Relaxing short tour - Very relaxing and informative way to see highlights of the Lake District. Highly recommended if you’re on a short break and never been before as there’s a lot of beautiful places to see, or if your family aren’t much for walking of course! David knows his stuff and loves the area so is always very positive about where he takes you and despite doing these tours many times remains very enthusiastic about ensuring you get to see the best of the area.

Magnificent - First time visiting Windermere, hotel booked us a private tour with David of Brooklyn Tours. We couldn’t have been more pleased. David was extremely knowledgeable about the area and took us to places we could have never accessed on our own. Because of the rewarding experience we were truly able to experience the Lake District!

Wonderful Tour and Tour Guide - David with Brook Tours of Windermere was knowledgeable, accommodating, entertaining, and professional. He provided us with an excellent overview of the Lake District and its history. We made some stops along the way to get out and see particular sights, which were great. The driving between stops wasn’t just driving though as David provided insight on the areas we were traveling through. I would highly recommend any of the tours he offers.

Excellent Tour, Excellent Guide. - Four of us did an eight hour tour with David and it was fantastic. Being intimidated by the narrow roads, British driving, and an over reliance on Google Maps, we were so pleased to have David in charge. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the Lake District and took us everywhere. What a great introduction to this beautiful area. David really made our visit special, we can’t wait to return.
