Best tour ever! - This was the best tour trip we have had in years. The driver Jillian was excellent, our driver Sandra kept us safe on some very small and twisting roads. We saw so much on this one day tour, it was fantastic. What incredible culture in history in the area… The guide was extremely informative and there was not a question she could not answer. We had just the right number of stops throughout the trip and we had great views from our Van. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

A Great day tour of the Lake Districts - Our guide, Tim provided an outstanding experience on our full-day tour of the Lake District. He is highly knowledgeable, engaging, and kept our group’s attention throughout the day. His deep understanding and passion for the region’s history, culture, and landmarks was impressive. He answered all questions thoroughly while skillfully navigating the narrow roads and busy traffic. We gained fascinating insights and learned so much about the area’s rich heritage. His humour, storytelling, and expertise made the day truly memorable. It was a well-organized and informative tour from start to finish. We are grateful for such a professional and enjoyable experience and highly recommend others to take this tour. We would never have seen these beautiful views etc. had we tried to tour on our own. Well worth the cost. Thanks Tim !! Warmly Maxine and Mervyn.

Fabulous tour that we will always remember - Our driver Tim provided us with an absolutely marvelous all-day tour. He was engaging, amusing and recounted no end of history and culture of the wide area, replete with anecdotes and personal observations. We were even able to discuss climate change with him and ask many questions as we had the dumb luck of being the only passengers in the van that would have held seven. When the boat trip included in the tour took the route that did not include Wordsworth's daffodils which I, as a scholar of Wordsworth and Coleridge was dying to see, Tim went out of his way to take us to the spot and waited patiently for us to marvel and take photos. He dropped us off for lunch in Grasmere, recommending Baldry's Tea Room, which did not disappoint with its lush Welsh rarebit with homemade chutney, rich hot chocolate with mounds of local whipped cream and hot spiced apple juice. There were of course many more highlights. We hope to return to enjoy his Beatrix Potter tour!

Remarkable tour - The two ladies that led our tour did an extraordinary job. This tour of the Lake Country was a major highlight of our entire 3 week trip that included a Rick Steves 13 day tour of Scotland.

Beautiful day at the Lakes - The lake district is beautiful. Our guides Jillian and Sandra were knowledgeable about the lakes and fun to spend the day with. Visited a market, had a boat ride and visited a historic Gingerbread and fudge shop and spent time at a working slate mine. Stopped for many photo opportunities on the hillside and visited the mysterious rock formations at Castle Riggstone circle. Many tourists were in the area so traffic was a challenge but Sandra handled it like a champ! Overall the day was beautiful, interesting and fun.
