What people are saying about Cumbria

Graham is a very considerate and knowledgable escort guide. It was raining, he lent the other guests and me the umbrellas, he was such nice gentleman. Time arrangement was perfect too, we have enough time to see the sightseeing points. The incl. tea set was at a decent hotel, lovely place shouldn't missed. Although the travel operator using no in-person contact, the details and info provided were clear and easy to understand. Grateful I have joined the tour to see this stunning Lake District with my naked eye.

I was so fortunate to be the only customer on the tour that day, so I had the van and the driver/guide to myself. He did a fantastic job of ensuring I got to all of the tour spots even though my train from London was delayed en route by 50 minutes. I can certainly see why people rave about the natural beauty of the Lake District. The peaks are stunning and the history is fascinating! Thank you so much for the opportunity to experience this beautiful region.
