Great weather, beautiful scenery & a knowledgeable tour guide - Gave us a great insight into the lakes. We had visited before but only to a couple of the more well known lakes. We were very lucky with the weather & our driver Tim who was very knowledgeable but also made it a fun & interesting experience 🥰

Memorable Ten Lakes Tour - We had a wonderful experience during the ten lakes tour. Our tour guide Gordon was not only showing us all the beautiful spots but also giving us a lot of history about the entire Lake District. We would highly recommend this tour.

Perfect from start to finish ! - My sister, son and I have just got back from an amazing day spent with Tim on the ten lake full day tour. Tim manages to drive and park with such grace and aplomb all the while telling us interesting information in such a fun and interactive manner. Thank you Tim for adding so much energy into what stunning sights we enjoyed at a perfectly planned pace. Regards, Megan “the a queen of pertinent questions”.

Historic Lakes District - There is more driving and less walking with this tour but ample stops to take in the scenery and also flexibility depending on weather. David was knowledgeable and respectful. The coach was comfortable and the hour spent in Keswick gave us an opportunity to explore and have lunch. My only comment is I would have liked some periods of silence to gather thoughts between places and absorb the scenery as not all commentary was relevant to the tour. I highly recommend this tour if you are short on time for your stay.

Great Day with Beautiful Scenery - We had a great day on 21st August with an excellent, friendly and knowledgeable driver who picked us up from our hotel. He was welcoming and his commentary was not only fact based but fun. A great way to see the Lake District in one go. Highly recommended.

Don't bother - All Beatrix Potter; nothing else; and dumps in tourist sites. - I was very disappointed. The tour could have covered so much information but instead it was all Beatrix Potter (THREE recordings were played in the van), of which I have no interest! There was no discussion of the interesting geographical formation of the Lake District; no discussion of local tourism, who comes and visits, changing demographics, history of famous people who lived there, role of the Lake District in the history of the country, demographic issues, well, ANYTHING but Beatrix Potter. I am told this may be because the Japanese who tour are interested in her but there were no Japanese on our group. The tour guide's voice was FAR too loud in the van and the A/C was far too cold. The tour involved us being dropped in three tourist areas and told to explore. So, you walk around and spend money on food or souvenirs. In other words, it is a lazy tour. Or an incredibly dumbed down one. In sharp contrast, our group's tour to Wales was informative and delightful.
