We went out for a four hour tour with Simon today and he was a star! He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We are visiting the Lake District for the first time and were nervous to explore too far on the curvy narrow roads on our own. We asked Simon to show us to all the places we wouldn’t be able to find on our own. He took us to so many great places and gave us recommendations on where to explore on our own later along the way. I’d recommend Simon unequivocally. Thanks for the memories!

What an excellent day out! We were collected at Keswick and then taken on a fascinating trip down the best lake district passes (Honister, Hardnott and Wrynose- passes we wouldn't have attempted on our own. We stopped off at the Honister Slate Mine for toilets and refreshments before travelling onto the Ravenglass steam railway and Muncaster Castle. We had an excellent driver/guide who told us lots of facts and answered all our questions- Highly recommended but beware the trip doesn't run during the winter months.

We did this ultimate private tour with tour guide Tim. This tour is really worth the money and the convenience of being able to see around Lake district while enjoying our company with Tim. The tour itself was really nice and our tour guide was really knowledgable. He kept us awake throughout our trip and he even took good photos of us. He was friendly and all smiles. The covid restriction was kept in place and there were hand sanitisers inside the van. I have already recommended this to my friends. Well done!
