Wonderful day out - Such a wonderful day seeing the beauty of the Lake District and its villages. Our tour guide was fantastic, very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the area. Communication regarding timings for departures and locations was very clear.

Fabulous - Went on 2 separate day tours with Busybus during my recent trip to Liverpool. North Wales with Frank, and Lake District with Adrian. Thoroughly enjoyed both days. The trip was well planned. Adrian and Frank are knowledgeable, funny and engaging and we learnt a lot about the history and stories of the region. I hope I have the chance to join another tour with Busybus!

Day in the Lake District - Good day out with visiting family, who enjoyed seeing the sights the Lake District has to offer.
Boat trip on Swift was very pleasant, with reasonably priced food and drink on board. The various village excursions were well described prior to us arriving there by the
Driver, who was obviously very experienced and knowledgeable about the area and the local wildlife.
The only small issue was slightly uncomfortable seat belts on the bus, but we all enjoyed the overall experience.

Great weather for a great day - Great day out in a small group. Lee was a great guide and driver. We were able to explore more unique places big tours can’t get to. Loved the music and additional information and stories by Beatrix Potter. He went out of his way to provide opportunities for great photo stops.

A Boss Day Out in the Lakes District Cumbria County - Went on the Lake District tour on Saturday 6th and honestly, it was boss! Started with a lovely boat ride from Bowness Pier to Ambleside, proper scenic and relaxing. The mountains and valleys were absolutely stunning as we walked through them, and every time I spotted water I was like a little kid again ☺️🥰🫠.
Special shoutout to our tour guide Adrian, who was 1000% super 👍🏾 sound, funny and really looked after everyone. On top of that, he’s an excellent driver, which made the whole trip feel safe and comfortable too.
It was a dead good day out, full of breathtaking views and pure fresh air. I’d recommend this adventure to absolutely anyone. Trust me, you’ll love every minute ❤️🔥.

Fun day in the Lakes - I really enjoyed this day tour to the Lake District, I was surprised at how much we got to see in one day! After a cruise on Lake Windermere we had free time in Ambleside for lunch and a chance to buy Cumberland sausage rolls as recommended by Lee our guide. We enjoyed stunning scenery at Blea Tarn after a crazy drive up 30% gradient hills and roads just wide enough for our bus to get through. Finally there was time in Grasmere before heading back to Liverpool. Lee our guide and driver kept us entertained with stories, lots of local information and music mixes. It was a fun day out!

Lake District tour - Had the most fantastic day with Adrian as our driver. His knowledge of the tour and all the places we visited and his stories along the way were invaluable . He kept us amused and informed us of history on our journey. I met some lovely people in our group who came from all over the world . I thoroughly recommend this company and my tour of the Lake District was one to remember forever
