Excellent Service, guide and tour. - Went with a group of 11 friends booking a 16 seater private tour. The booking process was easy and informational.
The coach driver was also the guide and kept us informed about the historical land marks and context. It was a long day from 9 am to 6pm. The driver was very courteous and flexible to our needs. We visited and stopped at places where the standard tour may not have stopped. He was very helpful in keeping us to time and made our trip a memorable one. If I plan a trip with my family, I will definitely use this company again.

10 Lakes and more. - This was a great day out on such a rainy day. Our very capable driver Andy safely took us places that only a local knows about. The roads Andy navigated were not for the faint hearted and I was glad that he was driving. The views were spectacular and Andy provided a knowledgeable and amusing commentary with a no rush attitude.

A great option to see the Lake District from Manchester. - Excellent small group tour through the Lake District. Jean was friendly, approachable and I felt like we were in great hands. We loved the scenery, the boat ride and the train. This is an excellent option to get out of the city and see the Lakes in a small group.
