5.00Really enjoyable trip. Lovely relaxing way to see the beautiful highlights of the area, stopping at places we would never have found on our own. Peter our driver/tour guide was very knowledgeable and we felt very safe as his passengers.

5.00Peter took us to the 10 lake tour and it was such an excellent experience to go on tour with him, he is very knowledgeable and knows the Lake District in and out and he took us to all places with a smile and explained everything in great details and showed us all the beautiful places in Lake District. We both enjoyed it a lot, one of the most memorable tours we have had till date.

5.00The driver (Steve) managed to keep an interesting level of information flowing for almost 8 hours, which was impressive compared to any other tour guide we have come across. We were lucky with the weather, but even so, the selection sites were perfect for people who are new to the area. The journey was comfortable and relaxed all the way.
Great full day tour

Tony took us on the 10-Lake Tour

5.00Tony took us places we would never have seen. He told us stories we never would have known. Tony also answered every question easily and took care to make sure all was going well. I’m an older American who is a little slow of hearing, especially the English accents, but I heard Tony clearly.
Highly recommend 10/10

5.00I was fortunate enough a few days ago to go on this tour and was the only person who booked so as a bonus ended up on a private tour! Steve was the most incredible tour guide, warm, informative, kind. He had tid bits of information for every location we went to and road we went down. Not only that, Steve tailored the tour to my interests in the area and provided recommendations for activities, places to shop and eat. Steve is a true asset to the Mountain Goat company and if you can I’d recommend booking with him and doing this tour, but just doing this tour in general as it’ll get to see some of the most beautiful locations in the lakes district. I’m already planning a trip back and when I do I’ll be booking in again with Mountain Goat!
