My husband and I came to the Lake District for the first time on holiday and had the most incredible private tour with David. We had the best time seeing and learning all about the area and history of Beatrix Potter. He was so kind, super knowledgeable, accommodating, and professional! He showed up early to our accommodations, and helped create a very memorable day for us! We would highly recommend David, and are already looking forward to booking him again for our next trip back!

David was knowledgeable and friendly, and he put me at ease from the moment I entered his spacious, clean and comfortable car. There were a number of different options available for doing the Beatrix Potter tour, Dave offers a private tour. There was no minimum number requirement for booking. Ok; it may have cost me more - but, I got to see what I was interested in. He stopped if I requested a photo stop. I didn’t have to hang about waiting for my fellow travellers to idle back to the car. At the various locations we visited; he pointed out things of interest; he also had a collection of photos that he could show comparisons from previous times (I found this most interesting and helpful). It added another dimension to the tour. David had an easy manner and I felt really relaxed in his company. I would 100% recommend David. He’s been taking ppl around this area for over 20 years. He puts life into what came before. The scenery is spectacular. Well worth investing your time and ££ on his tour. Thanks David. It was a fantastic day.

My adult daughter and I had the most outstanding time on our five-hour Beatrix Potter tour. David is an excellent and personable guide-- the experience felt more like a friend showing you their favorite sights than it did a booked tour. We were delighted with everything--to see in person what we'd only imagined was better than we'd even expected. Because of our personal interests, David added details on other celebrated figures, such as the Wordsworths and Charlotte Mason. Private tours allow for that sort of thing, which make them all the more enjoyable. Our private Beatrix Potter tour with David was the highlight of our visit to the Lakes!
