This tour was very... - This tour was very peaceful and scenic. Our driver Scott was fun, professional, knowledgeable and interactive. The scenery was very green, lush and beautiful. Hawkshead was pretty with the old stone buildings and homes. The boat ride offered great views from the water. Weather changed several times throughout the day so best to have layers :)

Thanks, David! - David was so kind, excellent driver and very punctual. We had a lovely day all around the lakes and beautiful countryside. The ferry was just long enough to enjoy but not too long and the short train ride was a treat. We are so glad we didn’t drive those narrow streets and have to navigate the traffic. Great day!!

Good agency for Lake District day trips - This day trip from Liverpool to the Lake District, run by the Mountain Goat tour agency, was good. Gene/Jean(?) was our driver/guide and she was excellent at both driving around the really narrow roads and she was knowledgeable about the area. The sights were pleasant and I particularly enjoyed the Tarn Hows area. Not a fault of the agency but the Lake Windermere boat was quite crowded with tourists and it was a bit stressful. Also, the tour lasted just over 10 hours, not the 9 hours advertised.

Great tour - Viator needs to update meeting info though! - I liked the tour - the guide was great and very knowledgeable! However please note if you book on Viator - the meeting time is INCORRECT! It says “meet at 9:25am for a 9:30am departure” but you actually need to be there at 8:55am for a 9am departure. I almost missed the tour because of this error. I arrived at 9:20am thinking I was early because of these instructions.
