5.00The knowledge, experience and humor of our outstanding driver:guide, Tony! What I liked best is that he didn’t need to talk excessively the whole 8 hours but when we passed points of interests and stops and always answered our questions. Amazing countryside vistas

5.00We appreciated most the breath-taking views from Wrynose and Hardknott passes, and the skillful driving of our guide round hairpin bends! We had a delicious lunch in the hotel at Boot and enjoyed our trip on the little steam train from Ravenglass.
Amazing trip - must do in the lakes

5.00I couldn’t recommend this trip enough. You get to see so much of the lakes in one day & learn about the local area. Our tour guide Mark P was excellent - he was very informative & accommodating along with a charming charisma . His driving was particularly impressive driving up the steep winding hills. Such a fun day out with amazing views even In the rain - don't hesitate to book.
Exciting adventure

3.00The tour had some highs and lows. Firstly and most Importantly, the driver was very good . His knowledge of the region and driving skills were amazing. Views were spectacular !!! Sadly for some reason we were taken to have a steam train ride, that was not mentioned in the tour itinerary and also i didnt notice any other reviews about it either. So I don't understand why was it added to the tour. I understand the train was old and traditional, but we were put into tiny kid size wagons, that were claustrophobic, dirty and full of bugs and cobwebs. Many previous reviews mention, that there was plenty of photo stops on the road and stop at the castle. However we had only two photo stops (Langdale and Wast water) in whole day and no castle. Instead of wasting around 40 min on waiting the train and riding it, we could had couple of stops for views and photos in the mountains. There were many cars and minivans parking around high passes, so I can't see one reason, why we couldn't have done it. Yes I know it is mentioned that all these passes are pass by, but if we had time for the train, we surely could have had time to really enjoy the mountains. So for me personally this train thing and lack of stops in the mountain ruined big part of the tour.
