The scenery for the time in the Lake District was very nice. The drive to get there and back was long, as expected. The lake cruise was disappointing, as the boat's windows hadn't been cleaned in a while, so taking pics was out. It was a cool and windy day, so topside wasn't an option for many people.

Wonder full-day tour to the best part of England. Enjoyed the driver commentary, the towns were in, the boat tour, the train tour and more. Glad I did this. Could not reach these places easily or not at all on my own.

Was a great day trip and excellent way to have a taster of the Lakes District. The small bus and driver (Scott) were great. Ferry and train ride were unique and something different. Only element if I could change one, would be the last stop of the trip (Hawksmede) could be a stop thats shortened or missed. All in all a great day out.
