Jones, kindly offered to provide references to anyone interested in visiting Wales with Dragon Tours. His comments/contact details are below:

"I thought I knew Wales, but Mike showed me things I never dreamt of, and explained their fascinating historical significance. And it was FUN!"
"The greatest tour I have ever taken. Mike is a terrific guide."
"Mike's knowledge of Welsh history made this much more than a sightseeing tour; it was an education."

The Renfro/McMurtry Family - Summer 2008

'Mike Davies and Dragon Tours far exceeded our expectations. Mike is an extremely knowledgeable guide with expertise in Welsh history ancient and modern. He navigates with consummate ease the sometimes challenging Welsh highways and byways. He is friendly, helpful, and allows travellers to see sights and locations they might otherwise miss. His flexibility in planning our trip was greatly appreciated, as was his professional expertise in choosing comfortable and interesting accommodation. We would highly recommend Dragon Tours for anyone seeking a unique, tailored Wales experience.'

Ruth and Roger Ralph - Maine, USA

‘I just wanted to thank you once again for the really wonderful tour. It was everything I hoped for and more! Your knowledge of Welsh history, and your making it live by telling us about it and then showing us places where history happened was phenomenal! We loved every moment. We appreciate that the tour didn't end until you left us at the hotel in Birmingham! We wish you every good thing for your future, and hope we can meet again.’

Mr. & Mrs Tooley - Seattle, USA (Seattle Tour Operators)

‘We have been selling holidays to England, Scotland and Ireland for the last 20 years. We have only ever used Wales as a stop-over but this is the most picturesque countryside we have seen in the British Isles.’

Tom & Jean West - Iowa, USA (tracing their family tree)

‘Mike, again, thanks for making our trip very successful in all ways. Is it too early to make a reservation for next April? Seriously, we have had time to think our trip over and we would like to do another next year.’

Vic & Cyn Hibbert, Namibia, Africa

‘Hallo Mike, Greetings from Namibia. Just a short note to thank you most sincerely for the wonderful visit to Wales we spent with you. We really enjoyed very much seeing parts of your beautiful country and learning about some of its history, culture and traditions. Thank you too for your friendliness and all the trouble you took to ensure that we had such a successful trip, we appreciate it very much. One day, if we are able, we will return to Wales so that you can show and teach us more.  The personal attention and effort combined with the beauty and secrets of Wales make Dragon Tours a highly recommendable experience.'

Ruth Taylor - Perth, Australia

‘Just wanted to send you a quick note to say hello and to thank you once again for a great time in Wales. It really was extra-special and I keep telling people it was truly a spiritual experience!’

Jane Luellen & Christie Triplett - Kansas, USA

‘We loved our stay in Wales, what a beautiful country. When we got to London, we were very glad our stay there was short. It didn't compare to the time we spent in Wales. You made it all so great and accessible - what would we have done without you?’

Gretchen & Missy Andeel - New York, USA

‘Recently I took a trip with my mother to the UK, and we spent three days with an incredible tour guide named Mike Davies. We fondly called him Dr. Mike. Dr. Mike has a PhD in history and possesses a huge amount of knowledge about Wales and about the entire United Kingdom. He was a vast resource of information to us while we were there, and he took us on a lovely, exciting tour full of sights as well as stories, and I feel that we owe much of the enjoyment of our trip to Mike's involvement with us.’

Judy Oatis and Judy Nally - New England, USA 

‘Thank you for the wonderful trip you really do a great service. Those tour buses have trouble on the A roads, never mind having them do more scenic routes. No wonder most tours through Wales take 1 day!!! It is a spectacular country and needs to be seen correctly.

Katherine Kidder - Maine, USA
