Hello, I'm Jim and I'm a qualified guide, mountaineer and ecologist. I have worked as a guide extensively across Wales since 1997 and have intimate knowledge of the mountains, coasts, culture and history of this ancient land. I am also a member of a voluntary mountain rescue team of the busy Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue Organisation North Wales has become my home for many reasons. Nowhere else in Britain will you find such variety, in such a compact area, as you will in Snowdonia - or Eryri as it is known in Welsh. I have fallen in love with the scenery and wildlife as well as the local culture. My work has taken me around the world, leading expeditions, training teachers and guiding in the great outdoors. My work also sees me guiding groups in the European Alps, especially the Tour of Mont Blanc and Swiss Haute route during the summer months limiting my availability during these months. Qualified mountaineer Qualified first aid trainer Masters degree in conservation Over 20 years guiding wildlife tours Mountain rescue member I provide a guided tour service and can meet and collect from your location (within reason). I have a vehicle to carry 3 passengers comfortably with a 4th seat available.

Jim L. is great tour guide and very flexible. We went off script a bit and saw Castell Harlech as part of our tour through Snowdonia as well as some other sites along the way. He's knowledge and enthusiasm of Welsh culture is evident, and we even learned a few lessons on pronunciation.

Jim did a great job of adjusting the tour content to acomodate my and my wife's handicaps. We would describe our Snowdonia experience as perfect!

Terrific tour of the beautiful Welsh Seaside locations. Jim is a "real" outdoorsman and a fun and knowledgeable guide to everything there is to see in Anglesey. He has a great personality and a clear and easy understanding of the history of the place. Highly recommend.
