5.00A lovely interesting, scenic and varied day out in the Peak District. Unfortunately we didn’t get to see the viaduct as it was incredible foggy when we were passing by it.

5.00Wonderful English countryside and quintessential Derbyshire villages of the Peak District. We even discovered some off-tourist trap, walking tracks to escape the inevitable bustle. Our guide, Darren was knowledgeable and delivered his commentary with enthusiasm, warmth and humour. A brilliant experience well worth our time and money!
Beautiful scenery

5.00Pete did a great job in explaining the history around the area. We stopped at Eyam, Bakewell and Castleton and there were plenty of times to explore.

5.00The guide gave more information that I expected! He talked about the history of Manchester during the drive up to the first stop, and talked about the history of the areas and answered questions in each of the stops. Also showed us a couple of extra places of interest.
Great day trip

4.00Mike was an excellent driver and I felt comfortable in some especially tricky traffic with him at the wheel. He gave an interesting economic & historic overview of Manchester, highlighting significant persons. Mike was very helpful in giving directions and/or walking folks to places of interest. I appreciated his kindness.
Gorgeous view and great tour guide

5.00Darren is a fantastic tour guide and the tour itself is fabulous. I enjoyed his introduction, music and some small surprises along the trip. Peak District is seriously one of the most beautiful, peaceful, surreal places on the planet.

1.00The directions from Piccadilly station are very very confusing causing us to miss the tour. I also got very sick while trying to find it. We asked three people and they all interpreted your directions differently there are no street signs
We cancelled but still a classy operation

5.00Unfortunately my husband got sick the night before we were supposed to go and we had to cancel. It was not within the 24 hour mark so there was no refund but we knew this when we canceled. The cancelation process was easy. I did it right online. I still am reviewing with a 5 star because our tour guide did reach out to us right away and checked on us. I thought that was above and beyond.
