We did the Lake District sightseeing tour from Liverpool. We really enjoyed it, the journey was smooth and Frank our driver was great and kept us informed and entertained on the journey up with snippets of local history and then interesting pieces about famous people from the Lakes as we travelled around. We visited Windermere and did an optional cruise which was lovely, then onto Grasmere and Ambleside too. We also went up into the mountains and did a spot of walking (optional) which was great being able to take in all the scenery. We really enjoyed the day and will look to take another trip with Busy Bus soon. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone.

Absolutely amazing day trip. The Lake District is simply stunning. And all the little towns we stopped at were charming and worth a visit. Or guide, Shelly, was lovely and full of information. We want to come back and see more of the area one day.

Great sightseeing on the lakes. Fabolous places included. Many hours of driving though, approximately half of the time.

We had our trip with Frank and to be honest couldn't ask for a better tour guide! He kept the tour engaging with stories about the lake district and famous people from the past who belonged to the area. He made sure we don't get bored even when we were on the bus by playing stories and poetries. He is a fantastic driver and had very good geographical knowledge about the area. We would surely be looking forward to have more trips with him in the near future. Thank You Frank! Best, Puneet and Aish

A very nice day trip into nature with small mountains and the largest lake in England. Due to lightning ice we were not able to finish the tour as planned, but Busy Bus brought us safely back to Liverpool. Thank you!
