There are a few Lake District Tours available but we think ours are a bit special.
Firstly, we are the only tour company in the Lakes to have themed tours based around topics such as Lake District scenery, Beatrix Potter or Wordsworth. We even have a Bronte sisters tour out of the Lake District for lovers of literature.
If that isn't what you are looking for, we can create your own personalised Lake District tours based upon what you would like to see and do. We are happy to create a tour for you, advise on what to see and where to go so that you get a perfect Lake District tour.
Secondly, we have different types of tours available to suit the time you have available and your budget. We have scheduled, private and exclusive tours which gives you both flexibility and variety.
Scheduled Lake District Tours
Scheduled tours let you discover the Lake District as a small, mixed group of travellers. They depart and return from fixed locations and follow a specific route. They also amazing drivers and guides who will tell you the tales, show you the best views and make sure that you don't miss a thing. Scheduled tours are available as half-day or full day tours.
Private Lake District Tours
Private tours allow you to travel exclusively, just your group, nobody else. You can decide to meet the tour at a designated place such as the train station in Windermere or be collected from your accommodation in the Lake District. On this type of tour, you also have the full services of a driver/guide and some more flexibility over the itinerary for the day. Everything, except food and drink, is included in the fixed price for up to 6-7 people. Private tours are available as half-day or full-day tours.
Exclusive Lake District Tours
Exclusive tours are personalised and give you total freedom to create your own tour. They are individual, exclusive and tailored to what you would like to do in the Lake District. They can be as simple or luxurious as you want, everything is about you. We can advise and arrange visits to attractions anywhere in the Lakes, provide specialist guides, book tables for lunch or dinner, arrange "behind the scenes" experiences, and act as your personal Lake District concierge. Personalised tours can be arranged for between 1 and 12 people for as many days as required. These types of tours in the Lake District are popular with travellers who enjoy total freedom and want complete exclusivity. Contact us and create your dream tour own of the Lake District.
What makes our guides different
Visiting from the USA?
A large share of our guests travel from North America, and our tours are built for visitors who would rather not drive here.
Lakeland roads are narrow, walled close on both sides, and the passes are single track with passing places - it is not the place to get used to driving on the left. We collect you, we drive, and you spend the day looking out of the window instead of at a sat nav.
Our guide for American visitors covers the ETA, getting up from London, currency and tipping, what to pack for Lakeland weather, and hotel pickups. Read our guide to visiting the Lake District from America.
Common questions about our Lake District tours
How many people are on each tour?
A maximum of seven guests, plus your guide. We use minivans rather than tour buses, so the group stays small enough to get into the quieter corners of the Lake District and small enough that you can actually talk to your guide all day.
Where do your tours pick up from?
We currently pick up from Ambleside, Bowness, Coniston, Grasmere, Hawes, Ingleton, Keswick, Kirkby Lonsdale, Kirkby Stephen, Oxenholme, Sedbergh and Windermere. Not every tour serves every pickup point, so choose your date in the search box above and the available pickups for that tour will be listed.
Can you collect me from my hotel?
Hotel pickup is available on many of our tours - select "Hotel Pickup" in the search box to see which ones.
What kinds of tours do you run?
Our tours cover Scenery, Beatrix Potter, The Brontes, William Wordsworth and All Creatures Great & Small Tours. Most run as either a half day or a full day, and every tour can also be booked privately for just your own group.
Can I book a private tour just for my group?
Yes. Most of our tours have a private version, where the minivan and the guide are yours alone. Private tours can usually be adjusted to suit what you most want to see - just ask when you book.
