Reached the heights of heaven in the Lake District - Frank was a great tour host. Unique way of presenting with music and humor. Provided some historical background which was very interesting and showed he clearly had a knowledgeable interest in the history. Pleasant, courteous, friendly, accommodating - gave tips about various local areas of interest. And the piece de resistance…the views! This made our entire trip. So very worth it.

Great introduction to the Lakes District - We had a beautiful day for this tour, and it did not disappoint. Our driver, Lee, was an excellent tour guide and driver--which is very important as some of the roads were quite narrow and difficult to navigate! We thoroughly enjoyed the breathtaking beauty of the area and our stops in the lovely towns of Grasmere and Windermere. We only had one day to see the Lakes District, and this tour was exactly what we hoped it would be.

Learned new things, explored the beauty of Lake District, friendly staff. - Lee, John and Matt were excellent! Lee had a game with a prize which warmed up the trip. We learned about the Lake District as well as having fun. We had time exploring the towns. I like the most was walked/hike to the top of a hill in Keswick. I learned from John the plant Nettle, can be used medicinally, ceremonially and as a highly nutritious food source. Roots, seeds, stems and young, tender leaves are all edible. Native Indigenous people use stinging nettle for medicine, ceremony and as a food source. Mature fibrous stems have been used to make rope, cloth and fishing net. As you can see, he has good knowledge of variety of subjects. All in all, I highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful memories - Had an amazing experience. The busybus was on time for pickup. Fortunately the entire bus was just for us. We were a group of 10 friends. The driver was very knowledgeable and friendly. Really would recommend to anyone. Worth booking it.

A lovely day-long tour with a great guide! - Our guide, Stuart, met us exactly as planned, in time, and fully prepared for the day. The Busy Bus was clearly marked and immaculately clean. The ride was comfortable, and Stuart had every stop timed perfectly. It was a beautiful tour, and we learned a lot. It was a great balance between natural beauty and time to explore shops, cafes, and restaurants. We made it back to Bay A at the airport in a timely manner, and Stuart helped us find transit back to our hotel. A great day, over all.

Perfect! - 16th of September - Tour in the Lake District with Frank I didn’t know about the company Busy Bus but I don’t regret booking with them. We visited the most beautiful and interesting places, everything was well organised and on time, the views were amazing and Frank made the whole trip 10 times better with his kindness and stories. We will definitely book again with Busy Bus when we come back to the Uk for another adventure.

Aggravating - We went all the way to the airport which was a 30 minute drive and 30 pound taxi ride and waited 45 minutes for a bus that never came because we were never notified that the tour was canceled.
