Happy Aussie travellers to the Lake District - From the moment we walked into the Mountains Goat Tourist office the staff were very friendly and helpful. We had Steve as our bus driver and tour guide and he was great! He had lots of great information to tell us about the sights and places and went the extra mile to make sure we had the best time. He really made the tour so enjoyable. Thanks again for looking after myself and my older parents!

Beautiful stops and learnt a lot too - Loved this tour! The bus driver Steve was excellent, sharing his passion for the Lakes District and Beatrix Potter as well as a wealth of information. I really enjoyed hearing about her life, and about her conservation work as well as her books. The stops were all good, I could definitely go to Wray Castle again it was peaceful and beautiful.

Two thumbs up! - We saw many beautiful places and would definitely recommend this tour. Andy (our guide) went above and beyond to show us hidden gems in Windemere and Conniston. He gave us a clear picture of Beatrix Potter's life here in the Lake District.

This is a Must Do- Lake District experience - Tour was fantastic! Visited so many beautiful places and learned so much more about the area and Beatrix Potter. She was far more than a talented painted and writer. Tour guide was excellent- Thanks for a great day out
