Really enjoyed this 3 day tour - our guide, Clive, being an especially great asset to the entire proceedings. Recent wet weather causing road closures affected our itinerary as did rain on our 3rd day. But thankfully Clive was able to adapt it such that we didn't feel we missed out at all. The commentary was lively and well-informed. The places visited were interesting. Accommodation was good (although a double bed would have been nice for this single traveller)
3-Day Lake District Explorer Small-Group Tour from ManchesterA delightful trip through the southern Lake District. There were some hiccups in transportation scheduling and communication between the tour operators, so beware of that on self-guided tours. But the accommodations were nice and the rest of trip was fantastic.
Literary Walking in the Lake DistrictVery well organised, the driver was very nice and gave us lots of hints about what to do or what to see.
