Jason our guide was local and his information was superb
This tour was comprehensive, included a cruise, visit to a 'castle', visit to the house at Hilltop Farm, Earn Hows and Hawkeshead. The tour director was well-informed, presenting information easily.

We are honoured to hear that our driver guide presented the knowledge and stories well for yourself, contributing to a great long lasting memory. Thank you for choosing us to Go Explore.

I always look at reviews before I book a tour and I've been on a lot of tours. The reviews for this tour with Mountain Goat Tours looked excellent but my experience of going on the tour itself certainly wasn't. My wife and friends came to the Lake District for this tour but were so let down by it. We were packed like cattle onto a big 16 seater bus which arrived at Hill Top House after another bus, run by Mountain Goat Tours arrived with 16 Americans doing a group tour. As if that wasn't bad enough, there were also two other buses full of Japanese people also on a group tour which arrived at the same time. Hill Top is tiny and having so many people arrive at the same time was ludicrous. The staff at Hill Top didn't look very happy either as there seemed to be no advance planning to space this huge crowd out by Mountain Goat.It felt that they valued the big group tours over the independent tour that we were on. We were told that we had to wait until all of the group tours had been through and were just left to wander by ourselves about the garden. There were two Mountain Goat people with our tour though who did nothing. Eventually, we were allowed in but it was crammed and it really wasn't the experience that I was led to believe it was from the tour description and the reviews. It ruined our day and my wife and friends were very, very disappointed. I would not recommend Mountain Goat Tours.
We're very sorry to hear that you didn't have a great time on tour with us Steve. Unfortunately, in the summer season Hill Top does get busy with visitors due to the popularity of the historic National Trust attraction. Due to our great partnership, Hill Top always has a time slot for our scheduled tours, so there is never a worry about not having time around the house. Unfortunately we cannot control the amount of groups or people at the time we arrive and we do suggest that if there is any queries on this before booking that our customers contact us directly as we would have suggested for yourself to visit at a quieter season. Our tour description and reviews depict the beautiful and historic nature of Hill Top and the surrounding areas that we visit, that inspired Beatrix herself, which even with the peak times, has a lot to be enjoyed and appreciated. We would love to investigate further in a personable manner with yourself, so if you would like to email us: tours@mountain-goat.com or ring us: 01904405341, then we would love to talk further. Best wishes, Mountain Goat
Couldn’t ask for more was a wonderful day many thanks to the guide he was so helpful and told as everything we wanted and needed to know and really friendly
Thank you for your 5 star review of our Beatrix Potter half day tour! We are delighted to hear about your great day and kind words regarding our driver guide. Thank you for choosing us to Go Explore the Lake District. Best wishes, Mountain Goat
What a lovely day! We were guided and driven by Andy, a gentleman whose knowledge, charm and professionalism were impressive. The minibus was clean and comfortable. Andy checked frequently that all his guests were getting enough a/c and could hear. The ferry ride across Lake Windermere was so beautiful, with white fluffy clouds and blue sky above the lovely hills around the lake. We enjoyed all the stops, including Wray Castle, Hawkshead, points of beauty around the lakes, the location of a Roman fort and of course, Hilltop, Beatrix Potter’s farm. The guides at the farm were so happy to go into details for anyone who wanted to talk about the furnishings, art or history , and seemed genuinely thrilled by our interest. We could have happily spent hours in the gardens. This tour would be a win for not just Beatrix Potter fans, but also to enjoy the beauty, history and charm of the Lake District.
Thank you Sara for your 5 star review of our Beatrix Potter tour! We are thrilled to hear about your great day with ourselves and driver guide Andy, who's knowledge and charm has greatly contributed to your experience! We're also glad to hear that you managed to have some meaningful conversations with the guides at the farm, bringing you closer to Beatrix's heritage and inspiration there. Thank you for choosing us to Go Explore the Lake District. Best wishes, Mountain Goat
I enjoyed visiting Beatrix Potter’s home Hill Top Farm but would have liked more time there. I also enjoyed the cruise on the lake and the other places we visited. I would recommend the tour to other visitors to the Lakes.
Thank you Jane for your 5 star review and recommendation of our Beatrix Potter tour. We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your time exploring the landscapes that inspired Beatrix herself. We will take your feedback into consideration regarding times when we annually review our tour itineraries. Thank you for choosing us to Go Explore. Best wishes, Mountain Goat
I thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon. Our driver was excellent, very knowledgeable and chatty. It was a good all round experience
Thank you Lynne for your kind words about our Beatrix Potter tour. We are delighted to hear about your great time with ourselves, exploring the landscapes that inspired Beatrix and her stories. Thank you for choosing us to Go Explore the Lake District. Best wishes, Mountain Goat
We had such a wonderful time on this half day tour of Beatrix Potter’s home & Lake District countryside. Peter Fox our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable about both Potter and the general countryside which played to both my and my husband’s interests. We loved getting to see Potter’s home, Hill Top Farm, and learn about her sheep raising. The lake cruise on Windermere was great fun and a nice way to break up the driving. We also visited Tarn Hows which was stunning, Wray Castle, and a stop in Hawkshead, a medieval village with delicious gingerbread. When we booked the tour, we didn’t realize there would be so many opportunities to get out of the van and explore areas on our own and were thrilled that we were able to do so. Book direct through Mountain Goat to make sure you are getting the correct tour.
Thank you Olivia for your 5 star review and kind words regarding our Beatrix Potter tour with our driver guide Peter Fox.

We're very happy to hear that our driver guides knowledge and passion has been of great interest to yourself and husband, so we will be sure to pass on those kind words. Thank you for choosing us to Go Explore the Lake District. Best wishes, Mountain Goat
Our day touring the Lake District with our guide, Tim, was one of the highlights of this part of our trip. I had been wanting to see Beatrix Potter's home ever since I was a child hearing my grandmother read the stories to me, so this was a dream come true. Seeing Peter Rabbit's garden made the story come alive all over again. The cruise on Lake Windermere was also lovely way to enjoy the day.
Thank you for your 5 star review of our Beatrix Potter tour. We are delighted to hear that this trip allowed you to achieve your dream of seeing Hill Top Farm, connecting your nostalgia to the heritage and beautiful location. We will pass on your kind words to Tim as he'll be very happy to know that he contributed to this great memory for yourself. Thank you for choosing us to Go Explore. Best wishes, Mountain Goat
It was a very good tour. I was a bit impatient because I couldn't get a pick-up, but the others do a great tour.
Thank you so much for your kind words and 5 star review of our Beatrix Potter's tour. We're delighted to hear that you had a great day with ourselves exploring the landscapes that formed the inspiration for Beatrix's tales. We're sorry to hear that our driver was running behind, unfortunately this may happen due to traffic, but rest assured we will always contact our customers. Thank you for choosing us to Go Explore the Lake District. Best wishes, Mountain Goat
