anecdotes: we got it all." 

Professor Chad Engbers, Michigan, USA, February 2022

"We three girls were on a bus trip to Caernarfon with limited time. We thoroughly enjoyed the walk with lovely Melissa, she was informative & friendly, we learnt so much about Caernarfon. We saw places we never knew existed, with the help of Melissa. So if you're in Caernarfon for any length of time, book Melissa @ Caernarfon Walks. You'll be in for a real treat & it's well worth the money. Thank you so much. Diolch yn fawr iawn. Llawer o Gariad. XX" 

Lynda Roberts, Bridgend, South Wales, November 2021

“Thanks Melissa for a great tour this morning, we really enjoyed it. Really interesting facts and lovely to see parts of Caernarfon we'd never seen before. It was so nice to be able to bring Alfie our dog along too. He had a lovely walk and especially enjoyed the doggy ice cream he had later from the shop you recommended.”

“Enjoyable meander through Caernarfon. Melissa was very knowledgeable about the town and was able to show us perspectives we would otherwise have missed. We covered all the area within the town walls at a leisurely pace, Melissa still works in the town so has up to date knowledge.”

Cillian, Gloucestershire, England, September 2020

“We really enjoyed the tour we had today. The tour was very well prepared and gave a great overview of key historic moments of Caernarfon, taking you through the medieval old town, the Victorian slate industry and the Roman settlements. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and clearly had a passion for the history of her town. Keep up the good work.”

Eleonore Pearson, Bedfordshire, England, August 2020

“Would recommend Melissa’s guided walk to any visitor to Caernarfon! Well paced and informative, Melissa knows her stuff and gives you the background on Caernarfon castle and the town’s quirky places and historical events. Being a local and fluent Welsh speaker it was lovely to hear all the translations and local recommendations.”

Sally Casale, Buckinghamshire, England, August 2020

“A great way to discover Caernarfon with lots of details and little stories. Melissa is very friendly and is happy to answer your questions.”

- Laurène Martin, Paris, February 2020

"Melissa Lambe delivers an excellent tour of the walled city of Caernarfon. Plenty of historical and contemporary information--an excellent adjunct to a Castle tour. Find out why a medieval tower has a television antenna. Bring your questions and learn how the past underlies the present."

- Steve, USA, September 2019

"Today we enjoyed a fantastic and very informative guided walk round Caernarfon with Melissa. Her knowledge of local landmarks, buildings and stories really brought the town to life. There was time for photos and questions and the walk was well paced. Highly recommend."
