Thanks to the selection of spots, I was able to get an initial, appealing impression of the Lake District.

Enjoyable
It was an enjoyable day. The tour guide /driver was very professional at his job. He gave us a full story of the region, its history present and past. We enjoyed the boat ride and the surroundings. Will do it again.
