Simon was an excellent guide! He loves what he does and he is knowledgeable and motivating. He is also great to talk to and take your mind off the hard parts! Definitely check the weather- layers, gloves and a hat are key if it's cold and windy! We had a great time- well worth it!

What an amazing experience - this was my first hike up snowdon with my son- Simon was our tour guide was friendly and knowledgable- he took time to make sure he got to know everybody on the trip and that we were okay - i can’t recommend this hike highly!!

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✔️😁

Great leader, friendly group. Appreciated being taken 'off the beaten track' to avoid some of the crowds and still appreciated wonderful views.

Strenuous but satisfying hike in very warm, cloudless, windless conditions. Great views of surrounding mountains and lakes in all directions. Made it to the summit! Simon was a great guide offering encouragement, help and insights throughout walk.

Had the most amazing day with my friend Julie . We had a tour guide , Tom, he was brilliant and made the climb so much fun . He was so informative , telling us the history of the mountain and looking after us . He was equipped with all safety measures and made the climb fun and interesting. If we could take him to every mountain with us we would . He was 5 stars. Such an awesome experience
Thanks Tom

My partner booked this for my 62nd birthday and what a great experience. Really enjoyed it although I found it a bit challenging as im getting older. Our guide Hywyn from Viator was a legend, cant speak highly enough of him. Not only was he very good as a guide but had a lot of very good information and local stories to tell which I was not expecting but enjoyed. He took a different route on the descent for safety reasons which was great because we saw a different part of the mountain scenery. So guys, if you are going to do this climb make sure you wear the appropriate clothing and footwear as it gets cold towards the top this time of year. And make sure you book through Viator and ask for Hywyn you will not be dissapointed.

Keith was an amazing guide, he was very knowledgeable and really cared for all of he's walkers.

Showed up on time, was prepared with everything, and his instructions to plan and prep for this experience were extremely clear. Simon was also available for one-off questions trough chat. The hiking experience was phenomenal, Simon genuinely spent time to get to know each of the hikers and encouraged us when we encountered tough segments.

Thanks for kind review Ashish. I'm so pleased you had such an enjoyable day. Simon.

As a solo trip I was quite anxious about feeling alone but Simon was extremely friendly and made the whole group very comfortable. Everybody in the group was lovely and Simon made it a pleasure. Giving lots of enthusiasm on the way.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Thanks Tileasha! It was great to spend the day on Snowdon with you. Simon.
Neil_S, Oct 2023
Simon was a tremendous guide, chatty and friendly without being overbearing. His local knowledge was invaluable, especially in "mixed" weather conditions, as he helped to break the route down into manageable chunks and turned it from a challenge into an adventure. I'd definitely book with Simon again!
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Thanks Neil. You did brilliantly! Glad you finally got to complete your challenge ;) Simon.
Gordon_R, Aug 2023
Great communication from our guide prior to our climb
As the weather was very hot he suggested a 6.30am start which proved to be a brilliant idea.
We were at the summit shortly after 9.15am and back down by 12.15pm before the sun had really got too hot.
he was very informative and kept the mood light

Had an amazing walk up Snowdon with guide Andy who was just great, really knowledgeable about the mountain and good fun. There were 8 of us in the group and everyone got on well, lots of laughs and all similar level of fitness. Was a beautiful sunny day so great visibility. Would recommend

Toni_M, Jun 2023
Joined a group of 8 with 1 tour guide who was so fantastic! So knowledgeable with a passion for the area and the Mountain, this gentleman was so kind and welcoming and allowed us to take our time, as a group of first-timers with two individuals aged 60+. I never once felt rushed or as if I was touring on my own and the whole experience was perfect :)
Response from Host, Jun 2023
I'm so pleased you enjoyed your day on Snowdon!
Rachel_W, May 2023
Amazing trip. Love being out with nature. The only disappointing part were the flilthy humans that do not respect nature and leave their rubbish on the mountain. I brought two bags of rubbish down. Please respect the mountain.
Response from Host, May 2023
I'm glad you had a good day out Rachel. We agree about the litter but thanks for picking some up own your way down!

Hi Aimee - thanks for the lovely review. It was great to guide you and George to the summit of Snowdon particularly for such a special occasion!
Natasha_F, Sep 2022
Did I enjoy it? Honestly? Not all of it 🤣. The first two thirds were okay and then it got really steep and I doubted at some points whether or not I’d actually get there. But I’m a stubborn old cow. It was really hard work but worth the views 🥰
The group I was with were amazing and really made the day .. along with Simon our guide who was lovely and very motivational.
Response from Host, Sep 2022
YOU WERE BRILLIANT Natasha! It's definitely a challenging hike but you smashed it! Well done again. I really enjoyed spending the day with you and the rest of the team.
