We toured with Mountain Goat Tours out of Kessick, England. It was the best tour I have ever taken. The tour guide was spectacular and showed us stuff we would never had seen on our own. It was a grand tour. He even served us tea and biscuits at the top of the highest mountain in England. It was breathtaking! More

Our guide Tony was great, full of information, a really careful driver and fitted in a few extra things for us to see and do. This is the best way to see the Lake District. The Lake District is one of the most beautiful parts of England, full of quaint villages, interesting shops, history and lovely food. You have got... More

We went on the "A" tour and it was great! I normally drive everywhere when we go on short breaks and never get to see anything! We were taken to places you would not know were there. There were plenty of stops along the way to take refreshments or to soak up the view. The guide was great. More

We opted for the Tour C 'High Adventure Tour' and would recommend it. The tour guide Malcolm was delightful, he was very knowledgeable, funny and genuinely interested in The Lakes, which makes it easier for others to enjoy the tour. Tour C does include a steam railway but it didn't run and we weren't informed of this until the day... More

Firstly a top class tour guide and driver in Tony, we went on the high tour and there are some scary roads on this one. Tony was a great driver and we felt safe the entire time in his care. Good patter as well look out for the Michael Jackson joke!! Good value for money and we will definitely try... More

We booked a half day tour to experience the wonderful delights of the area. Our driver (Peter Fox) made our journey very enjoyable with his knowledge of the area. Travelling in a mini bus allowed Peter to venture up in to the hills where a coach would not be able to. There are so many different trips you can choose... More
