    Frank was a great tour host. Unique way of presenting with music and humor. Provided some historical background which was very interesting and showed he clearly had a knowledgeable interest in the history. Pleasant, courteous, friendly, accommodating - gave tips about various local areas of interest. And the piece de resistance…the views! This made our entire trip. So very worth it.

    We had a beautiful day for this tour, and it did not disappoint. Our driver, Lee, was an excellent tour guide and driver--which is very important as some of the roads were quite narrow and difficult to navigate! We thoroughly enjoyed the breathtaking beauty of the area and our stops in the lovely towns of Grasmere and Windermere. We only had one day to see the Lakes District, and this tour was exactly what we hoped it would be.

    Lee, John and Matt were excellent! Lee had a game with a prize which warmed up the trip. We learned about the Lake District as well as having fun. We had time exploring the towns. I like the most was walked/hike to the top of a hill in Keswick. I learned from John the plant Nettle, can be used medicinally, ceremonially and as a highly nutritious food source. Roots, seeds, stems and young, tender leaves are all edible. Native Indigenous people use stinging nettle for medicine, ceremony and as a food source. Mature fibrous stems have been used to make rope, cloth and fishing net. As you can see, he has good knowledge of variety of subjects. All in all, I highly recommend this tour.

    It was cancelled by operator day before trip. I did read other reviews about the same thing from this company so i wasn't surprised by what happened. We had a backup plan.

    Had an amazing experience. The busybus was on time for pickup. Fortunately the entire bus was just for us. We were a group of 10 friends. The driver was very knowledgeable and friendly. Really would recommend to anyone. Worth booking it.
