    What a day! Our tour guide Mark introduced us to a world of mountains and lakes, The views were spectacular, and the information Mark imparted was both interesting and educational. Mark never rushed anyone getting on and off the coach at each stop in our days journey, yet we still managed fill the day with magnificent views of the peaks and valleys of the lake district. But the highlight of the day for me, as I am an ancient history buff, was the final stop at Castlerigg stone circle. Wow! We can certainly say we'll be booking anotherMountain Goat tour on our next trip here. Thank you Mark for a day to remember!

    Loved the stories our driver, Carol, told. The scenery was magnificent. I feel I got to see a lot I wouldn’t have seen otherwise. Plenty of stops for picture taking and bathroom breaks. The bus is comfortable and only takes up to sbout 16 people which I prefered to a large bus.

  • 20-May-2023

    Excellent trip. The driver was very knowledgeable and a very good driver on the very narrow roads. It was nice as it's only a small group and there were plenty of stops for photos.

  • 18-May-2023

    We enjoyed the spectacular scenery and keen wit of our driver, Kevin. Well worth the time and money.

  • 17-May-2023

    Great itinerary, and Kevin was superb as a driver, time manager and tour guide. We really got a good introduction to the geography, history and culture of this beautiful area.

    Special compliments for our driver Dave who maneourved dexterously around the road closures to ensure we could see the maximum sights and was very knowledgeable in his commentary.

  • 30-Sep-2022

    We had a fantastic day touring the lakes. The guide/driver was extremely informative and interesting to listen to. The stops were well spread out and provided great opportunities for photos, food and drink and comfort breaks. We did this on our first day and it was a great preview to see which places we wanted to explore more during the rest of our trip. Highly recommended.

    We toured the Lake District with Duncan. He was personable and very knowledgeable of the area, it’s history, geography, and famous residents. The van was comfortable and we saw much more than we could have on our own. As it was a bank holiday, the roads were very busy, so it was nice to have someone else drive. Thank you Duncan for a great day.

    The Tour Guide was excellent . Her name was Sherry , she was very knowledgeable with lots of interesting facts and story’s for each area we covered on our 10 lake tour . She also had a good sense of humour which made it fun too .Very enjoyable day .
