Great tour - This is a great tour to see the Lake District. The weather was fantastic and Jean is a great guide, full of local knowledge and very friendly. The boat ride is great and the train is like stepping into an Hercule Poirot film.

Excellent Tour and Guide in not so great weather - Pickup point was beside a ncp. The map shows inside the car park but the tour van was parked alongside it with a mountain goat logo so you won’t miss it. The tour was fully booked so we had a total of 16 tourists plus 1 driver/guide. Scott, our guide, was friendly and knowledgeable and made everyone welcome. I would say this tour, besides the Manchester Clubs tour, is a must take tour. A tour of the Lake District, with a boat and choo choo train ride included. A chance to see English country life and houses and the beauty of nature. Who can resist? Unfortunately for our group, it rained the whole day non stop. It happens and it sux but luckily for us we had Scott driving and guiding. He used his experience and initiative to keep the tour going and keep it interesting. Successfully if i do say so. He brought us to little nooks where tours don’t normally go on better weather, to make up for the rain. Its not a great diversion till it break company rules but enough to at least cheer up those in the minibus who might be less cheerful cos of the weather. All in all, it was an excellent tour for us and i believe for the others too as i did not see any grumpy faces or discontent murmurings. Mountain Goat is definitely very professional and its assets are the guide/drivers there. Would i go on a Mountain Tour again in future? Definitely yes. The whole family enjoyed every minute of it (eyeing the Wales tour). Thanks once again for a memorable tour Scott. From the guy in the F1 polo shirt 😊

One of the best tours I’ve ever experienced. - A+ 100% awesome!!!! Scott, our guide was an absolute boss! I was a little late arriving and very nearly missed the bus, but I managed to get aboard and the fun began! He’s an excellent driver, game very clear and concise instructions, constantly pointed out little jewels for us to make notes about, and stopped or slowed down enough to take photos whenever he thought we might want to do so. The entire trip was a BLAST! Thanks for making this trip through the Lake District so memorable!

The beauty of nature - This was a great way to see the Lake District if you are not a hiker. The scenery was amazing and Paul was an amazing guide. Definitely a must see during a visit to the UK.

Lovely Lake District from Manchester - Thank you so much Scott for that wonderful excursion to the lake district. Sorry for only writing just now, hopefully a small testament to your great hosting is that we never forgot to write the 5-star review it deserved. Truly, your hosting made this trip a special one apart from the lovely scenes we were taken to in the Lake district, we really appreciated your personal touch getting to know the guests. Our trip was smooth in booking, excursion, return, and hosting, Recommend for all.. Would like to return to do the North Wales one with this company. Thank you once again!

This was a great trip. I... - This was a great trip. I had an extra day in Manchester and was looking for something interesting to do. I just spent three weeks backpacking through Wales. I did this tour and was very impressed. The guide was very good. Her name was Jean and I saw in one day almost what took me a couple weeks of backpacking to see in Wales. This was great.
