Lake District Taster but totally worth it 👌 - Great experience with Mountain Goat and with David our tour guide for the day. Everything was really as described in the tour details and it was totally worth it. Will recommend this Trip to others who want to get a glimpse of Lake District in a short span of time.

Dave is a great tour guide! - The tour was very picturesque and a good way to spend the day even with slightly gloomy weather. Our amazing tour guide, Dave helped to make this tour as enjoyable as it was by giving us great instructions on what to expect throughout the day as well as always being easy to find after getting off the train or back onto the bus. You’ll have a great time on the tour by taking in a different side of the UK and consider yourself lucky if you get Dave as your tour guide!
