What a gem of a tour! Our guide Peter was a wonderful gentleman who took us to see some unforgettable sights of the lake district. I recognised areas that previous tours had included ; such as some highlights included in the high mountain adventure, Beatrix Potter experience and 10 lakes tour. I took this tour with my elderly mother and i really wanted her to experience a shorter tour that could inspire her with the best of all the tours including a short cruise and this tour did not disappoint at all! She throughly enjoyed herself. Had it have been any longer, it would have been exhausting for her, so this was perfect in every way. Thank you so much.
