Spectacular views and stunning driving from Duncan - oh my word, these guides need to be awarded some sort of DVLA platinum driving status. There were moments on the high narrow slopes when I was nervous but Duncan was zen with bionic skills even leisurely carried on his commentary. I've now been on the 10 Lake tour, the Beatrix Potter tour and now this last high mountain pass tour of the year and I've been totally thrilled with each experience. This tour had stunning views! Our group had lunch at the Brook House Inn where the lunch was really yummy and very reasonably priced. Can't fault the day, tour or guide. Thank you so much!

It was a very good journey and the best part of the journey was Tony our excellent driver. His driving was first class his commentary was very interesting and his general manner very helpful, courteous and considerate to us. he also ensured that we were in time for the birds of prey at Muncaster. And their flying and was totally fascinating. We had a very good day.

The most memorable part of this trip was Wast water. Was interesting to see the landscapes while was raining heavily.

We had the most beautiful day in the Cumbria, Lake District. We never been in Lake District so I thought would be wonderful if somebody will show us around. We booked a trip with the Mountain Goat and they took us all around the Lake District. The Driver was amazing. All around the trip he was talking about the sights and was funny as well. We had several stops to take pictures and we had a table booked in a small village at a local pub. The food was great. Also I would like to highlight the driver's skills , OMG , he was excellent how he drove the mini bus and what roads . 👏 I already recommend to 2 of my friends the full day tour and the Montain Goat company.

This was the High Point of my holiday in many ways. The stunning scenery, the skill of driver Derek to negotiate the narrow, winding, steep (and I mean steep) roads over the high passes. He was a font of knowledge with a wry humour . His driving was just the right speed to appreciate the scenery. There were plenty of stops for photo opps. We were so lucky to also have a fabulously sunny day but I don’t think Derek had a hand in that! I would recommend this trip to anybody. It is worth every penny.
