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.

Half day tour of the Lakes in a 4x4 - I would highly recommend this tour. Ian is a fantastic guide; warm and welcoming. He was lovely with my children; made us all feel completely at ease. The tour is awesome! We went off the beat and track and saw sites we would not otherwise have seen. Breathtaking views throughout. And the best bit was when Isn drove through the water! Definitely worth doing and we would go again!

A most excellent tour - Everywhere Ian took us was memorable and photogenic. Ian was knowledgeable and easy going. From being in the hills, to being at the lake shore, great memories were being made.

Beautifully adapted tour. Highly recommended if you have mobility issues - Beautiful scenery and stress free way to see the area. Ian is super friendly and knowledgeable. The tour was very well adapted to a member of our group who has mobility issues and a learning difficulty. Ian was very open, patient and friendly. We went to a beautiful cafe and gift shop, saw amazing mountains, highland cows, lakes and more! Ian was very responsive when we communicated with him about adapting the tour and we would not hesitate to recommend.
