The lake district is gorgeous! Our guide was knowledgeable and polite!! It’s a great day trip from Manchester.
I had a perfect experience! The 16 seater coach started right on time and our guide, Rob, was superb— helpful, knowledgeable, and punctual. The Windermere lake, the little villages of Grasmere and Hawkshead, Wordsworth’s cottage— all done in a timely fashion. I would highly recommend this trip. I would highly recommend the Rabbie’s tour company as well.
It was amazing!! The tour guide Pete was great, I got to learn a lot about the Lake District and the views were stunning!
What a great trip to Windermere! The scenery is magnificent. Also, our driver/guide Mike is a nice and knowledgeable man.
Steve was is amazing! Thank you for being so kind, knowledgeable, and professional. I would definitely recommend this tour.
Loved this trip. Clive our driver was fantastic, very friendly and knowledgeable. It was a rainy day but that didn't distract from a very beautiful part of the world. Would recommend this trip to everyone
Great tour, very scenic, entertaining, the driver Derrin is very knowledgeable, you learn a lot of information, and he is very humorous. Very British! Trip is highly recommended.
Richie is an absolute gentleman and legend. The bus was clean and it felt like a private tour given there’s only three of us (exc Richie) in the tour.
Richie was an amazing guide! He was super funny and accommodating, I would highly recommend. Got to see lots of the Lake District in such a short time, I’m even thinking of doing the three day tour in the summer time!
Really nice lightweight tour with stops at some of the highlights of the Lake District. Feedback - I wish we had more restroom stops along the way. Also all the tea/coffee places were closed on our last stop, little disappointing as it was cold and a hot drink would have been nice. Maybe Ambleside might be a better place to stop for lunch instead of Grasmere?
