Absolutely fantastic day out - thank you so much Ian and Richard! The day was planned as a surprise for my birthday by my Partner, so I had no idea what we were doing or where we were going. Firstly we went on a 4 hour 4x4 trip round the Lake District discovering many hidden gems. During the day as Ian chatted to me he didn't let on that there was another surprise planned for me later in the day. We had so much fun, Ian is so lovely. We chatted, laughed and got to see many hidden secrets around the Lakes. When the tour finished, the next surprise was waiting for me - a 2 hour sail around Windermere with Richard the Skipper. Another fabulous trip - Richard was lovely and great fun. Not being a fan of water he put me at ease and made sure I was comfortable. The perfect way to celebrate turning a year older! A massive thank you for a day I will remember fondly. Highly recommend this unique experience for anyone visiting the Lakes! It's worth every penny!

Our guide Ian gave a wonderful tour of the surroundings of Windermere: up to the top of Kirkstone Pass, past many idyllic villages surrounded by sheep-filled fields, to an awe-inspiring slate-mine-cave and across steep gravel roads with fantastic views. Ian was a fun guide, great to chat with and took great care to accommodate requests for extra photo stops along the route. I would totally recommend this tour for any small group of people wanting to see a highlite reel of what Windermere has to offer.

We only had a short time in the lakes and wanted to see as much as possible while we were there. This was the best way to do that, it was a fantastic 4 hours enjoyed every minute and saw everything we wanted to. Ian was great company and so easy to talk to. Would highly recommend this trip for those that want to see as much as possible in a short period of time

Wow! What an amazing experience. Our guide, Ian, was such a welcoming, lovely gentleman who made the tour all that more special. He collected us from our hotel before taking us on some incredible scenic routes, all whilst explaining where we were going and teaching us about the history of the landscape. Ian guided us to a local cafe to stop for a quick drink before continuing through winding roads and even setting off foot through an old slate quarry. I highly recommend this experience for anyone who wants a private tour of the beautiful landscape and to meet a friendly, experienced tour guide! We felt completely safe in Ian's hands. It was worth every penny and I hope to book again one summer to see how different the landscape looks!

Having been to the lakes a few times we were looking for something a bit different. Saw the reviews for Ian and decided the more personal trip was what we wanted. Really enjoyed going to locations we probably would never thought of or would have wanted to drive to! Would recommend 100%

If you are planning to see the Lake District please don’t hesitate to book Ian’s 4x4 private tour. We were fortunate to experience it this weekend. Ian took us to places we would never have found by ourselves. The truly stunning slate caves, waterfalls and beautiful snow capped scenery. We were taken off road through beautiful mountainous terrain. We had considered other tours however I am so pleased that we found his tour. He gave us a bespoke tour with our ideas alongside his itinerary. It was the highlight of our trip to the Lake District. We were so lucky to find his tour….I can’t recommend it highly enough. Thank you Ian.

Came to the lakes for a short three day break, weather not so good - the best day out! Ian was brilliant, considerate to all our needs, explained everything, and even gave us options as to what we wanted to do. He made the day so much fun, and we can’t wait to go back. We definitely doing the sailing experience next! Thank you so much!
