Everything very smoothly organised. Very friendly people, excellent communication!

Jan, ChilternsAugust 2026

Knowledgeable about every detail of the walk + accommodations.

Stephen & JoelleJuly 2026

Excellent customer service, good itineraries, consistently good accommodation and very informative and clear walking pack. We like distance walks because it is totally absorbing experience which enables us to switch off and tune in with our surroundings.

A Celtic Trails walkerJuly 2026

Having done the walk we now recognise just how hard you must have worked on our behalf to identify accommodation providers close enough for each stage of the walk. We congratulate you for having found us the best possible option in each situation. A wonderful trip spent with my daughter

A Celtic Trails walkerJune 2026

Very helpful and informative

Matthew HitchonJune 2026

Celtic Trails are good, reliable, efficient. Good option if you can't be bothered to organise the trip yourself. I enjoyed the walk, The countryside is wonderful and so peaceful. It was nice not to encounter many other people. The walk is challenging, but not excessively if well prepared.

Celtic Trails are experienced, offered good advice and have good relationships with suppliers who are all experts. All practicalities were covered with good places to stay. Would never have done the distance in the time without the support of Celtic Trails!

A Celtic Trails walkerAugust 2024

I would recommend Celtic Trails, they were better than other walking companies I've used before.

Dirk Dufour, BrusselsJuly 2024

This walk with Celtic Trails really was simply perfect. Your experience shows in the walking pack, containing all the essential information in a clear and concise manner, include provision options. Everything ran like clockwork, from transfers to lodgings and walking information. And we were warmly received in excellent guesthouses. This is what you are hoping for, to be relieved of all the hassle.

Helpful and probably the only practical option for walking holidays in remote areas with limited accommodation

Celtic Trails are to be particularly commended on their Walk Pack - much superior to other companies! Celtic Trails provided a very personal service; the quality of the accommodation was excellent, and the organisation of the whole trip was seamless. Thank you Celtic Trails for providing such an enjoyable experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the remoteness of Glyndwr Way - I didn't see a single other walker for the whole 9 days!

A Celtic Trails walkerJune 2023

Celtic Trails are better than other companies - I would recommend to a friend. I will be back! This solo journey restored my soul.

Chris WestJune 2023

I would highly recommend Celtic Trails to a friend. All of our hosts were also very complimentary about dealing with them. Part of the appeal of Glyndwr's Way is the isolation: we only met 4 other walkers all week. A

A Celtic Trails walkerMay 2023

Celtic Trails have good local knowledge and contacts, which meant well-motivated people taking care of us in accommodation and transportation.

tonyMay 2023

The whole process of booking was very easy and I can't fault the arrangements or info provided

Pam R.May 2023

Celtic Trails is a great tour company for inn-to-inn hikes in Wales. They're dependable, responsive, and reasonably-priced. I'm sure the hike had a positive impact on my husband's and my physical health (how could it not after doing so much hard-core hiking ), and our mental health benefited from the forced downtime, as well as the opportunity to take in beautiful scenery and spend quality time together.

A Celtic Trails walkerApril 2023

Celtic Trails were well organized, reliable, responsive to queries, arranged good accommodation and gave a good range of suggestions for evening meals. Many thanks for all your work.

A Celtic Trails walkerApril 2023

Very efficient. Good reputation. Saved me a huge amount of organisation.

Paul, CaliforniaJuly 2022

Glyndwr's is a memorable walk. I met no other through hikers on the trail, which appealed to me (but may not be for everyone). The countryside is extraordinarily beautiful. All of the accoms were more than satisfactory. Thanks for arranging such a splendi

JaneJuly 2022

Celtic Trails provided very prompt communication which is always appreciated. Our wishes were always accommodated when possible. They were professional, friendly and had excellent attention to detail. Everything went very smoothly. An off the beaten track hike that was beautiful and peaceful. The soft rolling hills, long views and tranquil valleys, woodland and rivers make it very special. Long distance hiking gets you into a rhythm that takes you right away from the normal pace of everyday life.

Hester DunlopJune 2022

I would describe my experience with Celtic Trails as a premium quality service. Attention to detail Flexible and accommodating. Very helpful. This was one of the best holidays we've had. Thank you so much, Penny, for a brilliant holiday. Nothing could match how well supported we felt.

A Celtic Trails walkerJune 2022

Celtic Trails - reliable, well-organised, know their suppliers, friendly. Strongly recommend. These remote hill are outstanding.

A great walk with comfortable and welcoming accommodation and lovely food. Everything worked really well from start to finish. I finished yesterday and am feeling fit, healthy and invigorated.

Celtic Trails were very efficient, easy to contact and arrangements all worked well.

Great walking. Well organised. Helpful staff. We stayed in lowly little towns and saw wonderful flowers, lots of sheep and lambs and also kites. Hotels and taxi firms all commented that Celtic Trails are good to deal with.

Jane, LondonApril 2022

Celtic Trails are a very efficient company that uses excellent accommodation. We chose this walk because it's so empty.

ElizabethMarch 2022

Glyndwr's Way is a fantastic, quiet walk with brilliant scenery. This is our 11th long distance walk - we would recommend Celtic Trails.

