    I really recommend this tour. Duncan was a very knowledgeable guide and excellent driver. Don't drive yourself on these narrow roads. There's lots of traffic and the roads are very steep. Take this tour instead, no stress and enjoy the landscapes.

    The knowledge, experience and humor of our outstanding driver:guide, Tony! What I liked best is that he didn’t need to talk excessively the whole 8 hours but when we passed points of interests and stops and always answered our questions. Amazing countryside vistas

    We appreciated most the breath-taking views from Wrynose and Hardknott passes, and the skillful driving of our guide round hairpin bends! We had a delicious lunch in the hotel at Boot and enjoyed our trip on the little steam train from Ravenglass.

  • Amazing trip - must do in the lakes

    I couldn’t recommend this trip enough. You get to see so much of the lakes in one day & learn about the local area. Our tour guide Mark P was excellent - he was very informative & accommodating along with a charming charisma . His driving was particularly impressive driving up the steep winding hills. Such a fun day out with amazing views even In the rain - don't hesitate to book.

  • Exciting adventure
