Excellent tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and gave lots of local tidbits about Beatrix. The tour itself was exceptional. I felt as if I have an understanding of her life and seeing where she lived and wrote brings her stories more to life than before. I highly recommend this tour.

An absolutely fascinating tour revealing a huge amount of detail - Beatrix Potter homes, associated locations, personal networks etc.. Our guide Tim was a superb host and provided encyclopaedic knowledge about Potter, her history, her lakes district activities etc. Even having read her biography, we learned even more!

I had a chance to do the Beatrix Potter tour in June 2024. Traveling alone can be uneasy, but the tour operator was remarkably friendly and made it very easy. After getting picked up at the Windermere train station we were on our way! Throughout our journey I was remarkably impressed at how knowledgeable the tour guide was. He really demonstrated expert insight into the life and writings of Beatrix Potter. I was particularly impressed with how he pointed out specific places that are highlighted in her books. During our travels he went above and beyond to ensure everyone’s comfort. Thank you for an excellent experience!! This was certainly one of the best highlights of my two week trip!
Don't miss this great adventure
