Traveler reviews
3 Day Lake District
It was an awesome experience, Bruce was a great guide with a lot of knowledge and history facts. The lodgings were very nice. I would recommend this trip highly.
Wonderful tour to Lake District with Roger
We very much enjoyed our 3-day tour to the Lake District. Our guide, Roger, was terrific and very knowledgeable. He imparted lots of interesting insights, yet gave us plenty of time to just enjoy the scenery to the accompaniment of entertaining music. Thank you Roger and Rabbie’s!
A magical trip to the Lake District
This was a lovely trip that had an amazing balance between villages, natural sights, the laid back and those opportunities to do a little hike, if you so chose… but never necessary. Great views wherever you stood were in abundance! I want to give a special thanks to Graeme who made the trip perfect! Great sense of humor and great knowledge of all our stops. Thank you, thank you for making our trip to the Lake District a treat!
Tour guide, Roger, was...
Tour guide, Roger, was thoughtful & interesting. The B&B (Eden Green) was perfect in every way imaginable! The published itinerary, however, was not clearly stated and we ended up seeing things not listed & missing out on sites that were listed. A more detailed explanation of all stops would be more helpful.
Lake District Journey
Traveling the rural roads of the Lake District with an experienced driver/guide and viewing the scenic countryside and villages. Memorable!
