Everywhere Ian took us was memorable and photogenic. Ian was knowledgeable and easy going. From being in the hills, to being at the lake shore, great memories were being made.

Ian met us at reception where we were staying. He took us in his Discovery vehicle to see the sights around the Lake District. We saw the water falls in Stock Ghyll Park, then, went to see the highest point in the area before we went to see the cave from the slate mine. This was beautiful as well as having an outstanding of the cave and of the entire area. Ian took us through the river to get back to the main route. We all loved it! We, also, visited the castle which allowed us to have a fantastic view overlooking Lake Windermere and the surrounding area. We stopped for coffee and a cake at Chesters Bakery & Shop--excellent.

Our guide Ean gave a wonderful tour of the surroundings of Windermere: up to the top of Kirkstone Pass, past many idyllic villages surrounded be sheep-filled fields, to an awe-inspiring slate-mine-cave and across steep gravel roads with fantastic views. Ean was a fun guide, great to chat with and took great care to accommodate requests for extra photo stops along the route. I would totally recommend this tour for any small group of people wanting to see a highlite reel of what Windermere has to offer.

We only had a short time in the lakes and wanted to see as much as possible while we were there. This was the best way to do that, it was a fantastic 4 hours enjoyed every minute and saw everything we wanted to. Ian was great company and so easy to talk to. Would highly recommend this trip for those that want to see as much as possible in a short period of time
