Due to the disruptions and cancellations of the train, we got off it at the Preston station unexpectedly. I was confused at first because I'm a foreign tourist, but the tour agent(Evan Evans Tours) got in touch with me immediately and the local tour guide, Tim picked me up in front of the station. He was very friendly and his explanation was easy to understand for foreigner. In addition, he helped me to take pictures at a great photo spot. There are a lot of beautiful nature, so I could forget daily life and enjoy this tour. Thank you for your kind support, Tim!

Mark, the guide, knows the area very well and has great information about many details. I'd suggest leaving the Beatrix Potter's World off the tour, unless there are young children signed up.

Round Top and the boat ride on the lake. We had a very personable and knowledgeable guide who was very attentive.

We got picked up 2 hours late from the station. No apologies from the local guide. Not worth of money at all!
