I recently joined a guided walk in the Lake District with Jamie, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience! From start to finish, the day was well-organized, informative, and truly memorable. Jamie struck the perfect balance between sharing local knowledge—about the landscape, history, and wildlife—and giving us time to soak up the breathtaking views in peace. The route was thoughtfully chosen, offering a mix of gentle climbs, panoramic viewpoints, and hidden gems I never would have found on my own. The pace was comfortable for everyone in the group - including my 75 year old parents and two teenagers - with plenty of breaks to rest, take photos, and simply enjoy the surroundings. What stood out most was Jamie’s passion for the area—it was infectious and made the walk feel personal and special. By the end, I not only felt refreshed and inspired but also more connected to the beauty and heritage of the Lake District. I’d highly recommend this guided walk to anyone, whether you’re new to the area or have visited before. It’s a fantastic way to discover the Lakes in the company of a knowledgeable and friendly guide.

Beautiful England Countryside! Sheep and all!

cstaffel, Oct 2025

It was so fun. The hike through the England countryside was amazing. Jamie and his lovely pooch made the trip. Jamie was so informative and spoke of all the historical events. I was very impressed on how safety was number 1. He would caution us on up coming parts of the trail to be aware of and was very attentive to all of us. A true professional !! I would suggest this trip to everyone that goes to England.

Elinore_M, Jun 2025

A wonderful hike with Jamie who was both informative, funny and most importantly was very considerate of the various levels of hiking experiences within our group as well as keeping us aware of the safety precautions while hiking and afterwards. I highly recommend this hiking tour with Jamie!

Siham_S, Jun 2025

Thank you Siham, so glad you enjoyed the day :) Jamie

Fabulous Fabulous Day !

Tracey_C, May 2025

This is one of those experiences which live on in your memory and one which you treasure. Jamie was a fabulous guide - whilst making sure we were always aware of anything that might cause any harm ( eg no railings or steep rocky track ahead) he made sure we were hiking - not just wandering along. The route covered farmland, beside rivers, up rocky hillsides , into caves, seeing fields of bluebells plus learning a great deal along the way. We never felt rushed and we felt a great sense of both achievement and deep appreciation at the end of the day . We could not recommend more highly doing guided walks of any level with Jamie .

Lovely review, thank you :) Jamie

Langdale Walk: 8 April

Anthony_C, Apr 2025

This walk is a must do for anyone visiting the Lakes District. Our guide Jamie is very knowledgeable about the area and makes the experience so worthwhile. The scenery is stunning and there are plenty of opportunities for photos. If we are ever in the Lakes District again, the first thing we will do is book a walking tour with Jamie. He also brought along his dog Blisco on the walk which added an extra highlight. Jamie provided details of the walk including a set of FAQs well in advance which was very helpful. Thanks Jamie. We had a great time. Anthony & Jenny

Magic

Catherine_C, Aug 2024

Magical day out walking in the Langdale region of the Lakes District - our favourite day of the trip. Jamie was an excellent guide who was friendly and knowledgeable. The walk took about 4.5 hours, going at a relaxed pace and with plenty of time to stop, explore and appreciate the stunning views. Our small tour group spanned all ages from 20s to 70s and it suited everyone. Highly recommend this walking tour for a day out in the Lakes District!

Response from Host, Oct 2024

A really lovely review, thank you so much! :) Jamie

Jamie is Amazing

Johann_T, Jul 2024

Jamie was an amazing guide, super friendly and incredibly knowledgable about the area, the price of admission was entirely worth it. He was also helpful and happy to give advice even outside of the tour itself.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

So glad you enjoyed, thanks for the review :) Jamie

Highly recommend!!

Claire_D, Jun 2024

Jamie was a brilliant guide, and the route itself was really enjoyable. He kept us all entertained with his knowledge and stories of the countryside and the local area, and we'll definitely be booking another walk with him again when we come back to the lakes!

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thank you! :) Jamie

Priceless Experience!!! Pure Magic

Shemina, Feb 2024

Thank you so much Jamie!!! Jamie is a brilliant guide; he was knowledgeable, warm and friendly. I can talk for the whole of England, given the chance, and he matched my energy from start to finish. Never in a million years would I have ventured out on a walk so far into and up the langdale Valley and surrounding areas. This walking tour was an absolute God-send. I loved every minute and Jamie was fantastically intuitive; speeding up a little when I was energised and slowing right down when I needed to or stop completely when I was mesmerised by the views to allow me to soak it all in. Great chat but also total silence at the right points on the hike. I am a frequent traveller to the lakes and have taken literally all the tours going, but actually going by foot into this netherworldly paradise is simply indescribable .... it's the stuff of magic. I am hopeful that Jamie will put together other walks and tours because I for 1 would join him in a heart beat. Totally beyond value for money, it was priceless!!!

Response from Host, May 2024

Thanks Shemina, really appreciate the review! You'll be pleased to know I've know launched a new walk! Drop me a message and we'll get you booked in :)

Beautiful & picturesque

Juliet_L, Nov 2023

Had the best time - stunning scenery and lovely guide. Would highly recommend and would really enjoy doing this walk again. View for lunch was beautiful.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thanks for the review Juliet, was fun guiding you for the day! :) Jamie

A lovely walk.

samantha_s, Aug 2023

We had a really enjoyable exploration with Jamie. He is professional, knowledgeable and thoughtful to the walkers. Our group consisted of a family of 4 with their 4 lovely dogs and the two us and Jamie. The pace was moderate to accommodate the group. We were very lucky with the weather especially when it was forecast to rain, which allowed us to leisurely enjoy the landscape and take photos. We highly recommend Jamie as a tour guide. My next trip I will ask him to plan a private walk. Thank you.
