About Fogo
Despite being Irish, since moving to Wales I have developed a love and fascination for the underappreciated cities of Cardiff & Swansea, as well as the country as a whole.
As a historian, journalist, traveller and long-term tourism professional across multiple cities, I have developed a passion for history, travel and culture. So, becoming a walking tour guide in Cardiff & Swansea gave me an opportunity to share information about my adopted home to inquisitive visitors from around the world, and it is a perfect way to embrace these skills and interests.
Following a challenging couple of years or so due to Covid-19, we at Fogo's Free Tours have returned to regular touring and sharing our love of Wales to the world once again.

I have visited more than 20 such free walking tours, I'm fond of them. And I think Eugene makes tours spectacular and memorable. It's the perfect local point of view on history, traditions, present and future, and habits of welsh people.
Tripadvisor
Eugene gave my group (of ~30 college students) a wonderful tour of Swansea. Eugene is extremely knowledgeable of the area and we got to see and find out the history of all of downtown and the marina area of Swansea. Very entertaining speaker as well, so we had a blast. Highly recommend.
Our tour of Cardiff by Eugene was fantastic! I’ve lived in Cardiff for three years and I learned more during the tour than I have in my time living here. Eugene is very personable and made our tour very fun as he adapted it to the audience’s nationalities. 10/10 highly recommend!
