Reviews and Testimonials

A fantastic experience from the moment we booked through to completing the walk. Our guide, Jo, was lovely and demonstrated a passion and comprehensive knowledge for walking and the local area. Jo made the walk that much more enjoyable by taking the time to get to know everyone along the way. We all thoroughly enjoyed the experience and we’ll certainly be planning to return in the near future. Thank you.

This is without question a highly organised team. The information prior to the walk is brilliant and the guides are both welcoming and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this company for those not wanting to walk alone or those in need of a bit more confidence to tackle the mountains. An excellent day out and I can’t wait to get back.
Petra Schofield

I highly recommend Mountain Walks. They are very knowledgeable, helpful and professional. The Carneddau walk was wonderful for the views and remoteness. This is one of the best walks I have done. I will certainly be looking for another walk to do with them. Thank you for a great day.

Outstanding value for money. A challenging but highly enjoyable walk led by a guide with expert knowledge and a warm, friendly manner, and made some new friends.

Fantastic Carneddau walk with Johnny & Gerallt. Felt safe and in good hands throughout and their local knowledge of the area made the walk even more of a fulfilling experience. Highly recommended 🙂 Will definitely book on another walk.
Marisa Allen

The Carneddau walk was superb – as a hiking virgin, unfamiliar with the terrain of Northern Wales but very keen to explore the mountains, I found Mountain Walks, the prime candidate to ready myself for my first day hike in the area. Leaving the navigation to our guide, it was a joy to relax and concentrate on the scenery and the walk, with like-minded individuals sharing the same experience. Having joined this walk. Mountain Walks is a supreme outfit which I can’t recommend enough.

What our clients say...

“It was my first time at Snowdonia so I was a bit apprehensive about what to expect. But it was excellent from the word go… Jo encouraged us from start to finish and I tackled scrambling and other aspects of mountain walking that I never envisioned myself doing. Out of the comfort zone but in a safe, controlled manner. Jo made you feel like you could anything!”
