CROESO i raglen deithiau elfyn

thomas 2016

Rwy’n falch o gyflwyno fy Llyfryn Gwyliau newydd ar gyfer 2016. Mae’r llwyddiant a gawsom yn 2015 a chefnogaeth werthfawr fy nghwsmeriaid ffyddlon a newydd wedi bod yn wych. Yn ogystal â’r hen ffefrynnau, mae’n bleser gennyf gyflwyno gwyliau i leoliadau newydd a chyffrous i chi hefyd. Nid llyfryn gwyliau cyffredin mo hwn, ac nid yw’r teithiau’n golygu ymweld â lleoedd yn unig. Mae’n llawn teithiau sydd wedi’u cynllunio’n ofalus, gyda theithiau penodol i atyniadau sydd wedi’u dewis yn arbennig. Gallaf gynnig gwyliau unigryw ar themâu gwahanol, gydag arweinwyr diddorol, proffesiynol a llawn gwybodaeth. Rydym yn dewis pob gwesty yn ôl ansawdd, lleoliad, bwyd da a gwerth am arian.

Fodd bynnag, nid dim ond y lleoliad sy’n bwysig. Fy nod i yw sicrhau bod eich gwyliau’n un i’w gofio. Mae’n golygu gwneud ffrindiau newydd, cael amser da gyda digon o chwerthin a sicrhau eich bod yn cael gwyliau i'w gofio ac atgofion i’w trysori. Yn naturiol, er mwyn gwneud hyn yn bosib, rwyf wedi sicrhau bod pob gyrrwr yn ddymunol, yn ddwyieithog ac yn gyfeillgar a bob amser ar gael i’ch helpu a sicrhau eich bod yn mwynhau eich gwyliau.

Mae hyn i gyd yn rhan o’r profiad, felly'r cyfan sydd angen i chi ei wneud yw eistedd yn ôl, ymlacio a mwynhau.

Edrychaf ymlaen at eich gweld chi ar rai o’n teithiau byr a’n gwyliau.

Gyda chyfarchion,

Elfyn

WELCOME to tEithiau elfyn

thomas tours 2016

I am proud to present my new 2016 Holiday Brochure. The success throughout 2015 and the valued support of my loyal and new customers have been fantastic. In addition to the firm favourites I am pleased to present you with some new and exciting destinations.

This is no ordinary holiday brochure and the tours are not just about visiting places, it is full of carefully designed tours with fine detailed itineraries to specially selected attractions. I can offer unique themed breaks with interesting, knowledgeable and professional guides. Each hotel is carefully selected for the quality, location, good food and value for money.

However, it is not all about the destination, my aim is to make your holiday one to remember, it is about making new friends, having a good time with plenty of laughter and to ensure you have a holiday to remember and with memories to treasure.

Naturally, to make this possible I have ensured that all drivers are pleasant, bilingual, friendly and always available to help and make sure you enjoy your break.

This is our part of the bargain, all you need to do is sit back relax and enjoy.

I look forward to see you all on some of our short breaks and holidays.

Kind regards,
