You see the gently towering hillocks of the Peak District, experience the traditional streets and treats of Bakewell village.

Great day out in the Peak District
Rob was a fabulous guide as we explored the wonderful Peak District on the full day tour...great scenery, local history punctuated withs some relevant music and anecdotes. The plague village of Eyam was probably my favourite bit....but it was all excellent. First class.

May 2026 Peaks District tour
Our first experience with Rabbies was excellent. Our driver Mike made our day. Professional, patient, personable & knew his subject well. The day had whistle-stops across the Peaks district, finishing in Castleton where we took the option of the cavern tour (highly recommended).

A lovely interesting,...
A lovely interesting, scenic and varied day out in the Peak District. Unfortunately we didn’t get to see the viaduct as it was incredible foggy when we were passing by it.

Derbyshire country as we hoped it would be
Wonderful English countryside and quintessential Derbyshire villages of the Peak District. We even discovered some off-tourist trap, walking tracks to escape the inevitable bustle. Our guide, Darren was knowledgeable and delivered his commentary with enthusiasm, warmth and humour. A brilliant experience well worth our time and money!
