I wasn’t expecting that much due to the bad weather which is already a norm in Lake District but it becomes a very unforgettable experience. Thanks to our tour guide Stef who makes the most of our day very remarkable. The destinations were absolutely stunning and a very good value for a money. Stef was truly knowledgeable with the top attractions giving us enough facts to be aware of the story behind certain places. The crowd is very lively during the tour and will definitely suggest to my friends who will plan for a vist at Lake District.

Had a great day out. Tim our driver was excellent and very knowledgeable. We all enjoyed the day exploring the beautiful scenery of the Lake District. Plenty of stops for those of a certain age! Also opportunities to take photos of the beautiful scenery. All in all worth every penny.
