Fantastic tour and even though the weather wasn’t great, it was a perfect day. Our driver Frank was amazing and his driving is A+++++! I will be back for the other tours.

Helen_R

The stone circle was amazing. The time allocated for Grasmere was more than adequate. The drive though the mountains was quite beautiful. The driver’s skill was evident. His history needs to be fact-checked because he got names and relationships wrong. He depended on tapes to fill in the blanks in his narration. He was personable and attentive.

I took my parents who were visiting me from Spain on the tour to the Lake District and it was simply AMAZING. Our tour guide Frank was so lovely, passionate, thoughtful, attentive and taught us many interesting facts and history points throughout the journey. This tour is everything that you could want from a tour. It’s interactive, comfortable, interesting, beautiful and you cover so many different gorgeous spots and places! We took so many pictures and we are looking forward to going onto the next tour with Busy Bus either to Wales or Yorkshire. I definitely recommend them! :)

Good trip,but wish we had longer at each stop very tight schedule, 20 minutes,apart from lunch,one and quarter hours,also could have done with stop between destination,as at 76 years old needed the toilet,and was apprehensive the last half hour weather I’d make it😖I did fortunately.Driver Lee was pleasant and informative.

It’s not about memorable experience it’s about the kindness of our guide. We were stuck in traffic for 1.5 hours because of some accident in Windmere lake & at this moment our guide jumped off the car & brought some drinking water for all of us. I was astonished to see his kindness & professionalism. Love to be a part of this kind of tour with viator again. P.S I am sorry to forget our guide’s name who was the guide of Lake District on 3rd of June, 2023. Please convey him our gratitude & love for being such a wonderful guide.❤️❤️

Me and my mum had the best time, our driver/tour guide Lee was absolutely brilliant and Lee driving along the single country lanes was very impressive “safety driver” 🤩 The Lake District is absolutely worth seeing, the scenery was stunning. We visited various areas and loved them them all. We highly recommend this tour. Absolutely no complaints - will happily book again with busybus for another tour. Thank you Lee for a great day.

My mum and I had simply the best time on this trip to The Lakes. Our tour operator, Frank, was absolutely brilliant - chatty, friendly, funny and full of interesting facts and info. We went right into the mountains which was simply stunning (and exhilarating! Frank is a bloody excellent driver!) We learnt loads, saw the most breathtaking views, had lots of laughs and more. I highly recommend and will definitely be looking to do another trip when I can! Thank you!
