What people are saying about Windermere

Our guide was great. Experienced, careful & considerate driver. Very knowledgeable of area & it's history. I did this same tour last year as a solo traveller & was just as impressed this time. We saw amazing views many of which we'd never manage on our own. Scenic routes & many, many opportunities for photography. We had ample stops for taking in the scenery /refreshments/toilets. Great for all ages & mobility as very little walking needed.

This tour was by far my favorite. Lake district is really a place to behold, views were magnificent. We will definitely come back here for sure, plus Shelly our tour guide was an amazing storyteller and really know her stuff.

Peter is such a knowledgeable tour guide. We had a great time exploring the Lake District with him. Especially enjoyed listening to the poems he recited.

A brilliant day out. Well worth the money. Lovely being in a small group. Top notch. Transport was very comfortable.

Derek was a wonderful driver and guide and took much interest in letting us know the attractions
