5.00Me and my partner attended the Six Lakes Spectacular on Fri 6th March. With the rate occasion of the weather being on our side, we had a beautiful experience of viewing some of the amazing sites across the Lake District including the Castlerig Stone Circle, Grasmere Village (where we bought some of the famous tasty gingerbread they have there) to some of the best lakes. Our tour guide, Elliot, was fantastic, very personable, informative about the different sites and did a brilliant job with giving us enough time on each site to wander, take pictures and soak in the beautiful views. His welcoming approach certainly made the experience a very good one and I feel much more informed about the Lake District! Highly recommended tour and tour guide. Peter

5.00We took this awesome tour while on vacation in the Lakes Region this fall. Our tour guide, also a talented stunt driver and storyteller, was named Peter Fox. I don’t know how he navigated the narrow roads while giving a wonderfully detailed and entertaining history but he did it with ease. We loved it! The bus was very clean, the stops were just long enough and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone planning to visit! Thank you, Peter for an incredible day!
Six lakes and lots of facts
