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!

Surprise view is regarded by many as one of the best viewpoints in the whole of the Lake District. This tour incorporates not only Surprise view but includes Ashness bridge, also known for it's world famous views. We will travel through the 'Borrowdale Valley'. One of the most idyllic places on earth. Driving along the picturesque Newlands valley we make a brief stop to view Moss Force, a spectacular waterfall, which is easily accessible being barely 200 metres from the roadside.

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!

I joined the North Wales Adventure with Busy Bus, on 26/9/2020. It was a fantastic day trip through N. Wales and the Snowdonia Park. The places we visited, the scenery we met, the organisation of the trip were brilliant. Frank, our driver and guide was amazing! He made our tour unforgettable! A wonderful man, who loves his job and made us a little Welsh too. I'm looking forward to joining more day trips with Busy Bus. Thank you.

We had so much fun on our first tour that we booked a second one later in the week! The first day we did Windsor Castle, Stonehenge and Lacock (instead of Bath). David was very patient and easy to chat with. He even showed us the Eton area and Woodhenge. He gave us pastries when we finished Windsor Castle. We all had a lovely day. Later in the week, we did Leeds Castle, Bodiam Castle, Canterbury and White Cliffs of Dover, which was also excellent. We saw so much in those two days and David was so kind. He was like a dad, making sure we had umbrellas and that we weren't hungry. We'd definitely book another tour with him in the future.
