5.00I had an amazing time on this tour to the Lake District, did not disappoint in the slightest!!! The tour itself was extremely well organised and Adrian, the driver, was engaging, welcoming, efficient and extremely informative. Each stop on the tour, had in particular, unique features corresponding to the place. The scenery was spectacular, such stunning landscapes; all very appreciated!! All the activities were immensely memorable and thoroughly enjoyable. My personal highlights was firstly, the walk which was undertaken at Blea Tarn, with the stunning vistas and secondly, viewing the natural visual beauty of the waterfalls at Ambleside, delightfully magical!! May I say, Adrian, much kind gratitude for showing us all, the wonderful waterfalls. I have no hesitation in highly and personally recommending this tour if you wish to visit the Lake District.

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our Busy Bus trip to the Lake District on 17th October 2025. It was very easy to book on line and Adrian our driver and guide was good fun and very knowledgeable about the area and the famous people who lived there. Our minibus was modern and comfortable . There were only 11 of us on the tour and we were all looking forward to a great day out. It was a mild ,windless day , and cloudy but the scenery was spectacular and the autumn colours made beautful relections in the Lakes. We had a 40 minute boat trip to pretty Ambleside where we stopped for lunch. We then travelled to Blea Tarn through narrow roads and more beautiful scenery. After a short optional walk we then travelled to Grassmere and could visit Wordworth's grave and purchase the famous Ginerbread . After another short woodland walk in Ambleside we then made our return journey to Chester. Adrian was a great guide and the trip was very good value for money . It was so nice not having to drive and we met some interesting fellow passengers. Highly recommended.

5.00The tour was beautiful, organized very well and the schedule of visits was respected. Just a suggestion: it would be useful to provide an instant translation system because not everyone is a native English speaker.
Well worth the money for this full day trip to amazing places

5.00Had a wonderful day touring the Lake District with my daughter. We are from Australia so it was an amazing experience for us see beautiful scenery and dwellings. Lee our driver was awesome with his information and his caring attitude. Loved his stories of famous sheep and his many other funny stories.

5.00Shelley was a great guide. Told lovely stories, was kind and approachable. The stops were chosen well, in particular Blae Tarn. We would have had longer if we hadnt had to wait for some late arrivals, but Shelley did her best to make up ground.
Breathtaking views and lots of interesting sights and information.
