It was my first trip to Lake Districts and I absolutely loved it. Gerry is very friendly, kind and knowledgeable person. He knows Lake District like the back of his hand. Although it wasn't the best weather to see the lakes but he made sure that we visit as much as we could. It's still wonderful no matter how the weather was like. I will definitely come back one day. Would rate it 6 stars if I can :)

We did this ultimate private tour with tour guide Tim. This tour is really worth the money and the convenience of being able to see around Lake district while enjoying our company with Tim. The tour itself was really nice and our tour guide was really knowledgable. He kept us awake throughout our trip and he even took good photos of us. He was friendly and all smiles. The covid restriction was kept in place and there were hand sanitisers inside the van. I have already recommended this to my friends. Well done!

We went out for a four hour tour with Simon today and he was a star! He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We are visiting the Lake District for the first time and were nervous to explore too far on the curvy narrow roads on our own. We asked Simon to show us to all the places we wouldn’t be able to find on our own. He took us to so many great places and gave us recommendations on where to explore on our own later along the way. I’d recommend Simon unequivocally. Thanks for the memories!
