See and tour several lakes in the Lake District in about 4 hours, glasm... - It was a very satisfying tour, taking about four hours to see several lakes in the Lake District and holding down points like glasmere.
The Windermere area will pick up and drop off at the designated location, so it was very good to be able to participate without thinking about moving elsewhere. While watching how crowded the day was, they came up with an efficient route to get around without getting stuck in traffic, and they explained the history of the Lake District in their car.
One of the things that made me feel good about asking for a personal tour was that they were flexible enough to stop by a good restaurant when I asked for a coffee.
Regarding English and explanation, they explained slowly and many times, so it was easy for Japanese to understand and ask questions.
If I had the chance to go to the Lake District again, I would love to ask for another tour.

Awesome travel - 非常優秀的導遊且富有專業知識。去了許多美麗且步行無法到達的景點，途中也介紹了各個景點的歷史背景。我會推薦朋友們參加這位導遊的行程。
David is very friendly, knowledgeable tour guide. He tried his best to simplify conversation since knew we came from Taiwan and not a native speaker. Really enjoyed our journeys and took extraordinary photos.

Highly Recommended - David is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about this beautiful region.
The tour is a perfect length and good pace. David will take you to see some of the best views with excellent photo opportunities, and you will learn about the history and hear stories the lakes and fells along the way.
Ideal for newcomers like ourselves, or those who have already discovered the area and are returning for more.
At the beginning of your stay, it will provide you with ideas on where to explore further, or at the end it will give you an incentive to return, we certainly will be back.
Thank you David.

getting to the highest point in the lakes and seeing the 3rd smallest house in the country. - We had a brilliant time. Our tour guide David was amazing with all the knowledge of the area and showing us the best places on such busy day as weather was good and lots of tourists around. We managed to see at least 8 lakes and each one was different and water fall and surroundings from the highest point to the lowest point it was so nice. Will be returning soon when it is a bit quieter.

A Well-informed Tour Complete w/ Breathtaking Views of the Lake District - I had such a wonderful time touring the Lake District with David. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area and very friendly. He would pull over whenever I wanted to take photos of the breathtaking scenery and I never felt rushed. I highly recommend this tour. You'll see a lot of jaw-dropping landscapes.

Brook Tours Brings the Lake District to Life - A short trip to one venue turned into a four hour private tour of the Lake District, and lucky we were. David’s expertise was on full display: detailed knowledge of the area, historical insights, steady hand behind the wheel, lots of added anecdotes to color the trip, and absolute reliability. You’ve picked a top-notch guide with Brook Tours of Windermere. Thanks, David.
