Overview

This region encapsulates everything everybody loves about England.

There are rolling hills so green that you wonder whether there’s something unusual in the soil, there are rural towns with more quaint cottages than you can count, and caves with tales of kings, queens, and treachery.

On this tour, you explore the most fascinating spots in the area of Derbyshire.

You see the gently towering hillocks of the Peak District, experience the traditional streets and treats of Bakewell village, and journey into the natural wonder of Poole’s Cavern.

Join this tour and experience England in miniature.

Darren was an excellent tour guide. He had lots of interesting information and stories to share. He worked around the weather and traffic to allow us to see as much of the Peak District that we could have. I really enjoyed the trip

The tour guide was knowledgeable and funny. Our group was 8. Wonderful scenery. One of the drawbacks was the cave admission fees were included when I booked. Actually, we paid admission fees instead because cave was changed finally. The correct information should be provided. Besides, we did not have adequate time to visit Monsal Trail. Finally, it was quite difficult to locate meeting point: M1 2WD.

When we travelled from Manchester to Derbyshire and Peak District, Chris was the best tour guide we've ever had. He is also a wonderful person. He ensured that everyone travelling with him was always happy, comfortable, and safe by providing detailed explanations of the trip, the city's culture, and the history there. Very much worth and appreciated! All the best! Regards, Anirban and Soumitri Roy😊

Took this tour with Clive. To say this was a fantastic experience is an understatement. Although seating 16 it is cold and low season and there were 2 of us but they went with the tour anyway so this was in essence a private tour. Clive is a excellent guide. He is personable and energetic. He explains things en route so you have more than ample time to discover once on the ground. I also did the Snowdonia tour with him. Took fantastic photo stops along the way. I am sold on the Rabbie concept and hope to use them again for future trips.
