Interesting tour
The guide is a very empathetic person and an excellent driver. She tried to attend to the passengers' needs the entire time. These types of tours can be tedious due to the long distances, but it is an opportunity to see sites in an accessible way. The guide is a very attentive person. Thank you.

Great tour, don’t miss it.
This is a long day but definitely worth it. The weather wasn’t great but the scenery and the extensive knowledge of our Driver/Guide Jean, about the people and places of this area, well and truly made up for it. The ferry ride and train ride were added extras to the day. Definitely recommend.

A postcard with commentary
Definitely worthwhile especially while in the area. Our guide, Lee, was fantastic. He was very entertaining and animated and kept you engaged throughout the day. He is also not a bad photographer.
I felt very spoiled being able to go on the lake cruise as well as a steam train. The lakes were very picturesque.
Thanks again Lee for the brilliant day. You made my trip to the Lake District very memorable and unforgettable.
