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.

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.

Excellent day trip. Pre paid for a 45min guided tour. Arrived bang ontime, receptionist was very nice, friendly and helpful. Our guide collected us up and we followed him around the caves and chambers stopping occasionally to talk about interesting facts and point out using light effects, certain areas and their story. We found this tour very structured, the guide was very knowledgable. He explained we should remain together and to use the appropiate handrail and not to touch. Mind your head and step signs. We throughly enjoyed our day. Cavern cafe, useful, hot & cold food & drinks available, bit pricey. Ample carkparking. Enjoyable day. .
