    Enjoyed the trip and wonderful scenery. However, we were disappointed that we could not access Beatrix Potter's home as this was one of the main reasons for going.and It was mentioned on the itinerary.. Both drivers/guides were pleasant and informative. A very long day but I guess it couldn't be avoided as there was a lot of ground to cover.

    Despite the quirky English summer - four seasons in one day, this was an excellent day out in the Yorkshire Dales and the southern Lakes District. Both drivers (JJ and Jane) were very informative without being over the top and had great driving skills, knowing all the back roads to avoid the traffic. We thoroughly enjoyed the day.

    We enjoyed this trip immensely and the two guides we had during the day were excellent! The Lake Windermere cruise was lovely however unfortunately had a little rain so visibility was a little limited. The tour was well organised and ran smoothly from beginning to end. Great way to see the Yorkshire area with lots of history explained along the way
