My partner and I had an incredible time on the 'Ultimate Full Day Lake District' tour! Even though the day started with rain, it didn't dampen our spirits as it cleared up in the late morning. We were treated to breathtaking views and visited unforgettable places throughout the tour. What made it even better were the two amazing female tour guides who were not only knowledgeable but also incredibly friendly. Their passion for the Lake District and their expertise made the journey even more enjoyable. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area! 🌟🏞️🚶‍♀️

Tim was our guide for the day. As there was only the two of us he amended the tour to suit us as we had already been to the slate mine. The tour was so informative and such a great way to learn about the Lake District. Tim was a mine of information and had a reply to every question we threw at him. He knew the roads like the back of his hand and we felt safe the whole trip. I can’t praise Tim enough, such a knowledgeable and friendly guide and we loved it despite the showers! Thanks Tim. We recommend this trip 100% !!

A tour in a small van - 6 passengers -- was a bit like being shown around by a friend. Tim, the guide, was knowledgeable and also knew when to pause and let us take in the scenery on our own. Even if one had a car at one's disposal, the tour has the advantage of a driver who knows the roads and the parking areas.

Excellent tour and with Tim as our guide, both informative and friendly. It was a steady pace but did not feel overly rushed, timing was spot on. We booked the tour as we used public transport to get to the Lake District and wanted a way to not only see some of the sights but learn about them as well. At one spot we could hear another tour company guide talking and they were nowhere near as knowledgable as Tim. We thoroughly enjoyed the day even the snow storm on the Ullswater Cruise made for something different. Will definitely use them again if we return lovely day.

The tour was all we had hoped for and more! Our tour guide, Gillian, was an endless font of fascinating information, providing historical context and bringing every spot to life. Our driver, Sandra, was excellent, navigating one-lane country roads and narrow packhorse bridges with surprising ease. Despite it being a seriously (and non-stop) rainy day, we had a great time -- with the added bonus that all the waterfalls were cascading furiously (and magnificently!). This was the perfect way to orient ourselves to the Lake District -- the tour was comprehensive, without being overwhelming; the stops were timed well; and the itinerary covered local history, ancient history, a fair bit of Beatrix Potter and William Wordsworth, and the requisite purchase of scrumptious Sarah Nelson gingerbread in Grasmere. We were a group of six, which was an ideal number giving the whole experience a very personal feeling. We could not endorse it more enthusiastically.

We booked this before Covid and was not sure how it was going to work. It was so safe. There was only our party (two of us). The guide- Tim was excellent. His knowledge was never-ending. We are from the UK and visited the Lake District before but this was the best thing we could have done- we saw places/things we did not know about so even if you are from the UK, it is well worth it. Thanks Tim and English Lakes Tours!

What an experience. Its' worth every penny. (Book at English Lakes Tours website to help the owners). My guides were incredible. Sandra and Gillian were so kind, knowledgeable, and accommodating. There were just five of us in our group. I loved having that personal touch. Gillian is a historian, curator, and all-around wealth of information regarding the area, and Sandra drove us around safely (and when you're on those roads, you'll understand why she gets a gold star from me). The weather was perfect. I have more than a hundred incredible photos to always remind me of how special this part of England is. Each lake was more beautiful than the last, and I learned so much about Beatrix Potter and how she almost single-handedly preserved the area from industrial interests. The surprise view at Derwentwater was truly breathtaking and a highlight. Don't hesitate to spend the money. It's worth it.

He not only showed us some incredibly beautiful places but also gave us guidance on places to go and hikes to take on our few days in town. I would highly recommend this tour even to people who have been to the lakes before. It is well worth your time.

Not to be missed, this intimate day trip was a thoroughly enjoyable experience made even more memorable by Tim who shared his vast knowledge of the Lakes along with interesting facts and stories of yesteryear that brought the whole landscape to life. The tour was well organised striking the right balance between touring in the bus and stopping off to see the wonderful lakes and sites with plenty of time to take photos. The boat trip from Ullswater was really pleasant along with the visit to Grasmere to sample Sarah Nelson's famous homemade gingerbread dating back to the 1800s. All in all a great day out and one we would recommend to anyone who wants to experience the 'real' Lake District.

Had such a great day and saw so much of the beautiful Lakes District with Tim our guide, who was excellent and super knowledgeable and a great driver. It's a full day, no drinks or snacks included (bring your own) and we had time in Keswick to buy our own lunch. Comfortable van (nice and warm on the cold day we were there) and good audio. Tim took us to places we never would have found ourselves, little narrow back roads with beautiful views. Lots of information and I don't think there was a question Tim couldn't answer. This tour was one I was really keen to book and I wasn't disappointed. Highly recommended.

We took three full-day tours with Gillian and Tim: “The Brontes”, “Lakeland Poets” and “Ultimate 10 lakes, 4 passes”. Al. Were excellent. Gillian led the first two and Tim the last. Gillian is a historian and is well versed in the life and times of the authors. Her presentation is lively as well as educational. The days went by very quickly. The day with Tim was quite rainy and windy; so, the views were not as good as they would be on a clear day. However, Tim’s easy going manner, good humor and cheerfulness saved the day. His has sound knowledge of the Lake District geology and presents the information in an easy to understand manner. We definitely recommend English Lake District Tours and will engage them again next time we are in the area.

We did the full day tour recently and had a brilliant experience. We got a great overview of the Lake District - far more than if we toured on our own with our limited time availability. Tim and Jill were very experienced guides with a great knowledge of the area which was very helpful. They were also very friendly and gave us plenty of time at each stop. They cater for small groups and this meant that we got really personal attention. The boat trip on Ullswater was particularly enjoyable. Next time we're in the Lake District we'll definitely go on one of their other tours.

Amazing tour of the Lake District!

Excellent and comprehensive tour, covering so much ground in a day, meticulously arranged and not feeling rushed. Tim did an excellent job as driver and guide, giving a really informative commentary. The minivan was extremely comfortable. A full and varied itinerary, including ten lakes, a boat trip on Ullswater, a visit to Castlerigg Stone Circle, and Honister slate mine, all against a backdrop of stunning scenic views. I would highly recommend English Lakes Tours to any visitors wanting to get a thorough view of what the Lake District has to offer.

We were driven in a minivan and there were only 3 of us on the tour (off season, late October). The small vehicle and number of tourists allowed us to get a lot of individual attention, questions answered, and help in and out of the vehicle. The scenery was spectacular, narration very informative, and we were able to stop and take pictures all along the way. We made a stop at Castlerigg Stone Circle and saw some lovely English countryside. Tim even stopped in Grasmere so we could purchase Sarah Nelson’s original gingerbread, a local favorite. If you go there, also purchase some ginger and raspberry marshmallows. They were delightful and I wish I bought more. Tim even dropped us back at our hotel on the way back to the train station. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer day. You won’t be disappointed with this tour!

Excellent tour Tim was very good. It felt like a personal tour as it was a small group. Tim was able to re-arrange the schedule for us to take the boat trip. Really recommend and enjoyed the tour.

Very good. Tim’s a nice guy who is very knowledgeable. Highly recommended. Covering 10 lakes and assorted other places of interest, we feel it covered all the important places you need to see.
