Per one customer who booked the Hike to the Summit of Snowdon!, "It was a beautiful experience, the start of the day was typically rainy and wet, thank you to David who kept checking up on me as we were heading to the summit and I was falling behind the pack. Coming down it was much more lively as the sun came out to play. Overall a memorable experience, bucket list ticked."
