Dear Arif,
Thank you for your feedback, and once again please accept our sincere apologies for the delay to your tour pick-up. We completely understand your frustration and are very sorry that this impacted your experience.
As discussed via email, we have arranged a full refund for your booking. We also offered you a place on the tour as a gesture of goodwill, although we understand you chose not to continue with the trip.
We regret that we were unable to provide the experience you were expecting on this occasion and appreciate you bringing the matter to our attention. We do hope you were still able to enjoy the rest of your day in the Lake District.

Thank you for your kind words! We're glad you had an informative and relaxed experience with our friendly guide. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again on a Mountain Goat tour!

The booking company via tour did not tell us that we were not going to be going to hilltop because hilltop is closed on Fridays until July. This was very disappointing, and we felt that they were not honest and only wanted to get a booking.
Response from Host, May 2025
We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the tour. We do make it clear on Viator that Hill Top House is closed on Fridays, and therefore not included in the Friday itinerary. Instead, we visit the World of Beatrix Potter in Bowness-on-Windermere as an alternative. As a gesture of goodwill, we also treated all guests on that tour to cream tea at the Lindeth Howe Hotel. We hope you were still able to enjoy the experience overall.

Peter Fox was a terrific guide! The bus was warm and cozy, and the tour included all the essentials. First a wonderful boat tour of Windermere where we could stand on the top of the boat and see everything. Then a visit to the castle where Beatrix spent her summers. Peter was full of knowledge and helped us have the best tour possible. We went straight into Hill Top with no delays. So lovely! A bucket list moment for me. Very special!

Hello Heather_B,
Thank you for leaving this delightful review. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed both the main attractions that were included in your tour with us. Peter will love to hear how you hold his tour in such a high regard and we hope that we can welcome you back for more in the future.
Best Wishes,

It was an amazing tour, very informative and culturally a realisation of a dream, to see places I have only read as a student! The cruise was very tranquil as the lake waters glistened in the sunshine!
Response from Host, Oct 2024

Tim from Mountain Goat Tours made our rainy Lake District day so much fun. Loads of information and thoughtful of our time and interests. We would highly recommend the tour and Tim! We will definitely make another trip to the Lake District for much longer than a day!!!
