Tom is every experienced tour guide. We learned a lot about some hiking advises, historical infos and some best places to check around the area. He made us all at ease despite the bad condition of the weather and always update us on the plan. We will definitely come back and look for him as our tour guide!

Thank you Andy Hewlett

Rob_L, May 2026
I booked the sunrise hike up Mt. Snowdon for my wife and eldest daughter. They both raved about the trip and tell me that Andy Hewlett is a superb guide, very knowledgable and passionate about the outdoors. They would both highly recommend using Andy for your guided hiking needs.

We had the most amazing experience. Our guides kept us informed and on track to reach the peak for sunrise. They both had so much knowledge of the mountain and made sure everyone in the party felt safe and happy.

Best hiking experience

Safe, fun and great value for money!

For somebody that suffers with multiple disabilities including T1 diabetes and a brain injury - I found this trip to he safe but also incredibly fun! Our guide, Tom was part of one of the mountain rescue teams. We were lucky enough to see him help out with a helicopter rescue on the way down. Highlight of the hike was shouting “f**k you brain tumour” from the summit (Tom helped capture this moment on camera) My brain injury can leave me getting confused easily, struggle to understand instructions etc but Tom made the thing smooth and easily understandable. Tom was very client focused so we definitely felt like we were getting value for money! If you’ve made it this far in, I highly recommend booking with this company!

Walking in the dark was...

Walking in the dark was fabulous and our tour guide was really helpful and very knowledgable about the mountain . Being at the top as it got light , although not a sunrise was just majical

We did it and will do it again!! We had a fabulous time climbing Snowdon

Ayeda_Z, Jul 2024
Ahhhh where can I start!!! It rained and rained and rained some more but my husband and I had one of our favourite nights climbing Snowdon with our guide Tom, Keith and our new friend from Singapore. Tom was kind, interesting, caring and most of all cared for our safety. There was nothing he couldn’t do to ensure we had the best experience . I am sure if he could he would have given us the sunrise we hiked for but we got more than that. An immensely enjoyable time, laughter, and interesting conversation. The best thing about Tom was he was interested in all of us and took time to get to know us individually and that is extremely rare. Thank you Tom!! You are a bloody Legend. Ayeda and Andrew.

Excellent communication...
