5.00Fantastic, comprehensive overview of the Lakes District - highly recommend! Our guide, Peter F. was a very skilled driver on many narrow winding roads taking us to outstanding view areas! His historical knowledge and talking points added so much to the tour and his friendly demeanor set the tone for the group making it really comfortable for me as a solo traveler. Much appreciated! I can promise you will love this tour!
Fabulous day out !!

5.00Fabulous day! Despite the bad holiday traffic causing delays, and the fact that part of Kirkstone pass had been closed, Andy remained calm and patient! He was very knowledgeable and kept the information coming all day - don’t know how he did it. We had a great bunch of people, and even the weather behaved itself. Thank you for a great trip, would thoroughly recommend it.
Gorgeous views of mountains and lakes

5.00I took Mountain Goat Full Day Tour: Ten Lakes Tour of the Lake District in September and loved it. Patrick was our tour guide. Even though I had been to the Lake District 2x prior to this trip, I never really saw it until I took this tour. I loved seeing the stones, and being up on the mountains. It was a fabulous day and a great tour. Patrick really knows the area and made the trip as enjoyable as the scenery.

5.00This was a most memorable day out! David, our driver and guide was brilliant! He gave us some lovely details along the route and was an excellent driver! He was friendly and efficient. This tour has been very carefully planned and everything went like clockwork! The bus trip, the ferry trip and train ride were just perfect and we had super weather. We also saw Tarn Hows which was beautiful. The Lakes were dressed to impress in their autumn best! All in all we would totally recommend a Mountain Goat trip! Thank you David and all concerned!

5.00We had a great day out. Our minibus was expertly handled, by Andy. The leather seats were comfortable and there were usb charging points. Not only did we see some beautiful scenery, Andy provided us with lots of local, historical knowledge.
Thanks Andy

5.00This was a fab trip. Been on a few Mountain Goat day trips and all have been great, but this took me to places, off the beaten track, I'd not been before. The very friendly, knowledgeable driver/guide Andy, really made the experience enjoyable for all, stopping for plenty of photos ops. Great if you don't have access to a car or want to make the most of the spectacular scenery. Especially the high narrow passes like Honister, Newlands and Kirkstone. Thank you Andy and Mountain Goat.
