The most beautifuliest experience during the trip. - The trip to the 10 lakes led by Tim was an unforgettable experience for me.
I visited England for the first time and I found the high mountains and the wonderful lake fascinating.
Tim's engaging stories about the sights and his safe driving on the steep, narrow roads was a real treat.
The lines of poetry and the walks at the stops made the trip an experience of a lifetime for me.
Thank you Tim for the most beautifuliest experience during the trip.

Enjoy the scenery and learn about the area. - If like us you are new to the Lake district then this tour is ideal. Mark our driver was very knowledgeable and the views that you get are beautiful. Just the right amount of time to wander and take photos at the stops. I was pleased not to be driving along some of the narrow roads and it was great to be able to sit back and enjoy the scenery.

Lake District's golden find. - As a family of five, we took the 10-lake tour with Mountain Goat, and it was the highlight of our trip. Peter Fox, our guide, was fantastic. His knowledge of the Lake District was impressive, and he was patient and accommodating. He even took us to a surprise viewpoint that was breathtaking. If you’re short on time and want to skip the hassle of driving, book this tour—you won’t regret it. Peter's passion for the Lake District shines through in his extensive knowledge and engaging storytelling throughout the tour. Exploring on your own wouldn’t capture the same depth of appreciation for the historical significance of each area.

Go directly to the local travel website rather than believing on Viator. - Either you need to update your website or be nice . At least the local travel site guys you booked into offered me a voucher that I can reuse during my next visit. Look at yourself. It’s definitely not about money from my end ..it’s your responsibility to say so why it happened.. closure .. just like that.
