We were collected at Bowness Pier by Mark who took us through 10 different lakes, travelling places and hearing stories and facts that we wouldn't have known if we did this ourselves. Expertly driven in narrow lanes and byways too.
Plenty of stop off points to get lots of pictures and see the lovely views.
Nothing was too much trouble for Mark and at a lovely unhurried pace.
We had ample coffee, toilet stops and a generous lunch stop in Keswick.
My advice is Don't hesitate to book this tour of the Lakes.
Amazing, Thanks
