The Derwentwater boat trip was scenic and relaxing. Saved a little $ by getting ticket in Tourist Info Center in town. I enjoyed an outside seat to better take in the views. Took about an hour. Enjoyable affordable experience.

Great experience with Mountain Goat and with David our tour guide for the day. Everything was really as described in the tour details and it was totally worth it. Will recommend this Trip to others who want to get a glimpse of Lake District in a short span of time.

We had an amazing time, The driver and tour guide David, patiently waited for us due to being late because we got lost, shared his extensive knowledge on Lake District and also has a great sense of humor. He also gave us recommendations on where to go in Manchester for a good bite. Overall it was an amazing experience and good value for money.
