    The tour was outstanding, thanks to our amazing tour guide David and beauty of Lake district off course. David shared lot of interesting information about different places which was made our tour lively. The old photos shared by him were simply awesome. He has got nice sense of humor. I had two children with me and David went extra mile to adjust our itinerary. This was memorable trip indeed !

    This was an amazing tour. Guide was well-informed, friendly and helpful. I booked this at the last minute and would highly recommend. Plenty of bathroom stops and good conversation. I was picked up from my hotel in Windermere, on time and I got to see things off the beaten path, avoiding traffic in a high tourist season. I was there to see Fell ponies and see shows and farms related, and this was an add-on for me, but really appreciated learning more about the local history. Would not hesitate to hire again, great driver, very kind person. Also, please note you can book directly through Brook tours which is what I'd do next time.

    Took on my mum on this tour on our first day staying in the Lake District, and so glad we did it! David is incredibly knowledgeable, and friendly. A excellent guide. The tour was interesting and I am sure we wouldn’t have seen half the landmarks we visited if we had not done this tour. Highly recommend people do this at the start of their holiday to get an idea of the entire area, a must for first timers to the Lake District!

    I went to Lake District after spending time in Edinburgh and the highland. So I thought I have seen it all but I still find Lake District is stunningly beautiful, with lakes and pretty building dated as far back as 1200s. The town where the Windermere train station is located is simple but you can walk further down to see the pretty Windermere lake or choose to live in other town of Lake District. I had only 2 days 1 night there so I engaged a private tour. My guide, David is very knowledgeable as he shared history of the various lakes, towns and off the beaten track area that we visited. Allow him to lead and he will bring you to the best places. I really enjoy my tour of Lake District and plan to return again with a longer stay. I recommend a visit George Fisher shoe shop (I got a pair of very good shoe there) and the Grasmere famous gingerbread shop (I am not a fan of gingerbread cookies but theirs is so special). And do consider to visit the stone ridge which predated as far back as the Stonehenge. I will recommend at least 2 nights stay.

    I’m really glad I took this tour. David is knowledgeable as he shared about each place that we visited. He is also nice to talk to, and I feel safe as a solo traveller. He also knows places that is not usually visited by tourist. David is very experience, I will certainly recommend to go with him.
