5.00Really worth it, guide Darren was really informative and looked after us all really well, loved the small group set up, mini bus has huge windows so you get good views all round and Darren's knowledge of the area was impeccable. We were up in Manchester for a few days and this was an ideal excursion for us ..always wanted to visit the lakes and this was great ! Thoroughly recommended.

5.00Rob was an amazing tour guide! He went above and beyond. He even had a playlist for our drive that's related to the tour. He shared so much history/stories along the way, and also gave us some downtime to just listen to music and relax. We also had Carrie on the tour as she was training, so it was a bonus. She was very knowledgeable, friendly and approachable, just like Rob. Lake District is absolutely stunning! We were blessed with beautiful weather so it made it all the more memorable. We had enough free time to explore on our own and grab lunch. Highly recommend this tour, and Lake District is a must!
A fantastic trip
