Magical tour - excellent guide! - This was a fantastic tour and the highlight of a 2 week trip to the UK. David is knowledgeable, friendly and professional. He customized my tour based on weather conditions and my personal preferences and we had a magical day touring the incredibly beautiful Lakes region. I also made a new friend in David. What a treasure he is! Thank you for a spectacular tour - I will tell all my friends and family to book this if they ever make the trip to this truly magnificent area.

Full Day Tour of The Lake Dstrict. - Wow, what a belter of a day. Te best thing we did was to book David from Brook Tours. We booked the all day private tour. We were a party of 4 - me, my wife and her parents.
David picked us up on time having previously told us where we could park in Windermere without charge as we were staying in Kendall. The vehicle was clean and comfortable and David was the perfect host and guide. He is passionate about the area that he lives in and we had an informative and enjoyable day full of fun and facts. He is very knowledgeable about the area and took us to places that we would not have found on our own.
We were blessed with great weather - September can be a bit hit and miss!!
If you are new to the Lakes and want someone to show you the best of the area then David of Brook Tours is your man. You will not be disappointed.
Thanks again David for a great day, it was good to meet you and spend a day in your company.
Best wishes, Aron, Michele, Betty & Stewart.

Excellent All day tour of Lake District - My wife and I just completed a private all-day tour of the Lake District with Mountain Goat Tours. Our guide, John S., could not have been better! He was full of information and enthusiasm for the entire area, having climbed most all of the mountains we saw. He was pleasant and an absolute font of information. 5 Stars all around. We enjoyed the day so much, we are already planning a return trip. Next time we hope to do a longer 2-3 stay in the area. Hopefully, John S. will be available again.

Great overview of Lake Windermere area - David of Brook tours was very accommodating as we needed to change his planned itinerary. He was knowledgeable about the places he took us to and it was a perfect overview of the area before we did some trips on our own

Wonderful Lake District Experience - David is a spectacular guide who is so friendly and funny. He's very accommodative too. My parents and I had a wonderful time going around the Lake District.
The car was comfortable and we got very lucky with the weather as it was sunny when David drove us up to a fantastic view for photos.
We also thank him a lot for introducing us to Grasmere Gingerbread - we went back the next day just to get more.
Overall 10/10 experience and highly recommend David for a private tour of the Lake District!

Best Tour in the Lake District - David was an incredibly informative guide who showed us so much of the beautiful Lake District. He has an excellent knowledge of the history of the District and of all the most scenic places to see. His tour really gave us an in depth introduction to the area, his car was comfortable and roomy, and David himself is a most personable gentleman.
I cannot recommend him highly enough.
