Terrific tour of the Lake District - We took the full day tour of the Lake District which was fantastic. tin was a great tour guide. the tours take place in a nice modern minivan with speakers in front of each passenger so one can clearly hear the guide. Our guide, Tim,did an excellent job. His commentary was informative and interesting. We stopped at many of the lakes, took a boat ride, visited Wordsworth's grave, stopped at the famous gingerbread store and enjoyed the fantastic scenery. Highly recommended.

Do this tour…. Fabulous - Fantastic. Really enjoyed the whole day. The comedy duo of Gillian and Sandra made the day. Gillian with her incredible, knowledgeable commentary and Sandra with her superb safe driving. The tour itself got us a brilliant overview of the area which we had never been to and encouraged up to go back to certain places over the next few days. Brilliant tour with the very best guides

Had the best time exploring Lake District! - Second time doing a tour with English Lakes Tours & I can’t recommend them enough! Tried them out for the first time in December for a winter tour and had such a good time admiring the scenery and beauty of Lake District. Took my family for a summer tour this time and everyone was in awe of the mountains, lakes, and sheep. Our guides Jilian & Sandra (as well as a guy for the winter tour, sorry I’ve forgotten his name!) are so knowledgable and could answer all of our questions and more. + they have amazing driving skills navigating the narrow & hilly roads.

The most spectacular scenery you could ever view. - The drive through the passes and the views from the top of the mountains were spectacular. The information and history from the guide was extremely good and definately made the tour more enjoyable.

Great Tour! - English Lakes Tours was a great way to get an introduction to the Lakes District. Our guide Tim was very professional, friendly and gave us great information. Tim took us to some unexpected but very beautiful spots to get great photos from and a stop at one of the best ice cream shops around! I would definitely take another tour with them.

A lovely day out in the English Lakes - We were staying just outside the Lake District and decided that rather than drive ourselves, we would book some tours and get picked up from our hotel. We took 3 tours with this company and enjoyed them all. Everything was nice and relaxed and although there was so much to see on this tour, we didn't feel rushed and Steve was so accommodating when we wanted to stay a bit longer or stop for a quick photo. Very pretty scenery in an area we will be visiting again. Thanks for a lovely day out.
