  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.

  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 just an ok trip due to rain, they did not follow the iternary. We were guided by the driver who was ok but the rain limited is from seeing or visiting locations.

  If you're looking for an unforgettable day trip from Liverpool, Mountain Goat Tours is the way to go! My journey to the breathtaking Lake District was made even more special thanks to our incredible tour guide, Jean. The two-hour drive from Liverpool to the Lake District flew by, as Jean kept us entertained throughout, breaking up the trip with engaging stories and interesting stops. Once we arrived, we had time to explore, grab a bite to eat, and browse some charming souvenir shops before boarding the lake cruise. The boat ride was a wonderful way to soak in the stunning scenery, and the best part—it seamlessly led straight to the classic steam train! Stepping onto the vintage locomotive felt like stepping back in time, adding a nostalgic charm to the adventure. Jean then took us to another lovely small town for a late lunch, followed by more photo opportunities of the picturesque landscapes. Every stop was carefully planned, making sure we got the most out of our visit. The entire experience was well worth the money and the drive. From start to finish, we got to witness some of the most beautiful parts of northern England, all while enjoying great company and effortless organization. If you're considering this tour, don’t hesitate—it’s truly a must-do!
