Tim took us on a very informative tour where my daughter and I learned many things about Beatrix Potter that we didn’t know. I especially loved seeing the real places that Beatrix drew in her books.

Pauline_M

It was a wonderful day Beatrix Potter house was out of this world the Lake Cruise was very good too thank you for a wonderful day

We thoroughly enjoyed our Beatrix Potter’s countryside tour. Our driver (apologies - we can’t remember his name!) was welcoming, friendly, very knowledgeable and spoke very clearly at all times. We were amazed at how much was packed into a half day tour: it actually felt like we were out for a whole day. We had just the right amount of time to spend at the places where we stopped. Well worth the cost!

While I was not able to attend the tour (my mistake), I carried on to Hilltop for my paid tour. While I was advised that my ticket was void, I showed up and discussed the matter with Hilltop’s lovely staff. They felt I should not have to pay twice and informed me to contact the Mountain Goat. I hope you are able to receive this message. I am the “third” mountain goat to have visited this site on the expected day. 6/4/24 11:50. While I respect current policies, it is in the best interest of the company to confirm and pay all relevant pre-paid bookings if the guest wishes to pursue the tour. Thank you in advance.

Everything was perfect, I love the countryside the sweeping hills and I guess my favourite part was Hill Top I had read somewhere they were closed on Fridays so it was just a huge bonus that it was open. The driver was awesome very knowledgeable had a knack of telling stories and giving information about other buildings when asked. All in all made my trip to the lakes very memorable.

ティム素敵な思い出をありがとう。丁寧で快適な案内でした。彼は非常に親切で、日本語も少し話せるよ。またいつか会えるといいね。 Thank you, Tim for the wonderful memories. It was a polite and comfortable tour. He was very kind and can speak a little Japanese. I hope we can meet again someday.

annjeanbeasley

Excellent tour with Tim who was very knowledgeable, attentive and considerate. There were only 4 of us on the tour and he had time for all of us explaining what we were going to do. Two of the tourists were Japanese and he was able to speak to them for little bits in Japanese very impressed. Saw all the places that were relevant to the lady herself. Tour time was just about right, but perhaps would have to have a look around Wray Castle.

This is the second time I’ve used Mountain goat tours to see the Lakes and I love your service. My sister and I had so much fun learning about Beatrix Potter with our tour guide, Tim. Always so lovely and making us laugh. Tim was the G.O.A.T!!!
