We had an amazing four-hour tour of the Lake District starting from Windermere. Our guide, David, was simply great! We visited several breathtaking lakes, and the views were absolutely fantastic. David's engaging manner made the entire tour very enjoyable. We definitely recommend this tour and especially our wonderful guide, David!

Had a great tour! The driver was very knowledgable and informative. The vehicle was clean and comfortable. Lots of stops to take pics. Never felt rushed.

OMGosh!
This tour was so informative. It was also very beautiful, as is the LAKE DISTRICT.
David was our guide and did an excellent job of making it interesting with stories that aren't in your tour book. I thought this tour was going to be stodgy since it was a "driving tour." It wasn't! Also, who knew that there was another "stone circle"?
I appreciated the tips for return visits as well.
Response from Host, May 2024
Really appreciate the kind review you have left.
Glad that you got to hear some of the Lake District stories that aren't in the tour book!
We hope that you now have an appetite to return here.
Thank you.

After a year of planning our five week United Kingdom tour, we were blessed to secure David as our private guide for three experiences in the Lake District. First off David negotiated a most precarious drive just to arrive at our isolated cottage, regaled us with many historical facts to supplement the outstanding views we were enjoying, filled us with humorous asides, and treated we “ older ladies “ with gentlemanly courtesy. And, yes, we heartily recommend David!!!
The “other lady’s review” - We so enjoyed touring the Lake District with David. His knowledge of the area was fantastic and was delivered with a generous dose of humor. He arranged stops with our limited mobility in mind. He acted as if his sole purpose was to ensure we had a great time-which we did!! Thank you, David, with leaving us with wonderful memories!
Response from Host, May 2024
It's such an encouragement to receive a review like the one you have provided.
So pleased that you have wonderful memories of the tours and of the Lake district.
It was both inspirational and a pleasure to have met you both.
Thank you.
David.

David with Brook Tours of Windermere was knowledgeable, accommodating, entertaining, and professional. He provided us with an excellent overview of the Lake District and its history. We made some stops along the way to get out and see particular sights, which were great. The driving between stops wasn’t just driving though as David provided insight on the areas we were traveling through. I would highly recommend any of the tours he offers.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
