As regular readers will be aware we interviewed AmeriCymru member Janet Folatjar a few weeks ago about her forthcoming visit to Wales. At that time she agreed to a follow up interview which we are please to present today.

Jant and her husband Don from Pittsburgh, PA visited Wales and signed up for the Celticos /AmeriCymru Trail Tour . We spoke to Janet about the trip and her experience with Celticos.

While Janet was in Wales she was interviewed by Welsh language TV station S4C ( see pic below ). S4C have agreed to make the interview available for viewing online so that our readers in the US can access it. Keep checking back for the latest developments. We will post as soon as the video is available.

AmeriCymru: Hi Janet and thanks for agreeing to do this follow up interview with us upon your return from Wales. How did you enjoy the trip?

Janet: Ceri our trip was wonderful! I would say it was a once in a lifetime experience. The weather was mild and sunny which allowed beautiful vistas of North Wales and Anglesey. What a beautiful area...I never imagined it to be so picturesque! We could have not seen so many unique places without the help of Celticos. Being a bit timid about driving, I had originally planned on using public transportation during our stay. But I when I found that the Ameri/Cymru Trail tour visited many of the places I wanted to see it was a "no brainer". It really simplified getting around and we saw many unique places that we would have not been able to access via public transportation. Alywn, our tour guide, is very knowledgeable about the local history which provided information we could have not found in a guide book. Alywn also arranged contact/meetings with local people to enhance the experience. We were overwhelmed by the tour and learned so much about North Wales.

AmeriCymru: In particular how would you rate the Celticos/AmeriCymru Trail tour?

Janet: I would rate the tour as excellent!

AmeriCymru: What, for you, was the highlight of your vacation?

Janet: Wow, there were so many highlights! I really enjoyed visting the old slate quarries in Llanberis and copper mine in Almwch. I also enjoyed the stop at the New York Cottages Museum in Penmaenmawr. I never knew that there was a fort built to protect the UK against the Americans during the Revolutionary War or that the lifeboat system in UK is all volunteer!

AmeriCymru: Would you recommend others to book with Celticos?

Janet: Absolutely!!! Celticos offers tours that take the tourist away from the typical site. We are looking forward to visiting again and plan on touring with Celticos in the future!
