Fantastic day with BusyBus in the stunning Lake District! - What an amazing experience! I had a wonderful time on the BusyBus tour through the breathtaking Lake District. Everything was well-organised, and the route was packed with stunning views, charming villages, and interesting stops.
A special shout-out to our tour guide and driver, Adrian, such a friendly and enthusiastic guy! He shared loads of interesting information about the area, but always in a fun and engaging way that kept everyone’s attention. His humour, knowledge, and smooth driving really added to the relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere.
We were also incredibly lucky with the weather: clear blue skies and sunshine, which made the scenery even more spectacular. The mountains, lakes, and green valleys truly came to life, and we had plenty of opportunities to get out, take photos, and explore.
All in all, an unforgettable day. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to discover the Lake District without the hassle of driving!

Beautiful landscape, cosy villages. - Very good experience. Our guide and driver, Shelly, knew the area very well and made the excursion enjoyable and pleasant with her comments and the chosen routes. Great introduction to the Lake District, although I would have liked DE more time to enjoy DE nature and the small towns DE that well preserved area.

Great Day in Wales - Due to an issue, I was rescheduled to the North Wales tour. The BusyBus staff was helpful and flexible in getting me on a different tour on the same day. The North Wales adventure was fantastic! The bus was clean and comfortable, it even had usb ports. Joe is a great driver and an enthusiastic, informative, and entertaining tour guide. The itinerary was varied and wonderful, we got to take in the views, go for some walks, and shop. It was a really great day.

We got a lot to see... - We got a lot to see and were able to get out and go for a walk in some places. Even a short hike in nature was possible. Our driver was very friendly and told a lot. The only negative for me was the vehicle. For tall people it was much too cramped and uncomfortable for the long journey time

Fine - Pretty and quiet area, suitable for realaxing walks.
The guide was friendly and wellmeaning albeit young and inexperienced.
