I’m planning a 4-5 week trip to England this fall and want to kick it off with a week in South Wales. I'm torn between renting a car to explore at my own pace or booking a guided tour to hit all the hotspots. What have you all found to be the best way to experience South Wales? Are there any must-see places that are easier to reach by car, or do tours really cover everything you need to see? Any recommendations would be super helpful!
 
South Wales is stunning, and both options have their perks! Renting a car gives you the freedom to explore hidden gems like the Brecon Beacons or the Gower Peninsula at your own pace. However, if you prefer a more structured experience, guided tours can be great for covering major spots like Cardiff Castle and the Pembrokeshire Coast. What kind of traveler are you—do you enjoy spontaneous detours, or do you prefer a curated itinerary?
 
Given your interest in a 4-5 week trip, I'd lean towards renting a car for your South Wales leg. It offers unparalleled flexibility to explore at your own rhythm, especially for places like the Brecon Beacons and the Gower Peninsula, which are breathtaking but might not be fully covered by tours. Plus, the scenic drives in South Wales are part of the experience. Have you considered mapping out a rough itinerary that includes both well-known attractions and some off-the-beaten-path spots? This way, you can enjoy the best of both worlds.

Renting a car definitely gives you the freedom to explore South Wales at your own pace, especially for those scenic drives and hidden gems. Have you thought about combining both options? Maybe start with a guided tour to get a feel for the area and then rent a car for the rest of your stay to dive deeper into places like the Brecon Beacons or the Gower Peninsula. This way, you can enjoy the convenience of a tour while still having the flexibility to explore on your own. What kind of experiences are you most looking forward to in South Wales?
