I ❤️ Mountain Goat - Since our tour group was a smaller, our guide Mark H was very adaptable to what we wanted from this experience! His brain was impressively loaded with 4 hours of facts about everywhere we passed/got out to explore, and he made a much appreciated effort to get to know the group members. Would recommend to anyone I know is stopping through the area!

Highly recommend! - The Lake District is absolutely gorgeous and suitable for hikers and strollers alike. Can also simply take a boat ride on one of the lakes and there are snacks and fun ice cream stands at every turn for kids if all ages. We didn’t backpack but the mere prospect looked amazing. Also enjoyed swan, duck and goose watching.

Magical 6 Lakes Tour. - Our driver, Tim, was excellent in his commentary and particularly good with 2 children who came.
Although it was a ‘whistle stop’ tour it was a great experience and we were blessed with good weather.

Informative and peaceful - The Lake District has strong ties to famous literary figures, notably Beatrix Potter. My guide was very informative and shared his knowledge in a way that brought the trip to life beyond just narrative.

One of the best and most creative tour guides - I have been around the world n joined a good number of tours. Tim, the tour guide from Mountain Goat, has been the most knowledgable and the most enthusiastic. He is also the most innovative in photography. Although I have been to the Lake District a number of times, the itinerary still impressed me. Tim told us a great deal of new things about the history, culture, geography n especially poetry about the region. His creative group photo n video of us are really creative n memorable. Very highly recommend him n the tour.

Unforgettable Six Lakes Adventure: The Magic of the Lake District with Tim - Today, we embarked on a tour of six lakes, and it was one of the best tours I've ever experienced. Tim was an excellent driver and commentator. Additionally, he is an exceptional photographer. Tim was very kind and patient throughout the tour. I learned a great deal about the Lake District from him. I highly recommend the Mountain Goat tours, and especially Tim. Thank you.
