A Fun Birthday Experience in The Beautiful Lakes . - I booked the Lake Tour for my partner and I on his birthday, we were lucky with the weather ( although Ian did kindly give us the option to change to the next day . The heavens did finally open, but that was once we were finished and sipping our birthday beers in a great pub Ian had recommended.
Ian drove us to some great sites around the Keswick area , which we wouldn’t have found ourselves..
We both thoroughly enjoyed our 4 hours with Ian .. He is not only engaging , but knowledgeable too ..
I would recommend this tour , but he also offers a Windermere tour too, which I’m sure would be just as good ..

Great tour, great day. We'll definitely do similar again. - Ian, our guide for this fantastic tour of the Lake District by Lake Windermere. Our family had a great day visiting the Stock Ghyll waterfall and then saw the highest points of the area. We went to the slate mine and entered the huge cave with a fantastic view. We had a drink and cake at Chesters Bakery & Shop. We visited the site of the highest pub, being renovated yet. We drove through the river after the slate mine. A fantastic tour.
Ian is a very nice man and a superb guide.

Ian, our guide, allowed us to be 'Locals' for a few hours, A fantastic tour. - Ian met us at reception where we were staying. He took us in his Discovery vehicle to see the sights around the Lake District. We saw the water falls in Stock Ghyll Park, then, went to see the highest point in the area before we went to see the cave from the slate mine. This was beautiful as well as having an outstanding of the cave and of the entire area. Ian took us through the river to get back to the main route. We all loved it! We, also, visited the castle which allowed us to have a fantastic view overlooking Lake Windermere and the surrounding area. We stopped for coffee and a cake at Chesters Bakery & Shop--excellent.

Outstanding guide! Informative, flexible and a great driver - I spent a full day with Ian visiting multiple locations in the Lake District. Ian tailored the tour to my particular wishes. In my case, I was interested in walking at every stop we made and Ian was pleased to accommodate this request. The trip included walks that were a bit off the beaten track. Ian is very friendly with a wonderful personality and knows the Lake District exceptionally well. He is also a cautious driver. Time flew by. This was truly an exceptional way to see a big chunk of the Lake District both by car and by foot.

Great tours on land and sea - Great trip to some of the highlights of the back country of the Lake District. Would highly recommend it. Ian is a wonderful guy and very knowledgeable. Unlike other trips you actually get out and explore. We also sailed on Lake Windermere with Ian and it was a lot of fun.

Spectacular - Ian was awesome! Great host and driver. We saw and did so many things we would have never found on our own! We enjoyed every narrow lane and tight turn. Cheers, Ian!

Wonderful way to experience Lake District - Highly recommended. Ian was a great person to spend time with - good fun, friendly, flexible, knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. Itinerary was personalised and gave us a great feel for the Lake District on our first visit to the area and even included sailing on Windermere. Thank you so much for booking lunch too.

Windermere adventure - Ian, was a well informed guide, that allowed us to experience the lakes in a comfortable way.
We had 24hrs to pack in the sites and Ian enabled us to experience a wide range and get off grid and explore areas we would not have been able to access.
Would highly recommend
