We had an amazing four-hour tour of the Lake District starting from Windermere. Our guide, David, was simply great! We visited several breathtaking lakes, and the views were absolutely fantastic. David's engaging manner made the entire tour very enjoyable. We definitely recommend this tour and especially our wonderful guide, David!

We had a wonderful tour of the Lake District with David. From the moment we set off from the Windermere train station we knew we were in for a fun time. David has a great sense of humor and immediately put us at ease. His knowledge of the history of the areas we visited was so interesting and the historic pictures and maps he showed us truly enhanced the information he was sharing. We were traveling with our 20 year old daughter and he made sure to engage her in conversation as well. The sights were amazing and he gave us plenty of opportunities for picture taking. The tour was a great snapshot of the area including Ambleside, Grasmere, Keswick, the Stone circle and more. It is clear how much David loves the Lake District and is proud to show it off and share its history. We plan to come back in the future to explore more and we will certainly reach out to David when we do return possibly for a hiking tour. Judy, Bill and Lindsay

I can't recommend this tour highly enough. I'm a solo female traveller and booked the tour with David at short notice. David went out of his way to pick me up from my hotel which Trip Advisor mentioned was out of the pick up zone when I booked. David is a true gentleman and is so knowledgeable about the local area and all the history of this beautiful place. I saw loads of lakes, villages and sights such as the Stone Circle and Grasmere Gingerbread in the 4 hour tour and it wasn't long enough. I've only booked two days in the Lake District and it's nowhere near enough time but David managed to show me so much during the short tour I booked. He was really funny and very easy to talk to and I would absolutely book another tour with him again and recommend him to anyone travelling around here. He even gave me some great recommendations for dinner and I can vouch for his recommendation at Hooked in Windemere - it was delicious and the staff were wonderful. Definitely one of the better tour operators I've ever experienced.

OMGosh! This tour was so informative. It was also very beautiful, as is the LAKE DISTRICT. David was our guide and did an excellent job of making it interesting with stories that aren't in your tour book. I thought this tour was going to be stodgy since it was a "driving tour." It wasn't! Also, who knew that there was another "stone circle"? I appreciated the tips for return visits as well.

After a year of planning our five week United Kingdom tour, we were blessed to secure David as our private guide for three experiences in the Lake District. First off David negotiated a most precarious drive just to arrive at our isolated cottage, regaled us with many historical facts to supplement the outstanding views we were enjoying, filled us with humorous asides, and treated we “ older ladies “ with gentlemanly courtesy. And, yes, we heartily recommend David!!! The “other lady’s review” - We so enjoyed touring the Lake District with David. His knowledge of the area was fantastic and was delivered with a generous dose of humor. He arranged stops with our limited mobility in mind. He acted as if his sole purpose was to ensure we had a great time-which we did!! Thank you, David, with leaving us with wonderful memories!

David was a terrific guide - very informed and informative, a nice sense of humour and a clear passion for ensuring his passengers gain as much as possible fom the tour, whatever their age or mobility. He's knowledgeable about the area, its history and landscape and it was a treat to spend part of our day with him.
