I used the scheduled Mountain Goat bus from Ferry House to Hawkshead and was very pleased. It was well timed (unlike most buses in the lakes- stagecoach....) And very reasonably priced. The driver slowed down at various points to show us points of interest and let us take photographs of the gorgeous scenery. More

Although I had a rental car for exploring the Lake District, I thought it would be well worth it to spend a day with Mountain Goat Tours so that I, who would be driving, could enjoy the scenery and not worry about getting from A to B. Well, my daughter and I were the only two participants on a tour... More

I am physically disabled. I require a cane and wheelchair. I took the tour with Mountain Goat. Our guide Jim Whitworth had returned from a trip to India. His 18th. He knew more about India than us. My wife and I were totally floored by this man with his knowledge of the region. We were only 6 in the bus.... More

As a non-driver and lone traveller I asked for a scenic tour at the Bowness Tourist Information Office and was booked in for the 10 Lakes Tour with the aptly-named Mountain Goat company. The driver, Tony, was a mine of information (I don't know how you remember it all Tony!), a very safe driver and infinitely patient guide. The comfy... More

We did the 10 Lakes tour with Anne and had a cracking time. The tour was well planned and we had some excellent photo stops along the way, the information and fun Anne gave was wonderful (even for a Lancashire lass). The boat trip was excellent and really gave you wonderful views on Derwent water. I could really go on... More

We went on the Ten Lakes Spectacular tour, which was a good way to get a general feel of the Lake District since we only really had two days there. Pickup is from the hotel you're staying at - a plus! Our driver-guide was Jim, who was genial and knowledgeable. Pity that there was a group right at the front... More

We went on the whole day tour to see the Lakes on the 1st day of our stay & found it was a great way to get an overview of the area & decide where we wanted to go back & visit during the rest of our stay. Our driver Tony was very knowledgeable, giving us lots of interesting information... More

The drivers/guides were friendly, courteous and above all very knowledgeable . I am sorry I do moy recall the name of pur 2... More

Driver was friendly and very knowledgeable, had a very good understanding of the area. Took us on a breathtaking tour of the area. I would... More
