Truly wonderful and relaxing tour of the gorgeous Lake District! We took a family tour with Shelly, who was not only an excellent storyteller and knowledgeable tour guide, but a safe and talented driver. Shelly was so friendly and welcoming - we were lucky to have her on our trip. Our tour began with a stop at Rheged Discovery Centre, which was truly impressive! We adored our time there. Then we continued on to Castlerigg Stone Circle, which was breathtaking. From there, we stopped at Grasmere - for being such a small town, there is so much to see and do (be sure to grab some gingerbread)! Our tour hit a bit of a snag at that point - the road to Brae Tarn was inaccessible due to weather - so Shelly instead suggested we cruise across Lake Windermere. It was the best decision, as we really enjoyed the natural beauty and being on the water. We then finished with a walk through Bowness before a relaxing drive back to Liverpool. A wonderful day well spent - highly recommended. And many thanks to Shelly!

A very informative drive amongst the best scenery in England. A perfect way to spend the day. Great driver

Robert_B

Beautiful part of the country. The coach was quite comfortable. And our guide, Jerry (Gerry?) was great.

Highly recommend to anyone who is travelling solo and/or can't rent a car to go to all the places on the itinerary - that's a very good starting point with your adventure in Lake District area. The driver Mark is greater at his job, and will give you a decent bunch of facts and trivia about the region and people related to it.

Lovely views, nice villages, good driver who took us on an off-road park and gave us the opportunity to walk for about 20-25 minutes. Mountain views are spectacular.

We had a really amazing time in the Lake District! Frank was a great tour guide, and there was a really good balance of things to see and do. Even the time spent on the bus was entertaining with music, audio-clips from relevant literary works, and information to listen to. We highly recommend to anyone who wishes to see the Lake District but is short on time.

I have wanted to visit Lake District for the longest time, but i thought it would be near impossible to do so without a car. Until i found this amazing opportunity! I have been on a trip with a wonderful guide, Frank, that was super informative and most importantly fun! He made sure that everyone on this trip was comfortable and enjoyed their time. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone who loves nature, or gingerbread (if you go you'll find out why ;) )! Worth every penny! And a huge thank you to Frank and BusyBus for organizing such breathtaking trips!

Lee is not only a great, engaging, and funny tour guide, he is also an amazing driver. We lucked out with good weather too. I really do recommend the tour for the views and it is a perfect introduction to the Lake District. I hope to be back one day, but especially now since I have taken this introductory tour.

Beautiful day in the Lake District even though makes you want to come for more... with funny, knowledgable and very good driver Lee, our tour guide, who made the trip an easy ride considering there were few ups and downs on the hills. Was so lucky with the weather!

All the beautiful scenery and the stops at Windermere, stone circle, and several other places. The narrative by the tour guide.
