The Lake District has been on my bucket list for many years. I'm finally here, and Mountain Goat tours has helped make the first few days some that I will never forget. I'm a walker, but my husband is not, so we chose the mini-bus tour option. We took a half day tour of Beatrix Potter's home and environs and... More

We took 2 trips : the High tour and the 10 Lakes spectacular. Derek and Tony the guides really looked after us and were always friendly and helpful to all on the bus. It is a great way to get around if you have limited mobility ( my husband was on crutches ). They drive you expertly along those narrow... More

We have just returned from the Lake District having had a wonderful visit. I had booked Mountain Goat prior to our arrival as they were recommended by the Macdonald Old England Hotel, where we stayed. Tony came to the hotel and picked us up at 09:30, we had others on our tour and the bus was full. Have to say... More

These guys were subcontracted by Evan and Evans tours to conduct the Beatrix Potter tour. They were brilliant and I can't recommend Mountain Goat tours highly enough. The mini bus was modern and comfy and Tony, our guide and driver was knowledgeable, personable, and a very safe driver. We had a really lovely day. Rcommended.

We hired 4 buses to take our (large!) party on a 3 hour trip that we designed (we know the area). The drivers were fantastic - lots of local interesting and entertaining knowledge (that we didn't know!). Very comfortable and well driven.

We have just returned from the "High Adventure Tour". We were very lucky as it was the first day this tour had been able to operate due to the passes being closed by snow drifts, one still was. I can only enthuse about and recommend this tour. The minibus was warm and comfortable, our guide Jim was very friendly and... More

We booked 3 tours with mountain goat, unfortunately one (the high tour) was cancelled understandably due to bad weather conditions and impassable passes. We did the Tour A (10 lakes) and tour B (beatrix potter). The full day tour packed a lot in but it gave us a great overview of the lakes both tours showed us places we might... More

We booked this trip through viator and felt very frustrated at the time for lack of communication. But let me tell you that once we went direct to mountain goat they were superb. The trip was well planned and organised. Our driver/speaker 'Malcolm' was pleasant and very knowledgable. We had lots of photo stops, being safety driven at all times.... More
