Derek's vast and insightful knowledge of the Lake district kept us interested throughout the day. Never lost his sense of humor in spite of his bruised arm due to a fall earlier in the day. Would recommend this trip to everyone.

Stef was a fantastic guide. So knowledgeable - he knew lots of quirky details about the area including the most beautiful bus stop! I didn't have a car and this was a great way to see a good portion of the Lake District.
Even if I'd have had a car - I would have missed some of the places we went to. Highly recommend!

Both Mike the narrator and Andy the driver were super excellent. The beautiful view points were made even more enchanting by the descriptions given by Mike and Andy. And Both were ever ready to answer all our questions. Many thanks to both.
