Perfect for Brontë Fans! - Such an amazing day! I had been hoping to make the journey to the Bronte Parsonage, and when I saw this option, I was excited. It was a whole day of beautiful views, lovely history and great conversation. Gillian and Tim were fantastic guides, knowledgeable and flexible. They answered questions - about the Brontes and every other random things we asked - and made the experience perfect.

Best day of our trip!!! Loved the Bronte tour! - We planed our trip from Alaska around this tour!!! It was totally worth it! Our tour guides (Gillian & Sandra) were historians with very knowledgable, detailed, and engaging commentary on the life and works of the Brontë family. I had been fascinated by the lives and deaths of this family and the tour brought it to life! Seeing the landscapes where they lived and walked was the best way to really get a feel for their reality and inspiration for their literary works. It was incredible to tour the parsonage where they lived and also died. The clock in their home which they heard when they were alive, is still ticking today. Sandra navigated the roads expertly! Loved the narrow backroads! Gillian told great stories of the Brontë sisters and painted a vivid picture for us. Both guides were a pleasure to spend the day with! Highly recommend this tour!

Lake District and Bronte’ tour - Most excellent tour with the two friendliest and most knowledgeable tour guides. More than just knowledgeable they were experts, academic level insights into the Lake District and the Brontë family, but never stuffy or boring. Can’t recommend highly enough. A fine mix of local lore, literary background, and topography.

Brontë Tour - What an excellent tour. Jill and Sandra spent the whole day taking us to all the important Brontë spots. They were really knowledgeable and very pleasing. We had plenty of time to get to know them and have our questions answered.This was our second of 3 tours with this company and I would definitely recommend them highly.

Amazing day trip touring Bronte country! - I had never visited the Lake District before, and was travelling alone, so I was unsure of who to book a tour with and I'm so happy I went with Gillian and Tim! In our day trip from the Lake District to Yorkshire we stopped at a number of significant landmarks for the Brontes, with plenty of time to enjoy some of the sights your own. As a huge Bronte fan, I learned so much from this trip, and had the most wonderful time. Cannot recommend enough!

Bronte trip - Had a brilliant day with very well informed, friendly and professional guides Tim and Gillian. The tour was at a leisurely pace with their depth of knowledge around the Bronte family and local history being imparted in a genial manner with lots of detail. They also displayed a genuine interest in getting to know us, and varying the itinerary to suit. I came away inspired by Gillian to learn more, and look forward to making another trip with them soon.
