The Lake District from York tour perfection!

Published on Apr, 2025

I had an exceptional tour of the Lake District from York with Mountain Goat yesterday! My guide John S. is a such gentleman, very patient and wonderful driver. It was a long day and a lot of driving for him. I booked a group tour but ended with a private tour since I was the only tourist on this trip. John still spent a lot of time tell the single listener history, stories and his personal hiking experience amount the mountains alone the way The experience was perfect. The Lake District is beautiful and peaceful, my favorite was Tarn Hows and I enjoyed two little towns and many little lambs I saw along the way. I did feel sorry for John who drove all day long just for one guest though. I wish more tourists will join this memorable road trip with endless sceneries, wonderful driver/guide and comfortable clean vehicle.

Lake District

Great tour. JJ our guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. I learned a lot about the area. Even though the weather wasn’t the most cooperative I’m glad I went. Very enjoyable.

Excellent day out

Published on Aug, 2019

Despite the quirky English summer - four seasons in one day, this was an excellent day out in the Yorkshire Dales and the southern Lakes District. Both drivers (JJ and Jane) were very informative without being over the top and had great driving skills, knowing all the back roads to avoid the traffic. We thoroughly enjoyed the day.

Great day trip

Published on Aug, 2019

We enjoyed this trip immensely and the two guides we had during the day were excellent! The Lake Windermere cruise was lovely however unfortunately had a little rain so visibility was a little limited. The tour was well organised and ran smoothly from beginning to end. Great way to see the Yorkshire area with lots of history explained along the way
