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)

What A Really Great Tour! We chose Rabbie's Tour's three day excursion to the Lake District and it fully lived up expectations and then some. The itinerary, the stops, onboard narration, accommodation and overall quality of the tour was truly exceptional. All this being said, the best part was the obvious enthusiasm and knowledge imparted by Roger, our Scottish guide, who offered interesting anecdotes at each stop and generally waxed lyrical about the region with a clear passion for what we are experiencing as we made our way through this stunning part of the UK. We have no hesitation in recommending this tour to those travellers seeking a bespoke tour that offers such great value for all that it delivers.
