Diolch anferth i Smyrff a’i griw i helpu criw o fenwod (20 ohonom) i ddringo Tri Chopa Cymru mewn diwrnod. Yr oedd Smyrff yn arbennig yn cyfathrebu drwy Whatsapp ac ebost, ac yn ateb bob cwestiwn oedd gennym. Rhoddodd rhestr cit i ni a chyngor gyda bwyd ac ati. Yr oedd ei wybodaeth am y mynyddoedd yn wych a rhoddodd diogelwch pawb yn gyntaf. Llwyddodd pob un ohonom yn y grwp i gerdded y tri copa, gyda chefnogaeth Smyrff a’i griw. Diwrnod bythgofiadwy! Diolch am bob peth Smyrff. Peidiwch ag oedi bwcio Heicio a Beicio Eryri. Gwych!

I can’t overstate how amazing our walk with Smyrff was. My two teens and I had an absolutely incredible day. It didn’t matter that much of our walk was through clouds of mist… Smyrff kept us informed about flora, fauna, geography, terrain, and Welsh legends, pacing our walk so that he’d pause to tell us stories when he knew I was short of breath…making it seem like a story was required for that moment so that I never felt silly for needing a break. He is a wealth of knowledge, and very kind and safe with the whole trek. He even took photos throughout on his much better phone, sending them to me at the end of the hike. Smyrff is the best!!

A group of friends completed a sunrise walk on Yr Wyddfa / Snowdon up the Llanberis path and down the Watkin path for the MND charity. Bu i grŵp o ffrindiau gwblhau taith i gopa’r Wyddfa i weld y gwario fyny y llwybr Llanberis ag i lawr llwybr y Watkin i’r elusen MND.

Hike and Bike Snowdonia supported several staff and young people from Birmingham Children's Trust to conquer the challenge of climbing Snowdon.

The entire experience was very organised, professional, and extremely positive. The support that was received throughout the hike both up and down the mountain was exceptional with many of the young people complimenting the professionalism and abilities of the two mountain leaders that accompanied us.

Both mountain leaders went above and beyond to help and support through positive words of encouragement, and acts of kindness such as offering to hold the bags of young people and staff who were struggling during certain points.

Our experience was an overall success that provided both staff and young people with a huge sense of achievement and provided many of the young people with their first ever opportunity of exploring a world outside of their usual city life.

As a Service we would 100% recommend Hike & Bike Snowdonia and we will definitely be utilising this company again for future planned hiking trips.

At 2wish Cymru, we recently had the pleasure of planning a sunrise walk up Snowdon with Smyrff from Hike and Bike Snowdonia, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience. Our small group of six felt incredibly supported as Smyrff carefully considered everyone's capabilities, ensuring a steady and enjoyable pace for all.

Smyrff's kindness and consideration for various fitness levels, coupled with his extensive knowledge of Snowdon, made the walk not only comfortable but also fascinating. His insights added a special touch, making the journey even more memorable.

Everyone felt at ease and had an amazing experience. We cannot thank Smyrff enough for his assistance with our event and his contribution to raising vital awareness and funds for 2wish Cymru. We wholeheartedly recommend Hike and Bike Snowdonia and are already looking forward to booking our Snowdon Sunrise Walk with Smyrff again next year.

Had a brilliant time on a recent trek up Snowdon for sunrise guided by Smyrff (Hike and bike Snowdonia). His knowledge and experience made the hike a safe and memorable one. Highly recommended. Diolch

So worth it! Myself and my family could enjoy every step, take time to look around, conserve energy and just take step by step whilst Smyrf sorted the route, winds, weather, time and pace…. Smyrf was so encouraging, calming, and educational… we learn so much every time we go up the mountains with him. Wouldn’t do such challenges any other way. Even borrowed a walking stick, I swear he has everything in his backpack :) Communication before and after excellent… 1st class service, although I now consider him as family after all his support. Loved every single minute

From start to finish Smyrff was fantastic. The communication was great from enquiry until the date of event, his knowledge and expertise was invaluable and was a pleasure to have on our walk. All of our group commented what a great person he is and would definitely use again and recommend to others .

The communication with Smryff from the moment we booked was excellent. We received lots of great info about our route and kits to bring etc. Smyrff met us at the bus stop and was very friendly and chatty from the start of the day right to the end of the day. He was constantly adding in lots of local knowledge and interesting statistics on the walk. He encouraged us every step of the way without rushing us, he let the group dictate the pace and when to stop for breaks. His friendly and helpful demeanour gave us all a lift when we felt tired. We would highly recommend Smyrff for anyone needing a guide around Snowdonia.

Great week with a great group of people Would highly recommend the trip

A very well organised trip and would recommend to anyone.

What an excellent experience on this 5 day hike of the Atlas Mountains and up Toubkal @ 4167m great memories made with a fantastic bunch. Thanks hike @ bike snowdonia (Smyrff) for organising this challenging but very rewarding hike.

Had an amazing time on the Toubkal trek, highly recommended and very well organised. The route, accommodation, food and logistics surrounding the trek was spot on. This was topped off with a couple of days in Marakesh to relax and take in the culture.

Well organised and well run from start to finish.

Wanted to thank Paul so very much for the being the most totally awesome, patient, encouraging, amazing guide ever!!! He really was the best! I was turning 60 and have some health problems but nothing was too much for this man. His calm, easy, friendly manner made this a day to treasure for ever - can't thank him enough. Already planning the next one!!!

What an amazing day, we had a full day of hiking and scrambling and learned lots. Smyrff is a great guide and very positive person, we can't wait until the next hike.

Smyrff really helped boost our confidence in micro-navigation in poor weather conditions during a recent ML Refresher course in Eryri. Then with a second day in the Glyderau, practicing security on steep ground and ropework techniques. Smyrff is extremely knowledgeable in local flora/fauna and Welsh culture and his relaxing demeanor helped us to soak up all the information we will need for our assessment. Highly recommend Hike & Bike Snowdonia for anyone wanting to venture out for all that Eryri has to offer.

Diwrnod gwych o ddysgu am fywyd gwyllt a daeareg yng Nghwm Idwal yng nghwmni hwyliog Iolo a Smyrff. Profiad gwerthfawr oedd derbyn arbenigedd Iolo trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg a dysgu am natur yn fy mamiaith. Yn argymell i unrhyw un sy'n ymddiddori mewn natur, cadwraeth a'r iaith Gymraeg. Cwrs holl bwysig i unrhyw un sy'n mynydda ac i arweinwyr mynydd er mwyn trosglwyddo enwau Cymraeg ar fyd natur i eraill.

Cwre ardderchog iawn wedi dysgu llawar a braf oedd cal y cwrs natur efo Iolo yn y gymraeg.

Diwrnod gwych. Iolo yn wybodus ac yn ddifyr, yn ol y disgwyl, ac wedi cynnau brwdfrydedd ynof i ddysgu mwy. Lot o wybodaeth diddorol - nid dim ond am rywogaethau, ond hefyd am y ffordd mae'r tir wedi cael ei ffermio dros y canrifoedd a'r effaith mae hynny wedi ei gael ar fyd natur. Gwych hefyd cael yr hyfforddiant yma yn Gymraeg.
