5.00We had a lovely day celebrating a recent family occasion. Everything was really well organised from start to finish. Steve’s guided tour was brilliant – we got to enjoy the beautiful views and learn lots about the local area, including some great facts about the amazing Beatrix Potter! Many thanks to Sherri too, who picked us up and got us all the way back to Manchester after our steamboat ride at the end of the day. We’d happily do it all again!

5.00The views ... the roads. So glad to give the driving to Derick over the Hardknott Pass. Plus my visit was during a three day rain and yet still worth it. But not just driving, the history with the stories about the area and places we visited. Unforgettable experience made so easy
Great day out

5.00Great day out with The Mountain Goat Tour Company. Great driver Tony, took us over the Wrynose and Hardknott Passes, onto Muncaster for the flying bird display returning via Coniston Water. Lovey weather and Tony knew all the vantage points to admire the views. Highly recommended.

5.00I bring groups to paint and enjoy the culture in the Lake District from America. Shery was our driver for three days. She drove our painting group to lots of various places to paint, visit Dove Cottage, Allen House , Hill Top Farm and lots of other locations. Shery was a treasure trove of information of the area. Her dialogue enriched my students and everyone learned from her. We couldn’t have had a better experience. Thank you Shery!
Excellent 2 days' trip to Ten Lakes and High Mountains with Mountain Goat

5.00This is my 3rd time at Lake District and first time with my parents. I was in a doubt if they will be comfortable in these 2 long trips back to back. Luckily we've got a wonderful weather and our tour guide and driver Gerry was spectacular. He belongs to the same area and shared with us all sorts of information. He is a very skilled driver and took us through the high ridges very comfortably. His in-between jokes never made us bored through-out our trips. It was a complete experience with good weather, excellent scenic views and Gerry's knowledge about each and every corner of Lake District.
Fabulous Day!

5.00Super private hire trip out today with Gerry on a revised High Adventure tour - basically all the high passes! Can’t comment on Wrynose as my eyes were closed most of the way 😂😂. Perfectly timed, we learned loads about the area and the roads and views were fantastic. Thank you for making it such a special day.
Fantastic day with family, friends and Gerry.

5.00Fantastic day from the moment Gerry picked us up, he was a great, friendly, knowledge guy. Made the day tour so much more memorable and even converted family into joining the National Trust. Great driving up Rhino and Hardnott Pass. Gerry had so much knowledge of Beatrix Potter things we never knew about her and how much she has done for the lake district and all the rest of the UK.
Absolutely Awesome, Must Do!

We had a fantastic day with him and would totally recommend this tour. Thanks, Gerry, you're a superstar! 👍😊👌
