Overview

The English Lake District is one of the most recent additions to UNESCO’s World Heritage List. Admire the rolling countryside and craggy fells whilst listen to your guide about the Lake District's history, geology and the people that have shaped this much-loved region.

Along the way, you will pass some of the region’s most spectacular sights, such as the Borrowdale Valley, Buttermere, Honister pass, Ullswater, and Grasmere. There are many stops on route; a highlight is the Castlerigg Stone Circle with its panoramic views. Our friendly driver/guide will provide an on-board commentary on this full day spectacular tour of lakes and mountains.

This was a once in a life time tour we were taken on routes normal tourists cars would never go. On the day of this tour the Kirkstone Pass was closed for road repairs. So our tour driver MARK added a number of other routes to the tour. We went up a number of single track roads to areas with unique views of the Lakes and countryside around them. Mark gave us a running commentary of the areas we drove through, he was obviously passionate about the Lake District and knew la lot of history about it, he stopped a number of times to give us time to take memorable photos. I would highly recommend this tour company.

Fantastic scenery and a great mix of fellow sightseer's on the van. One of the joys of small group tours is getting to make new friends. Mountain Goat's guide/driver Patrick was, very knowledgeable and personable. As first time visitors to the lakes district the tour gave us a broad overview of the area. So beautiful! We will definitely be back to the region and look forward to booking our next tour with La Vacanza Travel/Mountain Goat.

We were rather upset when our original trip was cancelled 4 days before we were due to go. We got a full refund immediately and were able to book a similar trip which went very well. We were very lucky to have a full day of cold clear sunny Lake district weather with some beautiful views and our driver, Geoff , was amazing very knowledgeable kind and patient would book this again.
