    The booking company via tour did not tell us that we were not going to be going to hilltop because hilltop is closed on Fridays until July. This was very disappointing, and we felt that they were not honest and only wanted to get a booking.

    Peter Fox was a terrific guide! The bus was warm and cozy, and the tour included all the essentials. First a wonderful boat tour of Windermere where we could stand on the top of the boat and see everything. Then a visit to the castle where Beatrix spent her summers. Peter was full of knowledge and helped us have the best tour possible. We went straight into Hill Top with no delays. So lovely! A bucket list moment for me. Very special!

    It was an amazing tour, very informative and culturally a realisation of a dream, to see places I have only read as a student! The cruise was very tranquil as the lake waters glistened in the sunshine!

  • Great tour!

    Tim from Mountain Goat Tours made our rainy Lake District day so much fun. Loads of information and thoughtful of our time and interests. We would highly recommend the tour and Tim! We will definitely make another trip to the Lake District for much longer than a day!!!
