  I was impressed with the places we saw that we'd never have visited by following the main roads. Unfortunately we were late starting the tour from a very specific place in the Keswick car park, hence on returning a day later, we decided to pick up from where we'd left off but unfortunately took the route going the opposite way! Consequently the commentary didn't relate to what we were seeing! Our fault entirely but felt the audio should be able to pick up our location and adjust to it.

• Well informed, full of culture, would definitely recommend!

  A very well informed, full of culture and knowledge based tour - a different approach to every turn and stop, and some areas I wouldn’t have even known about had it not been for Martin’s tips Thank you !

  Bad experience; waste of money; complicated; never again; not interesting; waste of time; why 100 characters to write a negative review

• Perhaps we didn’t have it...

  Perhaps we didn’t have it set up correctly but found it very difficult to follow the directions and kept getting lost so gave up early on. Looked up the places to visit and did it on our own with sat nav. Shame as sounds like the commentary was good and other users have praised it. As said, we may just not have set it up correctly.

• Great to do on a rainy day.

  Last minute decision to do this audio drive tour due to the terrible weather. Great decision to get out and see some sights. Took maybe the first two stops to get used to how the app worked and what the icons meant. Would have been good to have bought the national trust all day parking ticket at £8.50 for the day, but we didn’t realise until too late. Each carpark is a diver so it would add up so we missed a couple of stops. Overall, thank you, great way to spend a day and useful and interesting commentary.

  Great narrator and oration! I love that the tour is connected to our location; commentary and directions automatically pop up when you enter certain spaces. Lots of information and history alongside recommendations for trails and other lookouts. It works even if you skip a site or two or pause for a while and come back.

  Couldn’t recommend this tour enough! Informative, fun and interesting. It really brings the natural history as well as the industrial past of the area to life. Like having your own personal tour guide in the car with you. An absolute bargain.

• Best choice for first timers

  We were thinking about doing an organised Lake District tour but found this self drive audio tour and were not disappointed. Such a beautiful area around Borrowdale and Buttermere and the tour took us to places we would we would not have found ourselves, telling us all about them and more along the way. We liked that we could set our own pace and would recommend a few stops along the way to break it up a bit, explore attractions and enjoy the scenery more.
