I can't recommend this tour highly enough. I'm a solo female traveller and booked the tour with David at short notice. David went out of his way to pick me up from my hotel which Trip Advisor mentioned was out of the pick up zone when I booked. David is a true gentleman and is so knowledgeable about the local area and all the history of this beautiful place. I saw loads of lakes, villages and sights such as the Stone Circle and Grasmere Gingerbread in the 4 hour tour and it wasn't long enough. I've only booked two days in the Lake District and it's nowhere near enough time but David managed to show me so much during the short tour I booked. He was really funny and very easy to talk to and I would absolutely book another tour with him again and recommend him to anyone travelling around here. He even gave me some great recommendations for dinner and I can vouch for his recommendation at Hooked in Windemere - it was delicious and the staff were wonderful. Definitely one of the better tour operators I've ever experienced.

OMGosh! This tour was so informative. It was also very beautiful, as is the LAKE DISTRICT. David was our guide and did an excellent job of making it interesting with stories that aren't in your tour book. I thought this tour was going to be stodgy since it was a "driving tour." It wasn't! Also, who knew that there was another "stone circle"? I appreciated the tips for return visits as well.

After a year of planning our five week United Kingdom tour, we were blessed to secure David as our private guide for three experiences in the Lake District. First off David negotiated a most precarious drive just to arrive at our isolated cottage, regaled us with many historical facts to supplement the outstanding views we were enjoying, filled us with humorous asides, and treated we “ older ladies “ with gentlemanly courtesy. And, yes, we heartily recommend David!!! The “other lady’s review” - We so enjoyed touring the Lake District with David. His knowledge of the area was fantastic and was delivered with a generous dose of humor. He arranged stops with our limited mobility in mind. He acted as if his sole purpose was to ensure we had a great time-which we did!! Thank you, David, with leaving us with wonderful memories!

David was a terrific guide - very informed and informative, a nice sense of humour and a clear passion for ensuring his passengers gain as much as possible fom the tour, whatever their age or mobility. He's knowledgeable about the area, its history and landscape and it was a treat to spend part of our day with him.

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.

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!

Matt_C

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.
