A Perfect Afternoon in the Lake District! - I would highly recommend this tour. Ian was great host and took our group of three to some really beautiful and "out of the way" spots. This tour was my son's favorite day of our UK trip. That says it all! Thanks, Ian!

A must! - Absolute must when visiting the Lakes, we saw more than we ever would on our own, couldn’t recommend highly enough. Great communication, very competent and safe driver and we had a fantastic experience.

Just Do It! - Myself and my daughter highly recommend Ian and his 4 x 4 journey around the South Lakes. Ian is a very knowledgeable young man who showed us places within the Lake District which we would never have visited on our own. Our whole Lake District experience was truly enhanced by this wonderful trip.

Best Tour of our Trip! A must do for anyone visiting. - The highlight of our visit to the Lakes Region! Ian was wonderful. When we said we needed coffee he didn’t just stop in town, he took us up the side of a mountain to a tiny cafe with a nearby waterfall. We saw caves, gorgeous views of the lakes, a castle, and so much more than we expected. We would never have seen these gorgeous sites without booking this, as the roads are so narrow and steep. This is a must-do adventure for sure! Thanks Ian!

Lovely time driving with Ian! - We had a wonderful time with Ian driving through the beautiful picturesque Lake District on windy roads. Ian gave us lots of information, stopped along the way to take photos, walk short distances through fields and in a slate quarry, and visit pubs. We would not have been able to see these places and small beautiful towns on our own. Highly recommend!

Great way spending a few hours - This is your custom tour of the things you want to see. The driver and tour guide has great local knowledge of the area with an off road ride through a small river. It was a truly magical short 4 hours where we got to see more great places not before seen. The cave was the highlight. Highly recommend this tour.

Brilliant trip to see some of the beautiful highlights of the area - Brilliant trip, got to stop at several lovely places and see lots of beautiful scenery along the way. Ian was a lovely guide, really friendly and even went out of his way to pick us up and drop us back after our car broke down. We were only in the area for a couple of days so this was a perfect way to see the highlights without the worry of driving, directions, parking or exploring narrow icy lanes. Would definitely recommend and is great value for a whole family trip.
