A great day at the Lake District, especially with our excellent driver Mike, was up to expectations and even more.

The journey takes place in a comfortable minivan (15 people). The guide (in my case a very kind woman) made everyone comfortable and helped with suggestions as much as she could. The trip stops at many different points along the way to Windermere. The house of Beatrix Potter is shown only from the bus, but it is not a big problem - you can take some beautiful photos of it also from the bus). The stop at Wordsworth school is a treat - the visit at the school (2.50 pounds) is optional but I suggest to do it. You are given free time at this point, for lunch. The village is very pictoresque and worth walking around it (it is very small). There is a country church and churchyard right next to the school that is worth visiting (even if it will take away all the time for lunch). Other stops along the way are really nice (very beautiful landscapes). Maybe the most disappointing part is the Lake Windermere cruise: you just go by boat from a dock to another of the lake in 20 minutes. The landscape isn't that special and I guess that time could be better used to see other places (or views). Overall a highly recommended trip.A very relaxing tour around the Lake District visiting a lot of different places. The scenery is beautiful and relaxing.

A very relaxing tour around the Lake District visiting a lot of different places. The scenery is beautiful and relaxing. Tour leader was really friendly and customed the stops to the group that we were. The group is limited as well so easy to agree and feel as a family. The tour also includes a boat trip. Really enjoyed the day and will do it again in the future.Enjoying day with well executed guided Nice weather help us getting mesmerised trip nice cruise and steam engine ride

We have always rented a vehicle and done touring on our own, but with only a couple of days in Manchester and the strong desire to see the Lake District, we signed up for the Mountain Goat van tour. It turned out to be so great, we’ll start making these kind of tours a regular part of our visits to new places. We got to see and experience many of the highlights of the area (including the train and boating experience on Lake Windermere) with an awesome driver/guide/advisor - Tom - who answered our endless questions with as much enthusiasm and patience at the beginning of the tour as he did at the end of our 10 hours of adventuring! A high quality tour. We were completely satisfied.