A Celtic Trails walkerOctober 2021

Glyndwr's Way was a delight. All days stunningly beautiful. I would describe Celtic Trails as trouble free, well organised, decent accommodation, good info re local shops / refreshments.

A Celtic Trails walkerOctober 2021

Celtic Trails feels like personal service. Attention to detail and excellent communication. Fabulous scenery, interesting history and we saw no one else walking until the last day when we saw three people briefly.

A Celtic Trails walkerAugust 2021

Exemplary service from Celtic Trails. Great communication and attention to detail. Very thoughtful company. Clearly care about what they do. Walked St. Cuthbert's with you in June 2021 - also super. Being close to nature and being outdoor is elixir for the soul! Being active is living. The only way that anyone can truly exhale. Glyndwr's Way is a very special walk. We saw no one on the walk until the last day. Sublime experience. Views stunning. Quiet / silence was deafening. Very special.

M. AlcockAugust 2021

Best walk pack and overall organisation [compared to other companies]

MichelleAugust 2021

Celtic Trails were effortless, convenient, seamless. I had previously arranged everything myself. I raised lots of money for St. David's Hospice by completing this walk. I'm really pleased.

David & Judy, StroudAugust 2021

Worked without hitches. Celtic Trails were efficient. Transfers were all really friendly and efficient.

Richard TookeyAugust 2021

I have recommended Celtic Trails to walkers en route. All ran smoothly. Penny was very accommodating when I wanted to adjust my holiday dates and when Covid restrictions necessitated further readjustments.

Simon and AlisonJune 2021

Professional, efficient, friendly service. We feel refreshed after this holiday. Nice and quiet walk with beautiful countryside.

A Celtic Trails walkerJune 2021

Celtic Trails are well organised. We recommended Celtic Trails en route to another walker who had booked with a rival.

Clive, ReadingSeptember 2020

Well organised, decent accommodation, good information Good to get away from my house for 10 days

A Celtic Trails walkerSeptember 2019

We very much enjoyed - long distance walking is our favourite form of holiday. Celtic Trails were friendly and efficient and would would recommend them to a friend.

A Celtic Trails walkerSeptember 2019

Thank you, Celtic Trails, for your arrangements - very good accommodations.

A Celtic Trails walkerAugust 2019

Everything worked as planned. It was very quiet - we walked 11 miles before seeing anyone one day. We only saw 5 - 6 cars!

CraigenAugust 2019

Enjoyed the scenery, good accommodation. Celtic Trails were positive and well-organised.

H. GibsonAugust 2019

Celtic Trails were 1st class - everything executed smoothly, accommodations always pleasant and several were superb. A walking holiday is the best way to really get to know the country and some of its people.

ReimannJuly 2019

It was perfect - always :-) Celtic Trail were 100% professional, friendly and flexible. This was out first time with a company and we would recommend them to a friend.

D. EvansJuly 2019

This is the 4th trail we have done with you - always a real pleasure and much better than other companies; very efficient service; excellent accommodation, with positive hosts; good documentation; all transfers included.

A Celtic Trails walkerMay 2019

The experience was great. The accommodation were chosen really well, nice hosts and good food! I also like the plan, shorter walking hours in the beginning and the end of the trip. Of course, the trail is well-marked and the weather co-operated for the most part.

Nick B-BMay 2019

Penny was very efficient, professional and friendly. I was very impressed with the very details 'walk pack'. I love walking on my own, so that I can concentrate on the views and sounds around me and not be distracted by conversation.

A. StaresMay 2019

Everything worked to plan, much easier than booking ourselves and valued the suggested itinerary. We wouldn't have thought of the two-night stops ourselves. We enjoy point to point walks and the scenery on Glyndwr's Way is spectacular. A definitely under-rated part of the country.

H. MorrisMay 2019

It's a great walk.

P & DApril 2019

We always have these holidays as we love being in the countryside; outdoor all day and we really enjoy walking - husband enjoyed Wales as a child, so wanted to return. We do walks like this across UK and Europe 2 or 3 times every year and hope to carry on in repeat places and new places.

D.C.October 2018

Thank you for organising everything - so much simpler than sorting it all myself. Walking alone - it was good to know I'd be missed by someone at the end of the day if I was injured and didn't show up when expected.

P.E.September 2018

Celtic Trails were excellent and met my expectations. What I most enjoyed about this walk was the remoteness and the scener

G.D.August 2018

We enjoyed the remote countryside - it was very scenic, despite three misty days.

M.H.August 2018

We loved the remoteness and the silence of this walk.

Noor de LangeMay 2018

Walking is living.

WilliamsJuly 2017

"Overall everything was excellent - totally up to expectations."

EastJuly 2017

"This is a lovely walk, not too ambitious, but absolutely beautiful in the spring. The walk from Dylife to Machynlleth on a glorious spring day was totally memorable. After such a pleasant stay with Maya at Bron Y Llys we were already singing, but the views at Glaslyn blew us away. We were warmly welcomed by everyone in Mid Wales and would encourage anyone thinking of doing this walk to book up."

JonesJune 2017

"Celtic Trails compared very well with other companies. Pleased with accommodation, especially with our request regarding bed sizes - which went without a hitch, Thank-you."
