A postcard with commentary - Definitely worthwhile especially while in the area. Our guide, Lee, was fantastic. He was very entertaining and animated and kept you engaged throughout the day. He is also not a bad photographer. I felt very spoiled being able to go on the lake cruise as well as a steam train. The lakes were very picturesque. Thanks again Lee for the brilliant day. You made my trip to the Lake District very memorable and unforgettable.

Beautiful day in the Lake District - Paul was an excellent guide—friendly, knowledgeable, informative and considerate. The transportation van was new, clean and comfortable. Though we had a small group, they didn’t cancel the trip and Paul made sure we still saw all of the sights. Fortunately, the weather was beautiful and we couldn’t have been more impressed with the area - beautiful, rugged scenery (lakes, mountains, rivers and farm animals) mixed in with quaint villages with shops, pubs and cafes. We highly recommend Mountain Goat Tours and this particular tour. Thank you!! We will be booking again in the future.

A must do when in England - This was a great tour. Jean was a great driver/guide adapting to the conditions as required. The Lake District is beautiful and I really loved the tour of them. We had plenty of good photos spots and the scenery as we were driving around was stunning. I highly recommend this tour.
