Andy gave us a fantastic full day tour of the Lake District! He was friendly, prompt and very knowledgeable about the area. He was very flexible and accommodated our particular interests and requests showing us out of the way places only a native would be aware of. We had a wonderful day and I would highly recommend him. I would... More

Andy came promptly at 9:00am to our time-share in near Penrith with his van (he had a couple with him from Singapore) and we started the tour of a number of places in the Lake District, Such as the Windemere and Coniston Lakes, etc. The sights in the lake District are so numerous that even though distances are not great,...

Having a free morning in Keswick whilst attending a conference I was delighted to discover ShowmeCumbriaTours. Andy obligingly adapted his planned tour to fit in with my timescale and took a small group of us on a very enjoyable tour of the northern Lakes. His knowledge of the area and his fascinating stories totally enhanced the trip. Being a keen... More

Andy Jackson provides both bespoke and half day tours for groups up to 6 people. He is friendly, warm, prompt and very knowledgable.We engaged him for a tour and got to see the many lakes, fells and valleys from great vantage points that were reached via narrow roads with hardly any signposting. Andy knows all the roads in this district... More

We were recommended to Andy via the Keswick Tourist Information office and it was well worth it. We got to see both the well known sites of the Northern lakes together with some stunning off the beaten track locations which we would have never found on our own. Andy was very well organised and also very flexible with regard to... More

Andy Jackson of ShowmeCumbria did an excellent job of taking us around the Lake District. We hired him for a one-day tour of the area and found him to be informative, knowledgeable, prompt, and friendly. We let him set the itinerary, trusting his good judgment about places he thought we would like. He took us through a wide swath of... More

Fantastic. All of the major scenic sights of the lake district in a day. We were lucky with good weather but Andy was a very good tour guide. He told us stories till they came out of his ears about growing up there from treading for fish in Ravenglass to how his dad used to clear the fallen trees for... More

Andy has been in the Lake District forever and is obviously very passionate about his home territory. He went out of his way to research our particular interests before our arrival as well as providing an informed and picturesque tour of the Lake District. He also managed to entertain our 11 yr-old son for the afternoon with various rock-climbing adventures!... More

A friend and I joined 4 others for this 4 hour tour of the Lakes. From the start to the end it was most enjoyable. I have been a visitor to the Lakes for many years but always drove around, thereby missing a lot of the scenery. This time I saw so much that was new and learnt bits of... More
