Why not combine two or more tours?
Although the tours include directions and road numbers, it would still be useful to pick up a map of the Brecon Beacons National Park. These are easily obtainable from the various tourist information centres in the area or from the Mountain Centre, Libanus.
...alternatively if you would prefer to explore the Brecon Beacons with a Guide and have an even more fun and informative day out, then you can contact one of our local, friendly Guides who will be pleased to take you to the various sites or design a personal tour for you.
