    It was a really great tour with an excellent guide. All in our party was really pleased. We ranged in age from 16 to 49 and it worked well for all ages.

    Our driver Pete was fantastic. He bought the Lakes district alive with his commentary. The tour was well balanced allowing us time to walk and explore seperately as well as with the group. Pete drove brilliantly along the narrow winding lanes. We took in wonderful views, charming villages and had beautiful weather. All thanks to Pete.

  • I Enjoyed Every Second of this Tour

    I loved every second of this wonderful day. Steve was so kind, friendly and welcoming, funny and knowledgeable, too. We set off on time, and as the English countryside is generally beautiful, I enjoyed even the ride to the Lake District itself (and back). When we got there, I was mesmerised by the charm and beauty of the region. I studied English literature and I felt as if I walked into all the books we had read at uni. We were lucky to have a wonderful summer day, without rain, and dry sun entire day. We stopped at numerous viewpoints and I just couldn’t take enough photos. I also wanted to absorb everything as much as I could. I loved the smells and sounds of nature. They brought me back to the days I had spent at my grandparents’ village. I only wished I had stayed longer in Manchester so I could sleep in Grasmere and spend more time in the villages of the Lake District.

    Lake district was a pretty good experience, serene and wonderful. You get a cruise on lake Windermere, which was worth every minute. Visiting the village of Hawkshead is a must. Steve from Rabbie's Tours was our excellent guide, patient & witty. We had enjoyed our time during our trip. It's a good number of places to visit in a day trip for a decent fare.

  • Must do trip to the Lake district!!!

    One of the best coach tours we have taken.. the weather today was an added bonus! The tour is well paced, with enough stops to enjoy the local sights and get something to eat and drink without feeling rushed. The boat tour on Windemere was beautiful, Grasmere was gorgeous but the best was the last stop at Hawkshead. There is so much to experience in one day and Pete made it interesting with plenty of recommendations as well as sharing lots of information about the place and its people. The playlist suited the area been driven through. If you are like us and want to make the most of your visit to Manchester but without the hassle, this is a must do trip. Can't recommend Rabbi's and Pete enough. Looking forward to the Peak district tour tomorrow and hoping to have as much fun as we did today!
