The natural beauty and historical charm of this region is not to be missed. It's the perfect place to unplug, unwind, and breathe in the fresh air. A trip across the lake and a train ride await. Amble through the villages and take a walk on a quiet trail. Your well-informed guide takes care of the details so you can enjoy your visit.

This is a great tour to get a taste of the Lake District. Bowness was such a charming town with lots of bakeries and eateries to stop at and eat before the lake cruise. We had fantastic weather and the lake cruise was very smooth. The steam train was a fun, quick experience. We walked off the boat and right to the train where Mountain Goat has a reserved part of the train for us. The other villages/hamlets we stop at are very small and the time spent is each is enough to wander and quickly grab an ice cream, drink, or pop in a shop or two. The Tarn How stop was a a highlight. The views were just stunning! Jean was a great driver/guide with lots of knowledge. She gave great tips on where to go at each stop. This tour gave us just a taste of the area and we would love to go and stay in the area.
Great Trip

Research the weather before you go. Great trip despite our very rainy and windy weather for almost the whole day. Our guide made it a memorable day.

It was a bit of a drive from Liverpool but Mark shared a lot of history and comedy along the way. The van was very comfortable. The countryside is gorgeous and the boat and train rides were relaxing. Bowness offered many eateries and shops and benches on the lakeshore for watching the swans, geese, sea birds, and parades of tourists and their many dogs. Hawkswaith has chocolate and gingerbread! It was nice to see Beatrix Potter’s farm down in the valley on one of our stops!
Nothing great

Jean, our driver and guide, was amazing. She is knowledgeable and professional and an excellent driver. It was a very rainy day, but she was flexible and took us on interesting detours and roads to make up for the weather.
