Wonderful trip with a great tour guide! - We had an amazing day trip to the Lake District with Lee. He was a wonderful tour guide and great driver. The whole trip was perfectly timed and we learned a lot about the region and its people. Listening to some Beatrix Potter stories and the Daffodils poem was a lovely touch! I would definitely recommend this tour!

UP WHERE WE BELONG - The tour was amazing & Frank our guide kept us well informed & entertained.
No he did not sing. The trip from Grasmere up to the LANGDALE & Little Switzerland was just breath taking.

Amazing Tour Experience - I always wanted to visit the LD without having to drive those tricky roads, this tour provided that experience.
Our guide was brilliant.
Funny, knowledgeable, welcoming and a skilled driver.
And the mini bus was clean.
I highly recommend!

Reached the heights of heaven in the Lake District - Frank was a great tour host. Unique way of presenting with music and humor. Provided some historical background which was very interesting and showed he clearly had a knowledgeable interest in the history. Pleasant, courteous, friendly, accommodating - gave tips about various local areas of interest. And the piece de resistance…the views! This made our entire trip. So very worth it.

Great introduction to the Lakes District - We had a beautiful day for this tour, and it did not disappoint. Our driver, Lee, was an excellent tour guide and driver--which is very important as some of the roads were quite narrow and difficult to navigate! We thoroughly enjoyed the breathtaking beauty of the area and our stops in the lovely towns of Grasmere and Windermere. We only had one day to see the Lakes District, and this tour was exactly what we hoped it would be.

Learned new things, explored the beauty of Lake District, friendly staff. - Lee, John and Matt were excellent! Lee had a game with a prize which warmed up the trip. We learned about the Lake District as well as having fun. We had time exploring the towns. I like the most was walked/hike to the top of a hill in Keswick. I learned from John the plant Nettle, can be used medicinally, ceremonially and as a highly nutritious food source. Roots, seeds, stems and young, tender leaves are all edible. Native Indigenous people use stinging nettle for medicine, ceremony and as a food source. Mature fibrous stems have been used to make rope, cloth and fishing net. As you can see, he has good knowledge of variety of subjects.
All in all, I highly recommend this tour.
