Paul was an amazing tour guide. He gave me plenty of time in each place and was full knowledge. It was a great day tour to the Lake District.
Thank you Leigh for your very kind review! We are very glad to hear on your enjoyment with Paul on our Lake District Tour and we hope to welcome you on another Mountain Goat tour again very soon.
Paul was an excellent guide—friendly, knowledgeable, informative and considerate. The transportation van was new, clean and comfortable. Though we had a small group, they didn’t cancel the trip and Paul made sure we still saw all of the sights. Fortunately, the weather was beautiful and we couldn’t have been more impressed with the area - beautiful, rugged scenery (lakes, mountains, rivers and farm animals) mixed in with quaint villages with shops, pubs and cafes. We highly recommend Mountain Goat Tours and this particular tour. Thank you!! We will be booking again in the future.
Thank you for your kind review and recommendation Brenda! We're glad the weather looked out for you and you had a memorable experience of our beautiful Lake District. Paul will be delighted to hear on your enjoyment and we hope to welcome you on another Mountain Goat Tour very soon!
This was a great tour. Jean was a great driver/guide adapting to the conditions as required. The Lake District is beautiful and I really loved the tour of them. We had plenty of good photos spots and the scenery as we were driving around was stunning. I highly recommend this tour.
Thank you for your lovely review and recommendation Kacee! We are grateful that you chose us to show you more of our stunning Lake District. Jean will be thrilled to hear on her positive impact on your day, creating a lasting memory.
The natural beauty and historical charm of this region is not to be missed. It's the perfect place to unplug, unwind, and breathe in the fresh air. A trip across the lake and a train ride await. Amble through the villages and take a walk on a quiet trail. Your well-informed guide takes care of the details so you can enjoy your visit.
Thank you for capturing the spirit of our tours so beautifully! We’re glad you enjoyed the natural beauty, charming villages, and relaxing pace. Our guides take pride in handling the details so you can simply unwind and explore. We look forward to welcoming you on another Mountain Goat adventure soon!
Jean was a very pleasant and knowledgeable guide who added a lot to our most beautiful day. Highly recommended! Both the Train and boat trip were easy and fun to experience in this beautiful part of England. Timing and schedule were perfect.
Thank you for your kind words! We're so pleased to hear you had a beautiful day and that Jean's knowledge and warm approach made it even better. Delighted you enjoyed the train and boat experiences too. We appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again!
This is a great tour to get a taste of the Lake District. Bowness was such a charming town with lots of bakeries and eateries to stop at and eat before the lake cruise. We had fantastic weather and the lake cruise was very smooth. The steam train was a fun, quick experience. We walked off the boat and right to the train where Mountain Goat has a reserved part of the train for us. The other villages/hamlets we stop at are very small and the time spent is each is enough to wander and quickly grab an ice cream, drink, or pop in a shop or two. The Tarn How stop was a a highlight. The views were just stunning! Jean was a great driver/guide with lots of knowledge. She gave great tips on where to go at each stop. This tour gave us just a taste of the area and we would love to go and stay in the area.
Thank you for the lovely review! We're so glad you enjoyed your day exploring the Lake District with us. It’s great to hear the weather, lake cruise and steam train all added to the experience, and that Jean helped make the day smooth and informative. Tarn Hows is always a highlight and we’re pleased it left such an impression. We’d love to welcome you back to explore more!
Research the weather before you go. Great trip despite our very rainy and windy weather for almost the whole day. Our guide made it a memorable day.
Thanks for your review! We’re glad your guide helped make the day memorable despite the rainy weather. We hope to welcome you back on another Mountain Goat tour soon. Maybe with sunnier skies next time!
This was a most enjoyable trip. Some beautiful scenery and some cute little towns. Our driver was excellent and full of information.
Thank you for your kind words! We’re glad you enjoyed the scenery and the charming towns. It’s great to hear our driver’s information added to your experience. We hope to welcome you again soon!
