It was my first trip to Lake Districts and I absolutely loved it. Gerry is very friendly, kind and knowledgeable person. He knows Lake District like the back of his hand. Although it wasn't the best weather to see the lakes but he made sure that we visit as much as we could. It's still wonderful no matter how the weather was like. I will definitely come back one day. Would rate it 6 stars if I can :)

Booked for April 2020 but was cancelled due to Covid and wouldn’t refund money,issued voucher to use in 2021.Now informed that they won’t honour existing booking as they’ve put price up by £150 ???????? so have refunded original money.Have kept my money for over a year to help their business survive but now increased the price by about 80% and don’t want to look after existing bookings.Shocking way for a company to act so avoid them at all cost.Contact Liverpool taxi drivers via social media who will look after you at a fraction of the cost with a professional service. Brit Movie Tours are greedy and unprofessional !!!

We had a very interesting morning touring the Beatles’ childhood homes. I had my one year old son with me and it was quite doable with him remaining in his pram throughout. Our driver Eddie was brilliant! He was knowledgeable, helpful, flexible and friendly. This was the highlight of our few days in Liverpool and with the country still under lockdown we had all the locations entirely to ourselves!
